Description

Kayak and Snorkel in Pali Seacliffs

Trade the beginner-friendly bays for something wilder. This tour heads toward the "Pali" — the towering, remote sea cliffs on Maui's south-facing coast. It's one of the more physically engaging routes on the island, and it rewards guests who want a longer, more adventurous day on the water. You'll paddle a longer distance than the introductory tours, with two separate snorkel stops along the way to explore the marine life tucked beneath the cliffs.

During the winter months, this stretch of coastline is also a favorite for spotting Humpback whales up close as they pass by on migration. The privacy of the route is part of what makes it special — no other tour combines this level of seclusion with access to such varied marine life.
This is also available as a private tour!
