# Maui South Shore Premier Kayak and Snorkel Tour from Makena Beach

**Guidekin's take:** Paddle the Makena coastline in a single or double kayak, with guided snorkel stops along the way. Kayaks, snorkel gear, flotation devices and refreshments are included; the outing is not recommended for children ten and under. 4.81 from 73 reviews at €138 per person for 3h 30m.

In our comparison: #14 of 19 in Kayak & Paddleboard Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

Paddle. Snorkel. Meet a Turtle. 

Glide along the gorgeous Makena coastline, then slip into the water at a few guided snorkel stops and swim in a living aquarium. Rainbow-colored fish zip by like they’re late for something. Honu (green sea turtles) cruise past like they own the place. Spoiler: they do.

You’re in good hands. Our naturalist guides know this reef like their backyard, keep everyone safe, and point out the good stuff. First-timers, kids, and grandparents are all welcome. Gear and instruction are included, so just bring your sense of adventure.

Then enjoy an easy, mellow paddle back, tired in the best way and grinning ear to ear.

Highlights:

* Stunning Makena coastline
* Multiple guided snorkel stops
* Turtles and tropical fish
* Expert naturalist guides
* Family- and beginner-friendly

Spots fill fast, so book now. The turtles are waiting!
