Swim with sea turtles during this snorkelling boat tour to Maui’s turtle paradise – Lahaina Turtle Town!
The Hawaiian sea turtle has an adorable and friendly face that you might be lucky to catch a glimpse of in the water among the Hawaiian islands, and getting to swim with such peaceful, beautiful creatures is a particularly special experience! Lahaina Turtle Town, otherwise known as Mala wharf, is one of the best snorkelling spots on Maui and is renowned for its many turtles and as well as its great variety of fish. Lahaina Turtle Town’s crystal clear, warm waters are sure to enchant beginner and experienced snorkelers alike! In addition to snorkelling, during Maui’s whale season from December to April you will also have the opportunity to do some whale watching, time permitting, from aboard the Quicksilver!
The Quicksilver is a boat that has everything you need to enjoy your time out on the water during your snorkelling boat tour from Ma’alaea Bay to Mala wharf by Lahaina! Its double decker formation allows for a sunning spot up top, great for whale-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 the snorkel spot there will be 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. A lunch of a hot dog, chips, soda, and chocolate chip cookies is included as part of the snorkelling tour to Maui’s Turtle Town.
The Quicksilver was built with Maui’s wind swept temperament in mind, and the tall double-hulled design allows the boat to travel around Maui smoothly. Passenger comfort is a priority on the Quicksilver, and with all the amenities coupled with an enthusiastic crew and an unbeatable snorkel spot, you are bound to have an incredible snorkelling experience off the coast of Maui!
Maui has so much to offer, from the lush waterfalls along the road to Hana and the impressive peaks of Haleakala National Park to the best snorkelling spots among the Hawaiian islands!
