Clear Kayak Tour with Pontoons - Olowalu, Maui

Overview

Paddle out on a guided tour over majestic coral heads in search of Maui's vast array of sea life. The bottom of the clear kayak magnifies the reef and all of the creatures below you. Pontoon attachments make the kayaks almost impossible to tip and impossible to sink. All tours are small and intimate with only 10 guests per guide. Fun for the whole family. Beginners welcome.

From December to April you can expect to see the Humpback Whales that migrate here for breeding.

As a premium tour company you can expect the best quality equipment. Our kayaks were recently manufactured. Life vests are sized to the guest. Rash guards, sunscreen and dry bags are provided at no extra cost. Our guides are CPR trained, passionate about conservation and have a deep understanding of the flora and fauna you will encounter while on your tour.

We are the only kayaking for charity company on Maui. Every seat booked helps support UHMC!

We had a great time on the chill ride with the transparent kayak and learned a lot about the island. After kayaking we went to snorkeling and had a lot of time left to find some awesome creatures. Sadly we weren‘t able to see some turtles :( The guys are lovely and really nice! We recommend the tour highly! Cheers from Switzerland

Although the trade winds and the rain kept us from being able to experience this activity, we appreciated the careful decisions that were made in order to insure our safety. We were looking forward to this excursion because of the wonderful reviews but were certainly appreciative that participant safety was the number one concern. We received a personalized phone call to check about rescheduling but unfortunately we were at the end of our vacation. We received our money back without any problem. We will definitely book this again next time!

What a kind and unexpected review. Thank you so much. We are always so disappointed when the weather does not cooperate but safety and quality of experience are very important to us. We would not want to waste anyone's precious and very limited vacation time. Hope you get the chance to visit again so we can give you some VIP treatment. Mahalo!

We had such a fun time kayaking and snorkeling with Gabriel’s Ohana! We spent part of our honeymoon in Maui and this was by far one of the greatest highlights of our trip. Thank you to Jason (the owner) and Joseph for taking us out into the ocean - we were fortunate enough to have beautiful, clear weather and calm oceans, ideal for kayaking and snorkeling. While kayaking, we heard amazing stories about the island’s history and really enjoyed getting to know Jason through his many funny personal anecdotes. In between kayaking and snorkeling, we shared a Maui gold pineapple - such a treat! It was our first time snorkeling and Jason and Joseph were there to guide us the entire time. They showed us some incredible wildlife, including big sea turtles, parrot fish, box fish, sea cucumbers, sea urchin (uni), a prickly starfish (forgot the name!), all kinds of beautiful and vibrant coral, and even an eagle ray! Jason’s son Gabriel looked after our belongings the entire time we were out in the ocean and we were so appreciative. They all showed us so much aloha, treated us like family, gave us many insider tips/food recommendations and we could not have asked for a better experience. I would highly recommend booking a tour with Gabriel’s Ohana!
