Best Snorkeling on Maui

Meet at start point

Local take from MauiBookIt

One of the best Turtle Town choices for beginners and families: the private guide adjusts the pace, and nervous snorkelers can hold the paddleboard instead of swimming freely. It launches from Mākena Landing and lasts two hours. Book the earliest time for calmer water.

Overview

All Skill Levels: Beginners Welcome! Ages 3 & UP I want it ALL! Who doesn’t? Learn to Stand Up Paddleboard and get your Snorkel On! at the same time... Paddleboard over the pristine Wailea Coastline off Makena Landing in the heart of “Turtle Town”… We’ll stop for our Fresh Fruit “On Ocean” picnic and Snorkel around in search of “HONU” (Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles) and their Ocean Friends! No need for fins as we’ll have our Paddleboards to hold on to! Great way to be safe and secure while checking out the reef and Ocean Life with your Expert Ocean Guide! Of course Beginners are Welcome, but we will be happy to customize your Private Tour to your skill level! PS… This tour specializes in “Nervous Nellies & Scaredy Cats”
