Climb aboard the Quicksilver, a spacious double decker catamaran, for a four-hour morning snorkel cruise to Coral Gardens, one of Maui’s most popular reef destinations. Morning departures from Ma’alaea Harbor take advantage of typically calmer seas and lighter tradewinds, creating smoother cruising conditions and excellent underwater visibility. At Coral Gardens, you’ll slip into crystal-clear Hawaiian waters to explore vibrant coral formations teeming with colorful tropical fish, with Hawaiian green sea turtles frequently making an appearance in this thriving reef ecosystem. The friendly crew provides all snorkel gear, flotation devices, and expert instruction for snorkelers of every experience level.
Between snorkeling sessions, the Quicksilver’s double decker layout offers plenty of space to relax with shaded seating, open-air decks, and panoramic views of Maui’s coastline. Adventure seekers can launch down the onboard waterslide or take the leap from the second deck jumping platform. As you cruise back toward shore, enjoy a casual lunch of hot dogs and chips along with refreshing beverages while taking in narrated views of the Maui coastline. Dolphin sightings are likely during your time on the water, adding to the marine life encounters that make this snorkeling excursion memorable.
