Maui Ocean Activities

There are lots of ways to spend your time on the ocean when you visit Maui, Hawaii. Take a submarine ride, a sunset sail or a snorkeling or scuba adventure.
Teralani Sailing Adventures
One of my favorites snorkel sails and whale watched on Maui is with Teralani Sailing Adventures which operates from Kaanapali Beach in West Maui. I first sailed with them about five years ago and have done so on several occasions since on both snorkel sails and winter whale watches. I am pleased to tell you that I have always had a great time. Their catamarans are two of the best that you'll find on Maui.
UFO Parasail on Maui
If, like me you've always wanted to feel like it is to hang from a parachute but had no desire to jump from a plane or soar off a mountain top, there's a way that you can experience all the thrill but feel totally safe in doing so. That way is to parasail. One company that does a superb job is UFO Parasail at Ka'anapali Beach on Maui.
5 Star Scuba on Maui
One scuba diving company that does a fine job is 5 Star Scuba on Maui. They bill themselves as 'Maui's Resort Diving Specialists' because they operate from locations at seven of Maui's top resorts. They offer introductory classes and dives, dives for certified divers and Open Water Certification Classes.
