About
Encounter humpback whales and snorkel on our 2n1 combo eco-raft tour. Our award winning eco-raft tour departs from Lahaina and stops to snorkel Maui’s west coast or Lanai, whale watch, and encounter dolphins.
Snorkel stops are for all levels of snorkelers, beginner friendly and include one-on-one snorkel instructions. You can snorkel with tropical fish and may even swim with turtles and other unique marine animals.
Between snorkel stops, watch humpback whales that migrate to Maui every winter, listen to our marine naturalists share whale facts and whale songs via hydrophone onboard.
