About
Our epic snorkel adventure is designed for intermediate and advanced snorkelers. We will take you to the best locations in West Maui to find and see amazing marine life. We will go to a location with the best conditions for snorkeling that day and provide high quality marine biology education. This adventure requires guests to have experience swimming and comfort in the ocean.
What to wear Please come prepared with an appropriate swimming outfit and towel. Since we will be out for between 45 minutes to 1.5 hours, it is easy to get cold, even in Maui. UV blocking rash guards or wetsuits can be very helpful to alleviate the cold but are not necessary.
Sunscreen Paradise Snorkeling advocates for the use of protective clothing and reef-safe sunscreen to help protect fragile coral reefs and to promote a healthy ocean environment. We support the statewide ban on sunscreens containing oxybenzone and octinoxate and are proactively instituting our own ban during adventures of sunscreens containing: oxybenzone, octinoxate, avobenzone, avobenzine, homosalate, octisalate, octocrylene, and ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate in order to alleviate any additional stress on coral reefs. When buying sunscreen, it is important to read the ingredient list, as the term “reef safe” is not regulated and can be used as a marketing device. Choose sunscreen that is non-nano zinc oxide based. Mahalo for helping us protect the ocean.
