Maui Clear Kayak and Snorkel Tour at Olowalu
Overview
Family and Coast Guard veteran-owned with local Maui guides and just 8 guests per guide for a personal ocean adventure! Two of our four guides grew up on Maui and bring local knowledge and a firsthand love of the ocean to every tour.
Paddle a clear-bottom kayak over the shallow reefs at Olowalu, then hop in for the included, optional snorkel. Look for sea turtles, tropical fish, and other marine life as your guide leads you to stunning spots to explore.
Beat the trade winds with our 7–10 AM tour, when ocean conditions are calmest. From the water, take in views of Haleakalā, the West Maui Mountains, Olowalu Valley, and nearby islands. During winter, you may also spot humpback whales.
