About this tour
Explore Maui’s underwater world on a guided sea scooter tour from Kapalua Bay, where white sand and rocky points frame a reef rich with marine life. This 180-minute Maui sea scooter guided tour pairs the ease of a Yamaha 350LI scooter with a closer look at tropical fish and sea turtles, weather permitting.
After a safety briefing and equipment instructions, set out with provided snorkel gear and glide across the reef at speeds of up to 3.7 mph. Along the way, learn to recognize coral bleaching, coral disease, and invasive marine species. The tour also supports reef monitoring in partnership with the Hawaii Coral Institute, inviting guests to help leave the reef better than they found it. Shark Bands and reef-safe mineral sunscreen are provided.
Arrive 30 minutes early at the Napili meeting point, ready to swim. Bring a towel and your own GoPro if you’d like to capture the outing; transportation is not provided. Join this Maui sea scooter guided tour for an active, educational way to experience Kapalua Bay’s marine life.

How the score works and rating distribution in Maui
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 8.0. Top 28% in Maui means it ranks in the top 28% of tours in Maui by this score.
