Who We Are

Banyan Tree Adventures, a family-owned and operated business, offers unforgettable snorkeling, sightseeing, and whale-watching tours from Olowalu Beach along Maui's west side, with a focus on fun and eco-sustainability. At Banyan Tree we care for the island and the waters of Maui Nui and deliver mindful experiences for our guests. We also take our environmental responsibility seriously, striving to inspire pono (righteous) solutions for healthier coral reefs, oceans, and the planet. By sharing our passion for the environment and Hawaiian history, our guests leave with treasured memories of stunning landscapes and marine life, coupled with a deeper appreciation for sustainability and the rich cultural heritage of the area.

Banyan Tree Adventures’s Mission is to provide memorable marine experiences to visitors of Maui. The underlying mission is to educate and share with adventurers about the marine life of Maui Nui. Guests will be kayaking off Olowalu beach in West Maui. The location is ideal for whale watching, snorkeling, fishing and enjoying the scenery of Maui Nui.

The Banyan Tree, known for its extensive growth and long lifespan, holds deep symbolism and significance in many cultures. It’s ability to withstand the test of time (and fire) and thrive in diverse conditions is reminiscent of our own resilience in the face of adversity. Its roots, reaching out in all directions, mirror the paths we carve through the sea, always exploring, always growing. We are not simply guiding people through the waters, we are sharing the strength and resilience of our community, embodied in the symbol of the Banyan Tree.

We hope, with every pedal stroke and every story shared, we are planting seeds of hope and resilience, paving the way for a brighter future.

A hui hou, Mark
