Description

Experience Maui with a family and Coast Guard veteran-owned crew that puts safety, personal attention, and a genuine connection to the island first. Two of our four guides grew up on Maui, bringing local knowledge and a firsthand love of the ocean to every tour. With just eight guests per guide, we keep groups small for a more personal experience on the water.

Paddle a clear-bottom kayak over the beautiful reefs and lava formations of Makena’s Turtle Town, where you can see the underwater world beneath you. Then enjoy an optional snorkel in the ocean, included in your tour. Look for Hawaiian green sea turtles, tropical fish, and other marine life as your guide leads you to great spots to explore.

Our early-morning tour runs from 7:00 to 10:00 AM, taking advantage of typically calmer ocean conditions before the trade winds pick up. Enjoy spectacular views of Haleakalā, the West Maui Mountains, Molokini, and neighboring islands. During winter, you may also spot humpback whales visiting Maui’s waters.

We love sharing our beautiful Maui home and can’t wait to welcome you for a memorable ocean adventure!
