Local expert tips

• Choose an earlier tour time if you prefer calmer ocean conditions, lighter beach crowds, and more time to enjoy the rest of your day in Wailea or nearby Kihei.
• Wear your swimsuit under your clothes so you are ready to get in the water after check-in. A light cover-up is helpful for before and after snorkeling.
• Bring reef-safe sunscreen and apply it before arriving when possible. This helps protect Maui’s reefs and gives the sunscreen time to absorb before entering the ocean.
• If you are prone to motion sickness, this shore-entry tour can be a nice alternative to a boat snorkel tour since the snorkeling begins directly from the beach.
• Plan extra time for parking and finding the meeting point since the exact Wailea beach location is sent after booking and beach parking can vary by time of day.

What to bring

• Swimsuit worn under your clothes
• Towel
• Reef-safe sunscreen
• Sunglasses and hat
• Light cover-up or change of clothes
