Turtle Town Clear Kayak & Snorkel Adventure

A Window to the Sea

Experience the reef like never before in our premium 100% clear kayaks. This isn't just a paddle; it's a front row seat to the underwater world from the comfort of your seat. As we glide over coral gardens, the clear hull acts as a giant magnifying glass, revealing the vibrant life beneath you before you even put your mask on. It's the perfect way to Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles while enjoying the stunning views of the South Maui coastline.


Once we drop anchor it's time to jump in the water. This is your chance to be immersed in the natural habitat of the Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle while we explore a local 'turtle cleaning station,' a specific area of the reef where turtles gather to have their shells cleaned by small reef fish. Seeing this interaction firsthand is magic. Whether we're watching a turtle have its shell cleaned or spotting local fish tucked into the coral, you will be right in the middle of their world.


Throughout the entire adventure-from your first look through the clear kayak to your final turtle encounter-I am documenting your experience. As an owner-operator, I want you to be fully present in the moment, not stuck behind the lens. I'll capture high-resolution photos of you in the clear kayaks and underwater with the marine life, providing you with a professional photo package at no extra cost. Delivered the same day. These memories are my gift to you for supporting a local business.

Kayak whale watching tour in Maui

The Ultimate Maui Morning: Kayak Whale Watch & Snorkel

One Tour. Two Epic Experiences!

 Skip the crowded "cattle boats" and join a local owner-operator for the most intimate ocean experience on Maui. Why choose between seeing whales and exploring the reef when you can do both in one morning?


From Mid-December to the end of March the Maui waters become a sanctuary. We start our morning scanning the horizon for the majestic Kohola (Humpback Whales). Because we are in a quiet, low-profile kayak, we don't have the engine noise of big boats-allowing us to truly hear the whales as they spout nearby. If you are lucky, you may even get to hear their songs rising up from the ocean. You aren't just a spectator; you are part of their peaceful world, experiencing the magic of these giants in a quiet, intimate setting.


Once we have shared some time with the whales, we'll paddle closer to shore to explore the vibrant reefs of South Maui. This is our chance to be immersed in the natural habitat of the Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle (Honu). We'll explore a local 'turtle cleaning station,' a specific area of the reef where turtles gather to have their shells cleaned by small reef fish. Whether we're watching a turtle get its shell cleaned or spotting tropical fish tucked into the coral, it's all about the quiet magic of being in their world.


Throughout the entire morning-from the first whale to the last turtle-I am documenting your experience. As an owner-operator, want you to be fully present in the moment, not stuck behind a lens. I'll capture high-resolution photos of your adventure on the water and under it, providing you with a professional photo package at no extra cost. These memories are my gift to you for supporting a local business.
