About Maui Pacific Tours
Maui Pacific Tours is a Wailea-Makena, Hawaii–based tour operator specializing in outrigger canoe experiences along Maui’s South shores. The operator runs private and small-group paddling tours that combine Hawaiian paddling culture with marine wildlife viewing.
Trips include two-hour snorkel outrigger canoe tours from the Andaz and Grand Wailea, one-hour swim-with-the-turtles excursions, and two-hour whale-watch outings. Each tour departs from resort-adjacent beaches and focuses on close encounters with Hawaiian green sea turtles, colorful reef fish, and seasonal humpback whales.
Expert paddlers and guides lead each adventure, handling canoe operation, navigation, and guest briefings before water entry. Tours emphasize safety, respect for marine life, and a family-friendly pace suitable for a broad range of ages and swimming abilities.
Maui Pacific Tours uses traditional outrigger canoes for a stable, cultural paddling platform that allows guests to approach snorkeling sites and wildlife with minimal footprint. Private canoe charters provide an intimate setting for families and small groups seeking a more personal experience on the water.
Reservations are arranged per tour type and duration, with options for short turtle swims and longer snorkel or whale-watch trips. Guests can expect guided snorkeling with opportunities to see sea turtles and reef life during the warmer months, and whale-watching encounters in the humpback season.
Maui Pacific Tours focuses on delivering memorable, educational ocean outings rooted in Hawaiian paddling tradition and responsible wildlife viewing. Tours depart from Wailea-Makena resort beaches and operate along the South Maui coastline, with launches near the Andaz and Grand Wailea resort properties for families.
