Makena is well-known for having clear waters, incredible reefs, and ocean life everywhere!
In approximately 3.5 hours, we will get you acquainted with your kayak and snorkel gear, then get you out in our warm waters for spectacular snorkeling. Makena is also well known for our local green sea turtles, which are hard to miss. This is a great area for a Maui Kayak Tour.
During the winter months, North Pacific humpback whales travel to Maui’s warm waters to mate and have their calves. If whale watching is your priority, consider booking the company’s dedicated Ultimate Maui Whale Watch instead. See Maui Kayak Whale Watch Tours.
Aloha Kayaks Maui uses non-motorized kayaks and emphasizes sustainable tourism and ocean education, giving guests a low-impact way to explore Maui’s marine environment.
Are you closer to Lahaina, or do you want to snorkel from a catamaran out of Maalaea?

This kayak snorkel tour was in Makena and was one of those “we’re so glad we did this” mornings.
It’s about 3 hours, they get you set up with the kayaks, then you paddle out to calmer water and hop in to snorkel over the reef.
We saw a bunch of fish and a couple sea turtles (from a respectful distance), and the guide was super chill about helping the nervous people in our group.
Small negative: the first bit of paddling is more work than it looks, so if you’re not a morning person you might be huffing for a minute 😅 but once you’re in the water it’s totally worth it. I just wished I was warned about how much paddling it was going to be.

My arms are sore but it was worth it. We saw turtles and lots of fish.

This kayaking and snorkeling tour is something that I would highly recommend to anyone that loves to go snorkeling. Not only did I get to explore some beautiful locations but I also got to learn about Maui’s diverse ecology in an interactive way (our guide would show us creatures first hand and then explain about them). The guides were friendly and always willing to help .

The tour was an A+ in my book and I would do it again, or will do it again if I’m ever fortunate enough to find myself in Maui, Hawaii!

My kids loved your kayak tour! I was a little unbalanced at first because I’m just not that great early in the morning when it comes to the inner ear. It worked out once I got really moving. Loved seeing the bright-red pencil urchin!

I needed that! The peace of being on the water and getting to snorkeling on our own was pretty special. My son says it was his favorite part of our trip in Maui. Kayaking is definitely in my top 3 experiences from this time on your island.

This was really fun. Thank you for taking me! I’m going to see how much kayaks are back home for summertime. So neat snorkeling off a kayak. Thank you
