Morning Snorkel Adventures
Mornings start early at Maui Snorkeling Adventures. Guest board the ship at 6:30 and return at 12. This provides plenty of time to enjoy Molokini, the first stop. Enjoy a continental breakfast on the way to this ancient volcanic crater. This marine preserve has stunning water visibility – up to 150-ft. The volcanic crater provides a perfect place for the coral reef and abundant marine life that thrive here. Guests who have never snorkeled or want a refresher lesson can get it before heading into the water. Even people who can’t swim can enjoy the experience. Flotation devices are provided to those who want them.
The next stop will be at Turtle Town, famous for the green turtles that thrive here. A quick ride will take visitors to this destination where snorkelers can swim with these majestic creatures. There are also plenty of other sea creatures to see, including moray eels and sometimes whales! November through April huge Humpback whales can be spotted by visitors. This certainly kicks up the excitement.
Afternoon Trips
For those who prefer to sleep late, an afternoon snorkel adventure is perfect. Maui Snorkel Adventure takes guests to Coral Gardens, a natural reef that is teeming with marine life. See green turtles feeding here as well as octopus, eels, and crabs. The coral formations are breathtaking in these sheltered waters. Colorful fish add flashes of bright yellows and vivid blues to the backdrop. Guests get hungry from all of the exercise and excitement. A buffet lunch is provided to fill those empty spots. This 3-hour excursion is the perfect way to spend an afternoon.
SNUBA
A fairly new sport has taken the snorkeling and diving world by storm. SNUBA is combined from ‘snorkel’ and ‘scuba’. The two popular sports are combined. Swim fins, a dive regulator, and a dive mask are used. Like snorkeling, SNUBA allows guests to breathe via hoses attached to an air-supply up top. This way, guests can enjoy the snorkeling they love, while exploring deeper under the surface. No dive experience is necessary to enjoy this sport.
Maui Snorkel Adventures offers SNUBA on their morning and afternoon trips. A short lesson is provided. Your dedicated crew load the air tanks onto a special raft which provides snuba 30-minutes of underwater adventure time. All of the equipment is provided, and professionals are underwater with guests – only a hand gesture away. This adventure is thrilling for guests ages 8 and up.
Private Charters
People can book the Lani Kai for special events and occasions. This is the perfect place to ‘pop the question’ to that special lady. Take a sunset cruise with friends, a birthday bash or get married and then do some snorkeling. Food, drinks and even entertainment can be provided by Maui Snorkel Adventures. Prices will vary depending on the length of the cruise, entertainment, and food and drinks served. What better way is there to start a life together or celebrate a 50th anniversary than on the Lani Kai?
