Meet Ohana Ocean Adventures at Makena Landing Park for a three-hour morning tour with clear-bottom kayaks, reef viewing, and optional snorkeling. Guides such as Kyle, Curtis, Marc, and Michael share local marine knowledge while helping families spot turtles, fish, rays, and seasonal humpback whales.

“This was absolutely amazing! Our tour guide Mark was awesome and very knowledgeable and showed us a variety of locations and we saw a lot of turtles and fishes. The weather was wonderful and we were very pleased with everything. I highly recommend them and we will do this again with our daughter. Having a clear bottom kayak was a plus too!”

2.Clear Kayak Tour with Pontoons and Optional Snorkeling-Unlimited

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 224 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $134

Paddle clear-bottom kayaks across Olowalu’s reef with Jason, Gabriel, and their family team. Pontoons can add stability, and optional snorkeling brings you closer to turtles, fish, and coral. Rash guards, dry bags, sunscreen, water, snacks, and pineapple are included.

“The father son team were very nice and most accommodating. They really love what they do and it shows. The tour is a slow, descriptive paddle not too far off the shore. Beautiful scenery and very peaceful with occasional turtle poking it's head out of the water. One recommendation however for the owners: you really need better more cushioned seats for the kayaks. What you currently have was pretty uncomfortable for me personally. But overall a pleasant time and worth the money.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 100 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $130

Paddle clear kayaks from Makena Landing to a nearby reef, then snorkel among sea turtles and fish with guides such as Kris, Chris, or Macarena. The three-hour morning trip includes gear, bottled water, and a small group of no more than 10 people. Photos cost extra.

“I went with three friends and we had a fantastic time! One of us became very sea sick and she was not able to snorkel but our guide, Kris, did a great job making sure she was okay and that the group was able to enjoy their snorkel as well. Kris was very informative about the animals and coral we were looking at and allowed us to explore at our own pace. And we got to see multiple turtles!”
