Bring your snorkel gear or rent some nearby, and spend your afternoon gliding through crystal-clear waters, discovering Maui’s colorful marine life.

If you’re feeling adventurous, Ka’anapali Beach is the perfect playground. Try your hand at stand-up paddleboarding for a fun and active way to explore the calm morning waters. Or book a catamaran sail directly from the beach for a scenic cruise along the coast – complete with snorkeling stops and maybe even a few whale sightings along the way.
