"Keen to see turtles? Head to Turtle Town in Makena Bay, just south of Wailea, where Hawaiian Paddle Sports runs private canoe tours through the bay and its reefs. In addition to turtle sightings and snorkel time, you’ll learn to launch and anchor the canoes; all guides are also certified marine naturalists, and can tell you exactly what types of fish and turtles you're seeing and impart history lessons about the island and its canoe culture. All equipment is provided, and reservations are required." - Juliana Shallcross
