About this tour

Paddle into the clear waters off Maui’s West Shore, then slip beneath the surface for a closer look at the coastline. This 150-minute Maui Kayak and Snorkel Tour welcomes beginners and experienced paddlers alike, with a professional guide offering beachside safety and paddling instruction.

Set out in a late-model ocean touring kayak with a small group of no more than 10 paddlers per guide. The route covers approximately 1.5 miles, with around 45 minutes set aside for snorkeling. Life jackets and snorkeling equipment are provided, along with light refreshments. The launch site may change at check-in, depending on weather and conditions, so plan your transportation accordingly; taxis and rideshares are not recommended.

Meet at 7:00 a.m. at Ukumehame Beach Park and look for the pickup truck and kayak trailer. Tours run Monday through Friday, weather permitting. Choose this Maui Kayak and Snorkel Tour for an active, guided way to experience the West Shore from both above and below the water.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.60 from 109 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

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 5.9.
