More information:
Time: Our tour runs daily and begins at 7am. It is essential you arrive on time. We know it’s early but it’s the best time of day for good conditions for your tour! The three-hour tour includes meet up, kayak prepping, fish talk, and launching. Once on the water, you will paddle over several reefs, and enjoy the beautiful Maui scenery. If you choose, there is an optional snorkel portion of the tour. You may wish to get out of the kayaks to have a closer look at some incredible marine life. The snorkel portion of the tour runs for approximately 45 minutes. You have the option to either snorkel, stay in your kayak anchored up to the rest of the kayaks and chill out or you can paddle around the snorkel area.
About you: We wanted to create an unforgettable experience for you and your family! We invite ages 3 and above to join us on this clear kayak adventure. Each participant will need to be able to walk out into knee deep water to enter the kayak but once launched you can enjoy the world below you without getting in and out of the kayak. Please note that tours cannot end earlier than intended if a child wants to return early, due to there only being one tour guide. No swimming or kayak experience is needed to enjoy this excursion.
Weight limit: Because of the nature of our boats, the maximum individual weight limit is 220 lbs and maximum tandem weight limit is 420 lbs. The individual weight limit of 220lbs still applies to a tandem kayak. If someone weighs over 220 lbs in your group, we do have one option for them. We have one non-clear kayak available with a weight limit of 270 lbs. However, this kayak needs to be reserved ahead of time as there is only one available. If you have any questions about our weight distribution, please give us a call or text before booking +1 808 463 1703. If you book before calling and a cancellation is necessary, a 5% service charge will be deducted from your refund to cover processing fees.
What to bring: You should bring as little as possible. Reef-safe sunscreen, sunglasses, hat, rash guard or quick dry top and an adventurous spirit!
