About
Avoid the crowds! No combined parties...this private tour is designed specifically for you and your family and/or friends. Enjoy this fun, open air, naturally socially distanced activity in nature!
Scotty, owner and kayak tour guide, has been a guide on Maui since 2005 and will lead you on a leisurely paddle through Makena Bay along the beautiful coastline. On this PRIVATE kayak tour you will have the option to Kayak with Whales (during Maui's Whale Season) or stop at Turtle Town and snorkel with Hawaii’s endangered green sea turtles and view the colorful reef. Scotty will lead you away from the crowds, taking you to special spots. You may even see a Hawaiian Monk Seal! Scotty takes professional underwater photographs throughout your tour and will share the final photos with you! Makena Bay is known for its shallow well-lit reefs and calm morning conditions which makes it great for families with small children, first time and advanced ocean enthusiasts.
