Step by Step
Experience the magic of Maui's south shore with this kayak tour of Makena Turtle Reef, one of Hawaii's most spectacular marine ecosystems. From your starting point at Makena Landing, you'll glide gently over the turquoise waters of a volcanic bay rich in history and biodiversity.
The trip covers between 2.5 and 4 km (1.5 to 2.0 miles) along the coast and is designed for all levels of experience, from beginners to regular paddlers. Your guide will explain fascinating details about the natural and cultural environment, while you enjoy unforgettable views of the Haleakala volcano.
The highlight of the tour is the chance to snorkel among tropical fish and Hawaiian green turtles, a unique experience that connects you with the natural beauty of the Pacific. There is also free time for swimming if you prefer to stay on the surface.
