The kayak is what makes this one different — you arrive at the reef by your own paddle, not by boat or from the shore. From Olowalu, glide along the West Maui coastline with Lāna'i, Moloka'i and Kaho'olawe on the horizon, then slip into the water at a turtle cleaning station where Hawaiian green sea turtles come to rest. Your handpicked local guide looks after everything, and in whale season, December to April, humpbacks may surface and breach around the kayaks. Small groups, an unhurried pace, and turtles guaranteed — Turtle Guarantee: if you don't see turtles on your tour, you're welcome to join any of our other activities free of charge.
