About this tour
Paddle out from Olowalu Beach and discover Maui’s reef-rich coastline on a guided kayak and snorkel adventure. This three-hour outing pairs time on the water with a chance to explore beneath the surface, where Hawaiian green sea turtles may be seen.
Your professional guide leads the experience along Olowalu’s long, continuous reef. Kayak and snorkeling equipment are provided, along with water, snacks, and light refreshments, so you can focus on the scenery and the sea. The tour welcomes a range of fitness levels, though it is not recommended for travelers with poor cardiovascular health. Children must be accompanied by an adult, and each participant must weigh no more than 250 lbs.
Meet at 8:00 am at Olowalu Beach, near Highway 30, Mile Marker 14. Check in at the white Ford Ranger 4x4 with the red, white, and blue kayak trailer, and bring non-toxic, reef-safe sunscreen. With a professional guide and a small-group cap of 15, this Maui kayak and snorkel tour offers an inviting way to experience Olowalu from both above and below the water. Reserve your place and set out along the coast.

How this score is calculated
This tour scores 4.38 on Viator and 4.62 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 4.7.
