The Top 5 Maui Snorkeling Tours
Snorkeling and Maui go hand in hand for a reason: the pristine waters off of the Valley Isle’s coast teem with some of the most vibrant marine life in the world. And while terrific snorkeling is found just off the beach across the island, nothing trumps taking a trip out into the Pacific—where diving under may put you within reach of everything from manta rays to Hawaiian squirrelfish.
