A short, scenic paddle from Makena Landing along a lava coastline riddled with caves and arches, ending over the reef locals call Turtle Town. Guides raft the kayaks together while you snorkel with resident green sea turtles — we see them on better than nine trips in ten. Stable tandem kayaks, calm morning water, no experience needed.
