FIRST-CLASS | TAILOR-MADE: Captivating Maui is a place full of contrasts. Enjoy sunshine, shopping, and lovely beaches together with the bustling town of Lāhainā on its western shores. On Maui’s south side, every stretch of sand is more beautiful than the last and two miles off its shore is the small, volcanic crescent of Molokini, home to colorful schools of fish, eels, rays, Hawaiian green sea turtles and lobsters, which you can explore on a fabulous snorkel tour. A car is included, offering you great flexibility to explore the island on your own.
Spend 4 days exploring magical Maui on this first-class trip with included car rental. Snorkel with turtles, enjoy a sunset dinner cruise and discover the stories behind the beautiful vistas that can only be the islands of Hawaii.
Check into your hotel on Kaanapali Beach and spend the day at leisure to relax, shake off any jetlag, and get your bearings. Then embark on a half-day tour to the Molokini Crater and don your snorkel equipment to meet the inhabitants of this protected marine reserve. Swim alongside Hawaiian green sea turtles or stay high and dry on a glass-bottomed boat.
Your last full day in Maui is at leisure until a sunset cruise sends you home in style. Enjoy local beers, wine, and cocktails, and feast on mouth-watering fresh delicacies while watching the sun set on another perfect Hawaii day.

Half Day Molokini and Turtle Snorkel Tour
Take a snorkeling tour to the Molokini Crater and Turtle Town from Maalaea harbor. Encounter the extinct volcanic cone of Molokini and marvel at native Hawaiian marine life in their natural habitat.
Start the day off right with a breakfast of eggs, ham, cinnamon rolls, donuts, coffee, fruit, and juice. Get ready to spot the manta rays, fish, and sharks, who swim around the coral year-round. Molokini is protected as a marine preserve and bird sanctuary, so expect pristine conditions.
Use the snorkeling equipment to explore the underwater world. Enjoy riding down the two water slides to splash into the water.
Take a peek at the reef without getting in the water via the glass-bottom viewing room. Have peace of mind knowing a lifeguard will be in the water at all times watching over the snorkelers and ready to help if required.
After leaving Molokini, head for your second snorkeling spot of the day at Turtle Town. Take the chance to swim with Hawaiian green sea turtles amid the calm waters before returning to the boat for lunch.
Take advantage of the boat's amenities which include two slides, two freshwater showers, quality snorkeling gear, flotation devices, and restrooms. The boat features an easy-to-use stairway in and out of the water, and lots of shade if you want to stay out of the sun.

Sunset Dinner Cruise
Departing from Pier One in Lahaina Harbor, enjoy a relaxing sunset cruise with a delicious three-course meal, listen to island-style music and watch the sun go down while cruising the waves on a state-of-the-art catamaran.
Once aboard you will be seated by our crew at tables assigned based on the size of your party. Once you've settled in, our table side service will begin and the crew will bring you warm breadsticks and water. Your dinner cruise includes two free drinks, once the catamaran has motored out of the harbor, we will take your drink order. We typically serve local beers from Maui Brewing Company, Cabernet and Chardonnay wine, cocktails such as Mai-Tai's, Pina Colada's, Margarita's, Tequila Sunrise, etc., soda, juice, and water.
Your meal begins with a crisp Caesar salad, homemade buttery croutons, shredded parmesan cheese and warm breadsticks. For the main course, your options are rosemary garlic roasted prime rib, fresh Mahi-Mahi with lemon buttery caper sauce or penne pasta with fresh Thai basil marinara sauce.
On the side, enjoy freshly sourced vegetables sauteed and steamed white rice with shoyu sauce. For dessert delight in homemade double-layer chocolate cake or New York-style cheesecake.
Relax as the sun sets behind the distant Maui mountains and keep an eye out for humpback whales while you enjoy your delicious dinner cruise.
