An important message emphasized to guests is to respect and protect the environment. To that end, Atlantis is proud of their contribution to Hawaii’s marine conservation via developing artificial reefs.

"Your PRIVATE alternative for ocean activities on Maui" If going out on a large diesel burning boat isn't your ideal way of experiencing Maui's marine environment, perhaps we are! At Hawaiian Paddle Sports we'll keep you away from the large crowds and thus not disturb the marine life we are visiting. Choose from SUP (Stand Up paddleboard), Ocean Kayaks or a Hawaiian Outrigger Canoe to get you there! We offer Surf Lessons also :) |
