Best Snorkeling on Maui

Meet at start point

Local take from MauiBookIt

Best for families and first-time paddlers who want an easy way to explore Olowalu Reef without committing to a snorkel-heavy trip. The clear kayaks are stable and snorkeling is optional, but the floor can cloud with sand/water. Skip it if seeing lots of marine life is the main goal.

Overview

Paddle out on a guided tour over majestic coral heads in search of Maui's vast array of sea life. The bottom of the clear kayak magnifies the reef and all of the creatures below you. Pontoon attachments make the kayaks almost impossible to tip and impossible to sink. All tours are small and intimate with only 10 guests per guide. Fun for the whole family. Beginners welcome. From December to April you can expect to see the Humpback Whales that migrate here for breeding. As a premium tour company you can expect the best quality equipment. Our kayaks were recently manufactured. Life vests are sized to the guest. Rash guards, sunscreen and dry bags are provided at no extra cost. Our guides are CPR trained, passionate about conservation and have a deep understanding of the flora and fauna you will encounter while on your tour. We are the only kayaking for charity company on Maui. Every seat booked helps support UHMC!
