This Maui kayaking and snorkel tour is a chance to experience the best of both worlds by pairing snorkeling with hiking! Kayak and snorkel off South Maui and the historic Makena coastline, before taking a guided, cultural hike through ancient Hawaiian ruins. This combo tour is the perfect way to experience the Maui outdoors, and a great way to explore the island—by land as well as by sea.
- Paddle along the Makena coastline
- Snorkel in Makena Bay
- Close encounters with marine life
- Guided nature hike through Old Hawaii to evocative ancient ruins
What To Expect
Your Maui kayak and snorkeling tour begins in the heart of Makena—a volcanic, historic section of coast that held numerous ancient villages. While paddling along the rocky coast, hear the tales of early explorers and their impact on Native Hawaiians, and keep an eye out for Hawaiian Green sea turtles as they swim and surface for air.
Once you reach a protected cove, link up the kayaks and splash in the water for the chance to snorkel with sea turtles, also passing through colorful schools of indigenous tropical fish.
After 2.5 hours of playing in the ocean, lace up your boots and take a hike through remnants of Old Hawaii. Walk through the site of Maui’s last lava flow from 220 years ago, and along with a native cultural guide, explore Hawaiian sites and ruins still dotted along the coast.
