If it’s paradise you are looking for, then it’s West Maui that you should add to your itinerary. While it cannot be denied that Maui boasts several tourist spots that exude natural charm and tropical beauty, West Maui, nonetheless, is distinctly spectacular in its own way that you just have to go and give it a visit.
Without a doubt, there is no better way to explore this place and take pleasure in its lovely views above and below water than by going on a snorkel sail! Come and join Sea Maui’s West Maui Snorkel Sail for a half day of sun, adventure, and a whole lot of fun!
Departing directly from Ka’anapali Beach in front of Whalers Village, Sea Maui’s West Maui Snorkel Sail leaves in the morning at 8:30 AM to perfectly kickstart your day. As soon as you and the rest of the tour group have settled comfortably in the vessel, you will be served a deliciously prepared breakfast and freshly brewed coffee to energize you for the adventure that lies ahead! What’s great about this inclusive morning treat is that you get to enjoy it while relishing the views of the scenic West Maui coastline. Watch out as playful spinner dolphins and even humpback whales, if ever you visit during the whale season, gracefully show themselves at the water’s surface to say hello! You will love the sight of all of this, for sure!
Upon your arrival at your designated snorkel sites in West Maui, more spectacular sights await! The captain will determine which prime snorkel locations you will get to visit during your scheduled tour, depending on the water and weather conditions on that day. Regardless which spots you get to swim and snorkel in, you are guaranteed the best underwater views, given West Maui’s untainted and well preserved waters and formations, and, accordingly, its abundant sea life.
To cap off such a beautiful underwater escapade, you will once again be served scrumptiously cooked lunch by Chef Joey of Joey’s Kitchen, which you will delightfully feast on as you head back to Ka’anapali.
