Snorkel gear, life jackets and snacks are included; photo packages cost extra. 4.91 from 634 reviews at €120 per person for 3h. In our comparison: #8 of 19 in Kayak & Paddleboard Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below). ## Overview Experience Maui with a family and Coast Guard veteran-owned crew that puts safety, personal attention, and a genuine connection to the island first. Two of our four guides grew up on Maui and bring local knowledge and a firsthand love of the ocean to every tour. We keep groups small, with just eight guests per guide, so you can enjoy a more personal experience on the water. Paddle a clear-bottom kayak over the shallow reefs and lava formations of Makena’s Turtle Town, then hop in for the included, optional snorkel. Look for sea turtles, tropical fish, and other marine life as your guide leads you to great spots to explore. Beat the trade winds with our 7–10 AM tour, when ocean conditions are calmest. From the water, take in views of Haleakalā, the West Maui Mountains, Molokini, and nearby islands. During winter, you may also spot humpback whales in the sanctuary. ## Before you book - Meeting point: Meet up is at Makena Landing Park. - Starts 07:00: one departure a day - Food included: see what is included **Pickup:** No hotel pickup: everyone meets at the start point ## Key facts - Price: from €120 per person - Duration: 3h - Rating: 4.91/5 from 634 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Likely to sell out - Operator: Ohana Ocean Adventures - Group: Shared tour - Guide languages: English - Start times: 07:00 - Booking: mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-11-07 ## Reviews 4.91 from 634 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 98% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 621 of 634. - 5 stars: 603 (95%) - 4 stars: 18 (3%) - 3 stars: 4 (1%) - 2 stars: 6 (1%) - 1 star: 3 (0%) ## What's included - Snacks are pre-packaged.
