With this small group setting operating at 50% capacity, you’ll have ample space to savor this intimate experience while sunbathing on deck, feeling sea spray on the nets or recharging in our shaded cabin. Honolua Bay is designated as a Marine Life Conservation District and is renowned as one of Maui’s most scenic snorkel sites. Wildlife encounters while snorkeling most commonly include the the Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle and an array of reef fish, many of which are endemic to the Hawaiian Island chain. Hawaiian Spinner dolphin sightings are also common as we sail along the northwest coast of Maui. Breakfast, a BBQ lunch prepared onboard, and a premium bar are included on this cruise.

Second trip in a week with this company, first whale watching, then this incredibly enjoyable snorkeling trip to Honolua Bay in northwest Maui. Their Spirit motorized sailing catamaran is spotless and crewed by complete pros trained in marine wildlife and conservation. They are a nonprofit, but these folks know how to have fun... The catered food was plentiful and tasty, the drinks good, and the service super personable. The snorkeling equipment was sanitized, very well-maintained and correctly fitted. Lots of fish, some nice corals, great water temperature, and excellent sailing. Captain Chris, Desmond and Michelle are a major asset in the experience and are incredibly attentive. We even got 30 minutes of excellent whale viewing on the way back to Lahaina. My unreserved highest recommendation for the PacWhale team and I will book them again next trip.

We truly enjoyed our sail to Honolua Bay and our snorkelling there. Seeing dolphins on the way north and on the return trip was a bonus. The crew were amazing - helpful, knowledgeable and obviously enjoy their jobs. The food and beverages were amazing and there were just the “right” number of people on board. We appreciated the education provided by the staff - I think this is what would set PacWhale apart from other organizations. Thanks for an enjoyable day!
