Wailea Beach Snorkeling for Non-Swimmers with Photos

Overview

The Wailea snorkeling for non-swimmers tour by My Splash is a 1.5-hour lesson and reef float off Wailea Beach, where a guide paddles up to 4 guests on a 15-foot inflatable board with life jackets and masks. It suits non-swimmers aged 5 to 60; the drawback is that we have not yet read reviews of this exact product.

Highlights

• Built for non-swimmers: land instruction, then floating and breathing practice before a guide-paddled float over the reef off Wailea Point (Greetwell and to-hawaii listings).
• A 15-foot inflatable board carrying 4 to 6 people and up to 1,000 lbs acts as a floating base; guests can stay on it or snorkel beside it.
• Maximum 4 guests per guide; mask, snorkel, fins, wetsuit top and life jacket included.
• Underwater photos are part of the product name and the operator's main differentiator per Hawaii Guide.
• Meets at the Wailea Beach public access parking, 3894 Wailea Alanui Dr, with free cancellation up to 24 hours before.

What to Expect

1. Arrive 30 minutes before your start time at the Wailea Beach public access lot and meet the guide.
2. Get fitted with a wetsuit top, life jacket, mask, snorkel and fins and receive instruction on land.
3. Practice floating and breathing through the snorkel in shallow water near the beach.
4. Hold onto or sit on the 15-foot inflatable board while the guide paddles the group over the reef gardens off Wailea Point.
5. Look for green sea turtles and reef fish; the guide stops the board at the snorkel spot and takes photos.
6. Return to the beach after about 1.5 hours, rinse off and receive your photos.
