Lānaʻi Snorkel Tour from Kāʻanapali Beach, Half Day (Kaanapali Ocean Adventures)

Overview

The Kaanapali Ocean Adventures Lanai snorkel tour is a 4-hour trip aboard the Sanity, boarded by raft off Kaanapali Beach, crossing to Lanaʻi for a captain-chosen snorkel stop with gear and snacks for $179. It suits families with children 5 and up who want to skip Molokini crowds. Drawbacks: 72-hour cancellation window, no fixed snorkel site.
