If you're looking for snorkeling opportunities, scuba diving, dinner sails, sunset sails or submarine rides, Maui's got it. Into the water? Maui is a playground for all age groups.
98% of all ocean-bound trips leave from two major harbors on Maui. The busiest is harbor on Maui is Lahaina harbor on the iMaui's western shore. This is ideal for people staying in Lahaina (obviously), Kaanapali, Kapalua, Napili, and Kahana. The other harbor is located further south in Maalaea, and is closer for those staying in Kihei, Wailea and Makena. If you're staying upcountry, Maalaea harbor is closer. Check out the maps page for a visual.
Snorkeling boats on Maui are one of the most sought-after adtivities, but if snorkeling makes you nervous and you still want to experience Maui's marine life, consider a submarine ride off the Maui coast, or even a visit to the Maui Ocean Center Aquarium.
During the winter, there's whalewatching. Humpback whales travel to Maui and the other Hawaiian islands from Alaska to mate and give birth to their young. They can be seen between the months of December through April. The best months to view Maui's humpback whales is February and March. Year-round you also have a chance of catching a glimpse of the endangered green sea turtle, dolphins, and yes, even sharks.
