About

Start your morning with a paddle in the beautiful Makena Bay where you will enjoy the "Honu" (Green Sea Turtle) and other reef life. We paddle the bay area enjoying some snorkeling and unencumbered views of Haleakala, Molokini and the Makena area. After your two mile paddle, we will land and your Hiking guide will transport you to a lush valley where you can hike to the waterfalls. Time allows for a quick refreshing dip into the pools if you desire. Fun, easy and safe this is great for families and couples.
