Maui Ocean Raft Snorkeling

Last week I think I did one of the best snorkeling trips in Maui! It was with Ocean Riders out of Lahaina. First of all, Chad and Patty (the crew) were amazing. Very personable and helpful.

For this snorkel trip around Lanai they only take about 16 passengers. So it really has the feel of a private snorkel boat to Lanai, without the Private costs. An early start, but well worth it. We saw whales crossing the channel, followed by a close inspection of shipwrecks on the coast of Lanai. A little further we came to our first snorkel spot. The water was so clear, so many fish, and very few other snorkelers as our boat was the only one there.

Two more snorkel stops and an adventurous ride along the cliff faces rounded off the day - not to mention the great deli lunch. I saw some of the bluest waters and spectacular fish as I've ever seen. This certainly is a top Maui Activity to keep in mind for anyone.
