COVID POLICIES
We are committed to the highest sanitation standards and routinely clean our vessels throughout the trip. Staff will routinely remind guests to use our sanitizer stations, wash hands frequently and remain socially distanced, even during sightseeing and wildlife viewing.
Masks must be worn throughout the journey except while eating, drinking and snorkeling. Additional exceptions apply to children younger than two years of age.
Seats are pre-assigned to ensure proper distancing from other guests. We encourage guests to remain in their assigned section throughout the cruise. Food and drink services have been modified to limit contact and minimize the potential transmission of germs or viruses.
To further limit unnecessary contact and exposure to others, we suggest guests bring their own snorkel equipment on snorkel cruises if possible. For guests who need to borrow snorkel equipment, our gear is thoroughly sanitized after every use. - Restrictions:
We do not "swim with dolphins" on this tour. Maui County laws do not allow it.
Use of any full-face snorkel masks are not allowed on Pacific Whale Foundation activities due to safety concerns.
