Top Maui Food Tours

Most Maui snorkeling tours use boats with limited visibility of what's directly beneath, and shore-based snorkeling at Turtle Town requires walking gear over loose rock to reach the water. This small-group tour uses clear-bottom kayaks to paddle over the reef with views of the water below, with snorkeling gear included for in-water sessions among the turtles, manta rays, and tropical fish at the reef.

Most Maui visitors default to beach-area restaurants serving mainland American food, sushi, or fusion—the spots actually serving traditional Hawaiian cuisine are spread across the island in places tourists don't typically navigate to. This food tour links seven Hawaiian food locations across one day with multiple tastings, including poi (taro paste), kalua pig (slow-roasted pork), and laulau (pork in taro leaves), plus locally brewed beers and desserts.

Leave the crowds of Ka’anapali Beach behind and step onto a premium sunset dinner cruise, where Maui’s coastline sets the stage for an unforgettable evening.
