Paddle Maui’s sunset coastline, snorkel among sea turtles and reef fish, and watch for humpback whales during whale season.
About this tour
Watch Maui’s coastline turn gold as you paddle into the evening on a Wailea sunset kayak and snorkel tour. This 120-minute outing pairs a guided coastal paddle with a snorkeling stop, offering a memorable way to experience the island from the water.
Follow the shoreline by kayak, then slip into the ocean to look for Hawaiian green sea turtles and tropical reef fish. During whale season, keep an eye out for humpback whales breaching, tail slapping, or spouting offshore. Kayaks, paddles, life jackets, and a personal guide are provided, and the small-group experience is designed to feel relaxed and welcoming for beginners and experienced paddlers alike.
Plan to arrive two hours before sunset for gear fitting, a safety overview, and snorkel instructions. Meet at Makena Landing Park, using that name in your GPS, and look for the white van with a kayak trailer beyond the restrooms and outdoor showers. Set out for a Wailea sunset kayak and snorkel tour and take in Maui’s ocean scenery at its most colorful.

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.
