Can I take the tour in the opposite direction?

No, this tour can only be done clockwise around the island.

Can I swim at the beaches on this tour?

Yes, but it depends when you’re traveling. In the summer, the waves are generally calmer and safe for swimming. However, in the winter (October through March) waves can be extremely rough and we recommend you avoid swimming during this time. Always use your best judgement and please note there is only one beach with lifeguards on this tour and that’s at DT Fleming Beach.

Loved everything about the app. The guide was priceless. No way we would have had nearly as much fun. Get it.

John Darcy | March 2021
Absolutely necessary. Great app told us everything helped us relax and enjoy one our best days on maui we were worried we left late and the app helped us relax and triage our trip. It gave is great options and really told us what was essential and the stories of king kamehameha on the way back were perfect with history that was fun but gave us a respect and better understanding of hawaii. This is the best
