About this tour

Set out from Olowalu Beach for a West Maui whale watching and reef snorkeling kayak adventure, where the coastline and vibrant marine life take center stage. A naturalist guide leads the outing and shares insights into the waters of Maui Nui.

Pedal-powered kayaks let you move across the water with your hands free, making it easier to take in the scenery and focus on the experience. The kayaks are designed to be easy to board, control, and disembark. Along the way, look for whales and explore the reef with snorkeling equipment provided. The experience lasts 180 minutes and is best suited to travelers with a moderate level of physical fitness.

Meet on the makai, or water, side of Highway 30 at mile marker 14, near the green Jeep Gladiator or green cone. Optional drone video is available for an additional $50. Join this West Maui kayak adventure to experience the coast and its marine life from the water.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 1 review. 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 7.1.
