South Maui Whale Watch & Snorkel
Makena Whale Watch & Snorkel by Kayak
A Must-Do Whale Watch & Snorkeling Experience in Maui!During whale season, our Turtle Reef Discovery activity becomes our Whale Watch tour! This is a really inspiring whale-watching trips in Maui! There is nothing like viewing a Humpback Whale from ocean level in a kayak, it’s a breathtaking experience! Whales seem to appreciate the quietness of a kayak compared to a boat and they tend to approach us more. (Of course, we don’t approach them, they approach us!!).
This is one of our more popular south Maui whale watching tours during whale season, and we’ll make sure to sneak in some snorkeling time with the sea turtles.

Frequently Asked Questions
All kayaks used are the sit on top variety. There are stable which makes them perfect for snorkeling – easy to get in and out. We have singles and double kayaks available. Cockpit boats, or sit inside kayaks are not used here on Maui commercially.
