Top Maui Safaris

See all sorts of fish that you might not spot if you snorkeled from land on this Maui snorkeling cruise. Head to the Molokai Crater where you might manta rays, sea urchins, eels, or even a harmless shark. This tour also stops at a spot called Turtle Town along the Maui coastline, where you have the chance to swim alongside enormous Hawaiian Green sea turtles.

See West Maui’s highlights as you enjoy the island breeze on a unique open-air bus tour with a small group. Your local guide shares their insight and handles all navigation and logistics.

Children must be at least 5 years old and meet booster seat and height requirements for safety.

Explore Lanai’s hidden coves, reefs, and sea cliffs with a small group instead of joining a crowded snorkeling cruise.

Hit the road on an off-road vehicle during this small-group utility task vehicle (UTV) tour from Lahaina.

Discover the many waterfalls along the Road to Hana with a private guide to show you the best photo spots and vistas. While group tours spend more time driving, this personalized tour is focused on the adventures along the way. An ideal excursion for families, seniors, or couples, your flexible guide lets you set the pace rather than being forced to keep up with—or wait for—other tourists.

Explore Maui’s famous Road to Hana—without having to drive or navigate yourself. Spend a half-day driving the famous scenic road in an open-air safari van that immerses you in the lush Hawaiian rainforest. Make plenty of stops, including Wailua Valley Lookout, Keanae Arboretum, Pua’a Ka’a State Park and its falls, and a break for fresh banana bread.

The offshore crater of Molokini has some of the best snorkeling spots in Maui—if you can reach them. Thankfully, this half-day snorkeling tour heads straight for Molokini and Turtle Town nearby on a 53-foot (16 meters) Lani Kai II boat with a 20-foot (6 meters) waterslide. Visit two snorkeling locations, get the chance to spot whales, and enjoy onboard breakfast and lunch. Whales sightings are seasonal in nature, from November through April.

Booking into a group surf class often means waiting for your turn and limited time actually riding. A private lesson in Maui gives you the instructor to yourself, starting with the basics on the beach at Maalaea before heading into the water to catch waves. The one-on-one format flexes to your level, whether it's your first time standing up or you're working on technique.

Explore Maui’s “Mother Reef” on this half-day guided kayaking and snorkeling safari along the shoreline of Olowalu, where you’ll swim and splash amidst massive corals that are over 100 years old.
