Sunset/Glow Clear Kayak Tour – Olowalu

Clear Kayak Glow Tour at Olowalu Reef

The clear kayak glow tour at Olowalu Reef in Hawaii offers an unforgettable way to explore one of the state’s oldest reef systems. This 4-hour experience allows you to paddle over Olowalu reef, home to the fourth largest population of manta rays worldwide, while watching the sunset behind the island of Lanai from Maui’s waters.

During the tour, you will use stable, pontooned clear kayaks equipped with high-powered lights. After sunset, these lights illuminate the reef below, revealing a vibrant underwater world. You can observe millions of shrimp whose eyes sparkle like rubies, as well as squid, fish, nudibranchs, eels, octopus, and hundreds of jellyfish swimming safely beneath your kayak.

Included Gear and Amenities

Gabriel’s Ohana provides everything needed for the tour except your phone or GoPro. Included are white long-sleeved rash guards, life vests, glow sticks, bracelets and necklaces, headlamps, bananas, granola, fresh pineapple, purified water in sport bottles, dry bags, and free pictures. A dedicated person watches your car and valuables during the tour.

Unique Nighttime Marine Life Viewing

After anchoring, lights are dropped to attract plankton, which manta rays feed on, increasing the chance to see these majestic creatures dine beneath your kayak. The tour also offers stargazing and storytelling about Maui’s constellations and mythology, enhancing the overall experience.

This clear kayak glow tour is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to witness Hawaii’s marine life transition from day to night in a safe, dry, and comfortable way without the need for wetsuits.
