A complete experience.

Kayak and snorkel the sensational central Maui coastline for over 4 hours on the intermediate Seacliffs adventure.

This is uber-private Maui snorkeling where we tuck in along the beautiful South facing seacliffs that tower over the coral gardens below.

Also we see the Humpback Whales up close during the Winter months on the Seacliffs kayaking tour!

Advanced and adults only.

Paddling distance can be over 3 miles and we snorkel with the varied tropical marine life 2 different times! No other tour combines privacy and access to marine life in the way our Seacliffs tour does.

Due to the longer nature of the tour, we do limit the Seacliffs to those aged 12 and over only.

If you have younger kids, please check out the Discovery tour which departs from Olowalu and Makena.  We'll get going at 7:00am and continue all the way until around 12 noon.

Over the course of 5 hours we'll snorkel 2 times, all in a setting of privacy that you only get with Maui Eco Tours kayak snorkel excursions.  

Finally, we wrap up with a light, healthy, island style lunch of grilled chicken, fresh fruit and juices, all enjoyed right along the sand.

Additionally, vegetarian and vegan selections are available by request.

Guides are the difference.

Our guides will show you all of the underwater spectacles themselves, as we are the only snorkeling outfitter that always gets right in the water with you.

They anchor the boats, gear you up, point out marine life and regail you with tales of yesteryear and Hawaiian legend all through the tour.

Service is the difference and we pride ourselves on personal attention and first class service.

Tread lightly.

Unlike the big gas guzzling power boats that visit the Molokini, Kapalua and Makena coastlines, we'll show you all the underwater highlights and above water scenery in a completely environmentally friendly way.

Our kayaks are a zero emissions way to see nature, don't disturb the marine life or their environment and allow us to access some unique spots that you normally can't get to. Let us show you how we do it at Maui Eco Tours.

We guarantee you'll love it!

A Winter treat.

Joining us December through April? Expect to see the stunning, gigantic, humpback whales like you never dreamed! They're incredible!

On days when they are out there, we poll the group and generally will head out to get a much closer view of the prehistoric beauties.  

They come down for the Winter to give birth and it's a really unique sight to see the adults with the new borns!

More dedicated whale watching can be had on our Whales kayak snorkel adventure.

Turtles in the coral gardens.

Come see the majestic green sea turtles!  We see them everyday and get up close and personal to these beauties! Go face to face with 'em!  Some of the clearest waters in Hawai'i are located in the coral gardens of Maui.  On the Seacliffs Explorer we show you all the stunning underwater sights of Maui.

From eels to octopus to small reef sharks, you simply never know what cool things we are going to run across.

Adults only.

If you don't have kids, or perhaps you are just getting a break from your own, it's nice to not be around other people's little ones. Come relax with other adults.  

For our purposes, that means nobody under the age of 12 should be with us.  This allows us to keep a fun pace and a mature setting that's entertaining for all.

Beautiful Hawaiian scenery.

This is what Hawai'i is all about! Beautiful sunrises and sunsets, dramatic volcano backdrops, lush foliage and warm pineapple breezes!

All the while, we're talking more than 3 miles of paddling here! Come get your groove on, work up a sweat and get refreshed at each of the snorkeling stops!

Let's hit it.

We like to get fired up early, as the earlier we get on the water, the better the conditions and the more wildlife we'll see.

You'll meet us onsite at Papalaua Park, just off Highway 30 for a 7:00 am check-in at Mile Marker 11.5.

Once you arrive we'll get you outfitted with all the latest snorkeling equipment, paddling life jackets and drybags to hold your small valuables (wallet, car keys, cameras, etc).

 

All the gear you'll need is included. Once all guests are outfitted, our guides take you through a comprehensive 15-20 minute safety and instructional briefing that covers everything from proper paddling techniques and snorkeling tips to safety reminders and techniques on getting in and out of our kayaks at the snorkeling stops.

Launch time!

Launching at Papalaua is generally quite nice, as the beach is sandy and flat. Each 2 person kayak paddles out past the small rolling surf and waits for the guide to rendezvous with you.

Once everyone is on the water and gathered together, the guide will lead you to the first of our 2 snorkeling stops. Generally each paddling segment is about 20-30 minutes.

The entire Seacliffs tour features the dramatic backdrop of the 10,000 foot Haleakala Volcano in distance and of course, the central Maui seacliffs up close. As the sun crests the edge of the volcano, dramatic lighting begins to illuminate the clear snorkeling waters of coral gardens, directly below.

As we paddle from spot to spot, you'll see turtles on the surface, perhaps dolphins or whales in the distance all while enjoying a private atmosphere and getting some great exercise! In the Winter, the Seacliffs trip often gets detoured to check out the incredible Humpback Whales up close.

Can you feel the wonderful warm morning sun on your face as you paddle against phenomenal beauty, through 78 degree Hawaiian waters, breathing in the sweet sounds and scents of Maui?

Time to gear up and go!

At each of the two snorkeling locations, our guide will connect all the kayaks together and safely drop an anchor in a sandy patch so that everyone may relax and get their mask and fins on, and put their valuables in the drybags prior to entering the water.

Everyone who wants to, gets in the water and is free to snorkel on their own if they so desire. That said, the most fun will be had if you stay close to our guide in the water, as he'll be pointing out unique marine life, snapping underwater digital photos, and leading the way to the best regions along each reef.

On Seacliffs we'll be seeing tons of turtles, eels, octopus, a plethora of colorful tropical reef fish, and even the occasional small white tip reef shark.

Then it's time to eat...

We've exclusively partnered with a premier, owner operated catering company to provide a sensational island style snack lunch of grilled chicken skewers, fresh fruits and a selection of fruit juices.

Also, if you're a vegetarian, vegan or have any other special dietary needs, we've got you covered. Just give us at least 24 hours notice and we can make most any of your wishes come true! 

Our lunch selections are individually prepared and packaged each morning to ensure freshness and quality when it's time to eat.

Our offerings are beach snack lunch style, of a light to moderate quantity and provided complimentary on all of our trips, certainly including the Seacliffs tour.

We do recommend that "big eaters" pack some additional rations if they are so inclined, as space limits the physical quantity of our lunches. In addition, we also request that all of our guests bring a bottle of water for themselves, as hydration is always an important element to a fun day here on Maui.
