4 Hour Makena Turtle Kayak & Snorkel

On the morning of your tour, we will meet at the designated Makena meeting point and have a brief intro. Next, we'll set everyone up with a life jacket, paddle, kayak, snorkel, mask, fins, and dry bag. Before we hit the water well start with a brief on-land tutorial which will take you through the basics of kayaking, some pointers on paddling technique, rules and regulations, and a rough plan of our itinerary for the morning. We should be heading into the water around 7:45 am. We'll jump into our kayaks and push out into the ocean. During whale season we'll paddle straight out into the channel to look for whales. If it's summer, we'll focus on paddling through areas where green sea turtles and dolphins usually hang out. Keep your eyes open! Then we'll paddle out to the reef to find an excellent place to snorkel. We will drop anchor nearby and tie all the kayaks together so we can have a quick chat about what to expect on the guided snorkel tour. Then its masks on, fins on and into the water for your guided snorkel safari! Watch out for butterfly fish, octopus, urchins and a variety of rays. After our first snorkeling session, well jump back into the kayaks for a group debrief and a snack of delicious fresh Hawaiian pineapple. Then well start paddling again, stopping at a different spot for another snorkeling tour. Once we jump back onto the kayaks its time for a quick debrief before we commence paddling back to the start point where your tour will conclude.
