Kayak Whale Watch & Snorkel Adventure
Join us for the Ultimate Maui Morning! A winter exclusive expedition that combines two of Maui's best experiences into one 4-hour journey from the Moana to the Kai. We will paddle out into deep to search for Humpback whales where you never know what we're going to experience as we share the morning with the gentle giants. After our whale encounter, we'll paddle back toward the shoreline to snorkel the stunning volcanic reefs of Makena Landing, where we will swim with Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles and tropical reef fish.

When you book with Tropical Guides, you're going out with the person whose reputation is on the line every single day. Unlike the "cookie-cutter" tours that follow the same rigid routine regardless of the water, I use my 25 years of professional guiding experience to adapt our route based on the day's conditions. You get my full attention and a high-quality, flexible experience that ensures we're always in the best spots for clarity and marine life.

Your memories shouldn't be an "add-on." While most tours charge an extra $25 per person for a photo package, I provide a full, high-resolution digital gallery for Free. For a family of four that's $100 savings right out of the gate. I handle the professional shots so you can stay fully present in the moment.
