Overview

Paddle. Snorkel. Meet a Turtle.

Glide along the gorgeous Makena coastline, then slip into the water at a few guided snorkel stops and swim in a living aquarium. Rainbow-colored fish zip by like they’re late for something. Honu (green sea turtles) cruise past like they own the place. Spoiler: they do.

You’re in good hands. Our naturalist guides know this reef like their backyard, keep everyone safe, and point out the good stuff. First-timers, kids, and grandparents are all welcome. Gear and instruction are included, so just bring your sense of adventure.

Then enjoy an easy, mellow paddle back, tired in the best way and grinning ear to ear.

Highlights:

* Stunning Makena coastline
* Multiple guided snorkel stops
* Turtles and tropical fish
* Expert naturalist guides
* Family- and beginner-friendly

Spots fill fast, so book now. The turtles are waiting!
