Crossing the Auau Channel on an ultra-modern, luxury catamaran, you'll have plenty of room to relax or roam around with its spacious galley, sun deck and trampoline areas while you experience the essence of aloha that the staff and the Hawaiian surroundings exude. Lanai's coast, largely undeveloped, feels unspoiled and remote even though it's just seven miles from Maui. Its warm, clear waters boast world-class snorkeling and vibrant reefs teeming with marine wildlife. Lanai is also famous for its large populations of wild dolphins (spinner, bottlenose and spotted), plus toothed whales, sea turtles and an occasional Hawaiian monk seal. On the trip over, you'll be treated to a continental breakfast of Maui Vegetable Fritatta (eggs, potato, bell pepper, onion, spinach, mushroom, cheddar, parmesan), assorted pastries, fresh island fruit, juice, Maui coffee. When it's time to snorkel, you will be outfitted with quality snorkeling gear and an expert naturalist will help you perfect your snorkeling skills and give you a brief lesson so you can identify the fish you see. Arriving at your snorkeling location, you'll enjoy a leisurely snorkel. If you choose, you may also take part in a guided reef tour, led by the naturalist. Following your time in the water, you'll come back aboard the catamaran for a delicious grilled lunch of chicken breasts, kiawe-smoked pork with guava BBQ sauce, hot dogs, garden burgers, potato salad, Maui-style potato chips, and dessert. Afterwards, sit back and relax as you cruise along the Lanai shoreline and then head back out to the Auau Channel to ride Maui's trade winds on an exhilarating sail back to Lahaina Harbor.
