What To Expect

Papalaua Wayside Park

Make your way to palm-fringed Papalaua Beach in west Maui, less than 10 miles (16 km) south of Lahaina town, and meet your experienced kayak guides for a safety briefing. Learn paddling techniques on shore and then settle into a single or double kayak. A guide helps you launch as you take off for the remote shores and sea cliffs in a spectacular coastal area known as ‘the Pali.’ During your 4-hour Maui kayaking tour, paddle toward the Pali lighthouse and enjoy water views of rugged shoreline and jagged cliffs rarely seen by visitors. You'll stop for snacks and refreshments, and spend time snorkeling at a couple of secluded snorkeling sites that boast excellent ocean visibility and include expansive coral reefs teeming with tropical marine life. Then continue paddling along this scenic shoreline where verdant cliffs lead into the water. Your guides point out the diverse flora, showcasing Maui’s natural splendor that hovers over white-sand beaches. This small-group activity, with a paddling distance is approx. 4.0 miles, is best suited for those who are in good physical condition and enjoy a longer paddle.

Had a great time on our kayaking adventure. We saw too many whales to count. Some were breaching and some swimming along with their mama. Saw manaray, turtles and many tropical fish. The most difficult part of the trip was getting back in the kayak after we snorkeled, but I did it. I’m a grandma so the younger ones probably wouldn’t have a problem with this.

There was high surf on the day we were initially supposed to go kayaking, but the staff was very flexible and rescheduled us for another day. We went kayaking with Matt Hudson, and we had a private tour since no one else signed up for that same day (we went during the off season). Again, I appreciated that the company was flexible didn't cancel our tour. There were only 2 of us. Matt was a great guide. We are new to kayaking, and he was very helpful. We also purchased the pictures. Along with our pictures from that day, Matt also included his best pictures ever. Those were a lot of fun to see, too.

My husband and I had a great time. He is experienced at snorkeling but I have never been able to do it. But this time it was explained in a way I was able to snorkel and it was so wonderful. Had such a good time, would definitely recommend this excursion if you have the opportunity to go.
