Snorkelling boat tour and dolphin watching off the coast of Lanai, from Maui

Snorkel and swim some of the most pristine waters of the Hawaiian Islands off the shore of Lanai during this half day boat tour from Maui!

Just across the Maui Nui basin from Maui, the stunning cliffs of Lanai plunge dizzyingly into the ocean. Lanai is one of the smallest and least traversed islands of the Hawaiian archipelago, and due to its pristine habitat, below its sheer cliffs you can find crystal clear waters with visibility of up to 100 feet and thriving coral reefs – in other words, the perfect snorkelling environment! The waters around Lanai are also home to a large pod of over 100 spinner dolphins and it is likely you will encounter them during your boat tour from Maui! The tour will make multiple stops in order to give you the best snorkelling and dolphin viewing experience while also showing you the diverse beauty of Lanai, and your captain and crew aboard the Quicksilver will fill you in on the history and legends of your unique surroundings as they take you on an unforgettable snorkelling journey from Maui!

The Quicksilver itself is a boat that has everything you need to enjoy your time out on the water during your snorkelling boat tour from Maui! Its double decker formation allows for a sunning spot up top, great for dolphin-watching, yet plenty of shade and a covered main cabin to relax away from the heat. The top deck comes with a diving platform so that you can jump right off the side of the boat and the lower deck has a water slide for an even more fun way to get into the water! For an easy access option in and out of the water, at the back of the boat there are two staircases that lead down to sea level swimming platforms. The Quicksilver is also a United States Coast Guard certified passenger vessel that carries all the necessary safety equipment and at each snorkel spot there will be instruction given and a crew member in the water acting as lifeguard.

Before the snorkelling begins, there will be a Snorkel 101 class taught by the captain, so don’t worry if this is your first time snorkelling! The boat also provides floatation devices including life vests, float belts, boogie boards, and foam noodles for your floating pleasure as you snorkel or swim. After your time in the water, you will be able to rinse off using the freshwater showers on the boat. Breakfast and lunch are included as part of the snorkelling tour to Lanai from Maui and you will have your choice of mixed fruit, pastries, juice, tea, and coffee in the morning and for lunch there will be turkey and ham sliders, vegetarian sliders, pasta salad, veggies and ranch, and chocolate chip cookies for dessert!

The Quicksilver was built with Maui’s wind swept temperament in mind, and the tall double-hulled design allows the boat to travel from Maui to Lanai and back again quite smoothly. Passenger comfort is a priority on the Quicksilver, and with all the amenities coupled with an enthusiastic crew and unbeatable snorkel spots, you are bound to have an incredible experience snorkelling and dolphin watching off the coast of Lanai!
