Paddle Maui’s clear coastal waters on a private Turtle Town tour, with beginner-friendly instruction, sea turtle sightings, and photos included.

About this tour

Glide across clear water along Maui’s dramatic southern coast on a private stand-up paddleboarding tour in Turtle Town. With an experienced guide beside you, take in rugged lava cliffs, coastal sea caves, colorful coral reefs, and views of the volcano and neighboring islands.

New to paddleboarding? Your guide starts with an introductory lesson in the calm, shallow, protected waters of Makena Bay. Most guests are up and paddling within 30 minutes. Then head along the coastline, keeping an eye out for green sea turtles and the rich marine life below. The 120-minute outing welcomes beginner, intermediate, and experienced paddlers, and includes paddleboard equipment, USCG-certified life jackets, instruction, and a digital photo package.

This Maui stand-up paddleboarding tour meets at Makena Landing Park. Park inside the yellow gates and walk south along Makena Road for about three minutes toward Honoiki Street, where you’ll find your guide. Choose a private outing for a relaxed way to explore Turtle Town from the water.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 309 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 9.6. Top 1% in Maui means it ranks in the top 1% of tours in Maui by this score.
