All kayaking equipment is provided, including stable sit-on-top ocean kayaks, paddles, and personal flotation devices fitted before launch. This means you show up to Makena Landing with nothing but sunscreen on your skin and reef-safe at that — and the guides handle all the gear setup so you're not fumbling with equipment when a whale surfaces 50 yards off your bow.
A knowledgeable naturalist guide leads every tour, narrating whale behavior in real time and explaining what you're actually seeing — whether it's a breach, a pec slap, or a mother-calf pair logging at the surface. These aren't scripted spiels; guides answer questions mid-paddle and often share the kind of specific behavioral context — 'that male is escorting, watch him — that you'd never get from a boat tour PA system.Embark on an unforgettable adventure from Makena Bay on Maui’s sunny south shore!

All kayaking and snorkeling gear is provided, including sit-on-top ocean kayaks, paddles, life vests, masks, snorkels, and fins in multiple sizes. You show up to Makena Bay with your sunscreen and a dry bag for your phone — everything you need to actually get in the water and move through it is already waiting for you.
Expert local guides lead every segment of the tour, which matters far more than it sounds on paper. These are people who know exactly where the turtles tend to hang near the reef on a given tide, which section of the waterfall trail gets slippery after recent rain, and how to read the ocean conditions so you're always paddling with the current rather than against it.Join our premier south maui premier kayak & snorkel and discover why this is one...
All equipment and safety gear provided
Professional instruction and local knowledge includedMakena Landing, on Maui’s southern coast, offers a self-guided kayak rental for just $50. Launch...
Your rental includes a premium ocean kayak — the kind with a proper hull shape designed for open-water tracking, not the wobbly rec boats you'd find at a hotel lagoon. This matters practically because the currents along the Makena coastline can push you sideways, and a well-designed kayak means you spend your energy exploring, not correcting drift.
Paddles and basic safety gear are included with your rental, so you're not scrambling to source equipment on top of everything else. If you plan to snorkel once you reach a cove or turtle feeding spot, bring your own mask and fins — the rental doesn't cover snorkel gear, and you'll want it because the underwater visibility out here regularly hits 60-plus feet on calm mornings.Experience the ultimate in personalized ocean exploration with a private kayak tour tailored exclusively to...

All snorkel gear — mask, fins, and snorkel — is provided and fitted before you enter the water, so there's no need to haul your own equipment down to Makena Landing. The guides take time to actually adjust your mask seal and check fin sizing, which makes a real difference when you're trying to stay face-down for 90 minutes without a leak ruining the moment.
A knowledgeable naturalist guide accompanies the group throughout the entire snorkel, narrating what you're seeing and pointing out marine life beyond just the turtles — reef fish, coral species, and the occasional octopus tucked into a crevice. These aren't boat crew moonlighting as guides; they're people who swim these reefs routinely and can tell a feeding honu from a resting one by the way it moves.Glide across the calm, turquoise waters of Maui and experience the island’s breathtaking shoreline from a whole new point of view with our Maui Kayak Tours.
