Nothing is quite as spectacular as Makena in south Maui.#

  • Our staff of full time guides will show you all of the underwater spectacles themselves, as we are the only snorkeling outfitter that guarantee our staff gets right in the water with you. They anchor the boats, gear you up, and provide a reef tour - pointing out marine life and share some tales of yesteryear and Hawaiian legend all through the tour. Service is the difference and we pride ourselves on personal attention and first class service.

Makena's stunning scenery#

  • In a completely environmentally friendly way, you'll experience the beauty of Makena Bay. Unlike the big snorkel boats, our kayaks have zero emissions, don't disturb the marine life or their environment and allow us to access some unique spots that you normally can't get to. It's a peaceful and beautiful way to start your day on Maui. Let us show you how we do it at Maui Eco Tours. We guarantee you'll love it!

Maui's best kayaking location is Makena#

  • Makena bay is a paddlers dream .... great ocean conditions, excellent reef systems, exceptional scenery all around. With Molokini in the distance, and the island of Kahoolawe as a backdrop, and miles and miles of beautiful ocean surrounding it all. Popular with SCUBA divers, SUP (Stand Up Paddlers), OC1 and kayak fisherman, this area has something for everyone. Did we mention turtles - the Hawaiian green sea turtle? This area is host to a very large population of "Hono" (local term for turtle) and they are a magnificant creature. They are everywhere here!
  • A very popular snorkeling destination, Makena is a gem found in South Maui that is our very favorite spot.
