Lahaina: Turtle Town Snorkel and Whale Watch (Dec-April) Aboard Quicksilver in Maui booking from $89.95

Lahaina: Turtle Town Snorkel and Whale Watch (Dec-April) Aboard Quicksilver

Overview

Lahaina Turtle Town a.k.a. Mala Wharf is our first choice snorkel destination. In 1992 powerful hurricane Iniki destroyed the Mala pier. The remaining posts from the pier have created an artificial reef and sanctuary where corals and other marine life thrive. While snorkeling at Mala Wharf, you’re likely to spot Moorish Idols, Green Sea Turtles, and Saddleback Wrasse.

If the snorkel conditions are not ideal at Lahaina Turtle Town the Captain will choose from one of the other premier westside snorkel locations that include Honolua Bay, Airport Beach, and Launiupoko. All of these locations offer excellent opportunity to view the beloved Hawaiian green sea turtles, many varieties of brightly colored tropical fish, and beautiful coral reef formations.

During whale season we frequently observe Humpback whales as they enjoy the warm Hawaiian waters! This tour segment will include expert narration and provide a "play-by-play" commentary of the whale behaviors as you view them.

We had an amazing time. We did not get to see any turtles but the captain extended our trip to be able to see a group of whales.

I booked this boat ride for my boyfriend for a Christmas present for our travels in Hawaii with my family. I’ve been on two other boat rides in Kauai Hawaii as well which were both amazing too. I had a really great time, i was a little bummed we weren’t able to go to the turtle town because of the current and unsafe waters, but we still went to another amazing spot with some pretty tropical fish along with seeing a lot of whales today too. The crew were very friendly along with everyone on the boat. Sometimes these things can be very hit or miss but my experiences have all been great! Me and my boyfriend had a really great time.
