South Maui Turtle Reef Discovery

What your day looks like

Kayak, snorkel, and discover the wild sea turtles on this 3-hour tour, 1 snorkel stop introductory adventure at Makena in South Maui. You'll enjoy small groups while snorkeling in crystal clear waters that are almost 80 degrees, all set against the backdrop of the stunning West Maui mountains and Haleakala. Ask around, and you'll find that our Discovery tour is one of the few must-do activities on the island. It will leave you with lasting memories of Maui fun and adventure. At the end of the Discovery tour, enjoy some wonderful shoreline snacks and beverages! We always recommend that "big eaters" pack some additional rations if they are so inclined. As long as your kids are aged 5 or above you can bring them along to participate in all the fun! By the same token, however, don't make the mistake of thinking this is a just a kiddie trip. The trip is primarily designed for everyone to enjoy - a simply more laid back style, kayak snorkel combination adventure. The whole family is able to come as we have kayaks that can hold 1, 2 or even 3 people if the 3rd person is a child seated between adults. On the Discovery we will see tons of turtles, beautiful tropical fish in a stunning array of colors, perhaps some dolphins and in the Winter we're also joined by the Humpback Whales down from Alaska. All of the underwater life is framed by beautiful, calm and warm indigo waters that surround the Hawaiian Islands, and are particularly lovely in the Ukumehame and Makena regions where the Discovery tours takes place. Our small staff of guides carries years of experience and they are the best in the business, bar none. They'll give you instruction on correct paddling and snorkeling techniques and be right in the water alongside you all day. Throughout your time with us, they'll entertain you with stories, legends and local knowledge all delivered with the charm, energy and charisma that only our staff offers. This is their full time job and many of our guests come back each year from places as far away as Japan and England just to get in the water with our guides again. We guarantee that kayaking and snorkeling with Maui Eco Tours will be one of, if not the one single best highlight of your entire Hawaiian vacation.
