PacWhale Eco-Adventures is offering a new Maui snorkeling tour that takes visitors "where many of the bigger vessels can't." The adventure, called Maui Nui Wild Side Lahaina, is a six-hour tour aboard a 34-passenger vessel that departs out of Lahaina.

An open itinerary, the captain will choose two destinations on the day of the tour based on ocean conditions. Potential snorkeling spots could include Honolua Bay, the Carthaginian wreck or even a couple locations off the island of Lanai.
"They will see a plethora of beautiful reef fish and coral with possible sightings of dolphins, green sea turtles, octopus and many other marine animals," the company said. Owned by the nonprofit Pacific Whale Foundation, the tour will have certified marine naturalists on board to answer questions. Lunch and refreshments are also provided.
