An awesome Luxury Snorkel trip!
Quick Details
This three hour afternoon excursion’s destination is the famous Turtle Point. This area has the second longest continuous reef on Maui and has a great population of Hawaiian Honu (green sea turtles). Watch these protected creatures, from a safe distance, as they rest on the bottom or glide gently over the colorful beds of coral. The sails will not go up on this trip so we can provide you with maximum snorkel time on this three hour trip.
Trip location can be subject to change due to weather and ocean conditions, as the Captain sees fit for the safety and well being of the guests.

About Turtle Point
Turtle Point offers Maui’s largest coral reef system nestled in the protected bays at the base of the West Maui Mountains. The caverns and ledges in the coral and lava, as well as the lava fingers nearing the surface create the perfect habitat for sponges, corals, octopus, fish, eels, and shrimp. The highlight of this reef is the number of Green Sea Turtles that gather here to be “cleaned” by fish known as the Hawaiian Cleaner Wrasse. The Green Sea Turtles are an endangered species and must not be touched or harassed. They are very curious animals and often allow snorkelers a good look from just a few feet away.
Huka Diving is a unique way to enjoy the wonderful underwater world. You don’t need to be certified or take classes. This is a surface supplied air system that allows the participant to dive 10-15 ft below the surface. You must be 16 years of age or older and pass a medical review. Ages 10-15 available with Private Divemaster.
A large spread of gourmet hot and cold appetizers will be served on board throughout the excursion. A selection of domestic & craft beers, seltzers, premium red & white wines and champagne, and top tier liquors are also included (ID required for alcohol consumption and for your safety.)
