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.

The crew was very helpful and pleasant. They told you about the different types of fish 🐠. Make sure to check in early and sit on the first level to get in the water first.

A must do on the island of Maui. It was our teenage kids' favorite part of the trip. There were turtles swimming just below us. We also loved how they concluded the snorkel session with a cruise around on the ocean. Very nice experience :)

Liked the crew. Comfortable boat. Had to travel much longer than expected to find fish and turtles. Saw some fish but no turtles.
