The Perfect Maui Afternoon

If your morning is already spoken for, this is your tour. We depart Maalaea Harbor aboard Akialoa, our 54-foot performance sailing catamaran, and sail out into the Auau Channel toward one of Maui’s most beloved snorkel spots.

Coral Gardens is exactly what it sounds like. Sheltered, calm, and teeming with life. Vibrant coral formations, tropical fish in every color, and Hawaiian green sea turtles that seem completely unbothered by the company. Our crew is in the water with you and happy to show you around.

After snorkeling, dry off on deck and enjoy an afternoon spread of tropical fruit, gourmet cheeses and crackers, an antipasto platter, mini sandwiches, and cookies, along with an open bar featuring local beer, white wine, and island cocktails on the sail back.

During whale season, the Auau Channel is prime humpback territory, and sightings on this tour are common.

Two and a half hours. A beautiful afternoon on the water. Come sail with us!

Includes:

• Delicious buffet lunch on the return sail
• Beverages, including water and assorted sodas
• Open bar including beer, white wine, and island-inspired cocktails
• Snorkel gear & floatation

• Wear your swimsuit and bring a towel!
