Paddle a clear kayak off Olowalu at sunset, watch the reef glow after dark, and stargaze on a four-hour Maui adventure.

About this tour

As Maui’s sunset slips below the horizon, the ocean takes on a new glow. Set out from Olowalu in a clear kayak for a four-hour paddle that reveals the changing reef and opens up the night sky. This Maui Clear Kayak Tour at Sunset offers a distinctive view of the coast from the water.

Watch as underwater lights attract plankton, which may bring marine life such as jellyfish, squid, nudibranchs, and fish into view. Manta rays are possible, but sightings are not guaranteed. Along the way, stargaze and listen to stories of the island. Glow jewelry adds a festive touch, while a white boat light helps illuminate the route. Your gear includes a fitted life vest, rash guard, headlamp, and dry bag, with water and snacks provided. After returning to shore, enjoy fresh-cut, locally grown pineapple.

Meet at the Olowalu launch site on Highway 30 between mile markers 14 and 14.5. Choose this Maui Clear Kayak Tour at Sunset for a memorable way to experience the reef as day gives way to night.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 5 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 7.4. Top 47% in Maui means it ranks in the top 47% of tours in Maui by this score.
