Hula Girl Snorkel Tours

Adults $97, Children (2-12 years old) $82, Infants (under 2) free (plus 7% tax and $5 per person fuel surcharge)

Maui's newest and most luxurious sailing catamaran, the 65' Hula Girl is truly state-of-the-art. From her teak accents and comfortable seating on the foredeck ... to the VIP lounge and hi-tech navigation station on the flybridge ... this multi-million dollar custom catamaran will just make you say "wow." Hula Girl provides daily morning departures right from Kaanapali beach for their premium 5 hour snorkel tour. Cruise along the West Maui coastline to premier snorkeling destinations such as Honolua Bay Marine Preserve. Dive platforms at the stern and a wide stairway between the bows provides easy access to the underwater world. The tour includes high-quality snorkel equipment. Scuba diving is available as an on-board option; introductory diving is $75 and certified diving is $65 (in addition to the snorkeler rate).

Maui experiences steady trade winds about 90% of the year; after snorkeling the crew of the Hula Girl typically puts the 97 foot rotating mast and her racing sails through their paces ... enjoy trade wind sailing on the journey back to Kaanapali Beach!.

The Hula Girl was conceived as a "step up" from your standard snorkel boat ... the concept is to provide a "high-quality restaurant and bar that sails." This vessel is actually equipped with a full commercial kitchen and drinks and beverages are ordered a la carte off their menu and prepared to order. Prices are surprisingly reasonable ... lunch items run $7 to $13, beverages $2 to $3, and cocktails $4 to $6. See the complete Hula Girl Breakfast and Lunch Menu.

Tour are offered 4 days a week on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday; checkin at 9:00am and the tour operates from 9:30am to 2:30pm.

Activity Tips

Teralani II and III are both beautiful sailboats that are meticulously maintained and offer a quality premium snorkeling experience on Maui's west side. Capacity on these boats is 49, which is less than half of the people you'll find on most of the Molokini snorkel tours. People also appreciate the mid-morning check-in times  ... this is a good choice for people who don't want to get up at 6am every day on their vacation.In the wintertime Honolua Bay isn't available as a snorkel destination ... winter swells make Honolua Bay a surfer's paradise but those waves make snorkeling impossible. The water becomes murky and you can't see a thing. In the wintertime this boat's destination is the south shore of the West Maui Mountains ... the added bonus during this time of year is the numerous whale sightings on the way.The Teralani boats also offer two different Maui sunset sail experiences, one with dinner and one with heavy appetizers. All drinks and food are included with the published rates for the Teralani.

As we said a moment ago, the Teralani II and III are beautiful sailboats ... as a matter of fact they are two of the nicest in the Hawaiian island. But the nicest ... and newest ... in Hawaii ... without a doubt ... is the Hula Girl. This stunning new boat has replaced the venerable Kapalua Kai and is now offering the ultimate in comfort and luxury in snorkel tours and dinner cruises here on Maui. This boat is SOMETHING ... flat screen TV's, killer sound system, teak accents, closed circuit video systems to monitor all the decks and keep an eye on the sails, digital charting at the navigation station ... all I can say is I am glad I don't have to pay the mortgage on this multi-million dollar vessel.

The Hula Girl was conceieved to be a high-quality restaurant experience that happens to float around on the water for added ambiance. Food is prepared to order on-board in their commercial galley ... do keep in mind that this means you will need to bring your wallet along on the tour ... all food and beverages are purchased a la carte. Prices are reasonable though ... and complete menus are posted with each tour offering above.

All of these boats pull right up onto Kaanapali Beach for boarding ... you take your shoes off and walk across the sand to get on the boat. You will likely get your feet wet as the first step onboard will either be on wet sand or in a few inches of water (you could even get splashed up to your knees if a wave hits while you are boarding). Occassionally we have someone who just can't load this way ... if that's the case consider doing a dinner cruise out of Lahaina Harbor instead..
