Paddle Olowalu’s coast with a small group, snorkel for sea turtles, and enjoy snacks, gear, and an included GoPro video.

About this tour

Trade crowded shorelines and noisy engines for a small-group paddle along Olowalu’s Maui coast. On this 4-hour Olowalu Maui kayak and snorkeling tour, a CPR-trained guide leads a party of 10 or fewer across clear waters, where you can take in views of Maui and nearby islands and look for marine life, including sea turtles. During whale season, you may also spot humpback whales from the water.

Snorkeling gear is provided, along with a life vest, reef-safe sunscreen, a long-sleeve rash guard, and a dry bag. Refuel with bottled water, granola, and pineapple, then take home an included GoPro video of the experience. The operator says there is no time limit, so the outing is designed to feel personal rather than rushed. Each booked seat also contributes $10 to the University of Hawaiʻi Maui College.

Meet on Highway 30 just past mile marker 14, across from the “Welcome to Olowalu” sign when heading west; look for the black Gabriel’s Ohana SUV and wooden trailer. Book your Olowalu Maui kayak and snorkeling tour for a close-up day on the water.

How this score is calculated

This tour scores 4.80 on Viator and 4.40 on GetYourGuide. Ratings on these sites cluster near the top of the 5-star scale, so we compare each one with all other ratings on the same site before combining them.

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 6.8.
