Clear Bottom Kayak Rental Maui | See Marine Life Safely

What’s the experience like?

The first thing I noticed was how calm the water looked that morning—just a gentle breeze, nothing too wild. We met our drop-off guy right by the palms near Kamaole Beach Park III, and he gave us a quick run-through on how to use the clear bottom kayak. The outrigger floats made it feel way more stable than any other kayak I’ve tried before—no wobbly moments, even when we climbed in from the shore with our sunscreen still sticky on our arms.

Paddling out, you can see straight down through the hull—reef fish darting around, flashes of yellow tangs, and sometimes a sea turtle gliding by if you’re lucky. There’s this salty tang in the air and you hear just the soft slap of water against plastic. It’s not a guided tour, so you get to choose your own pace and route. Our guide (well, more like gear drop-off expert) suggested sticking close to the reef edge for better visibility and safer waters—good advice if you’re new to ocean kayaking or just want to take it easy.

We spent about two hours drifting along, stopping whenever something caught our eye below. The kayaks are built for safety—they won’t flip easily thanks to those stabilizers—but they’re still light enough that you can maneuver without much effort. Just keep an eye on the weight limit; they’re strict about it for good reason. When we were done, we just called for pick-up and grabbed shave ice from a cart nearby while waiting. Super easy day out on Maui’s coast.
