Local expert tips

• This is the best fit for guests who want a Lanai snorkeling experience but do not need beach time or a full-day island visit. For guests who want to go ashore, Trilogy’s Discover Lanai tour is the better option.
• Lanai’s offshore snorkel sites can vary by weather, wind, and ocean conditions, so keep an open mind and trust the captain’s decision. The crew will choose the best available location for the day.
• Wear your swimsuit under your clothes so you are ready to get in the water, and bring a towel, reef-safe sunscreen, sunglasses, and a light cover-up for the ride back to Maui.
• If you are prone to motion sickness, consider taking your preferred remedy before check-in, since the channel crossing between Maui and Lanai can be choppy depending on ocean conditions.
• Plan extra time for Lahaina parking and check-in, especially if you are driving from South Maui, Wailea, Kihei, Kaanapali, Kapalua, or another part of the island.
