Boat crossing from Maui to Lanai for morning snorkeling
Lanai's reefs are generally less crowded than Maui's popular Molokini Crater snorkel destination
A boat trip crossing the channel between Maui and the smaller, less-developed island of Lanai for morning snorkeling - a lower-traffic alternative to Maui's more famous (and more crowded) Molokini Crater trips.
Tripreviewall's Take
A good pick for travelers wanting Molokini-quality snorkeling with fewer boats and crowds.
Good for
Snorkelers wanting a less-crowded alternative to Molokini Crater
Travelers curious about Lanai's coastline without a full day trip to the island itself
Worth knowing
The Maui-Lanai channel crossing can be choppy - factor in seasickness precautions
Morning departure timing generally means calmer water than afternoon
