Incredible time!
Reviewed by: CDF, 2021/04/18John was an amazing guide - he made our morning!! He gave a comprehensive overview of what to expect and safety protocols, making us feel at ease the entire time as new snorklers. He kept us entertained and laughing the whole trip. We saw two large turtles, lots of fish and coral, and several other interesting creatures. Would highly recommend this trip!

Reviewed by: kasing shum , 2015/05/28Kayaking is fun. We were able to pedal along the shore line and check out different view of the island. We were also able to spot a few turtle along the way and snorkel with them. Highly recommend to everyone.

Snorkel & Kayak with Picnic
Reviewed by: Lois, 2014/02/12A delightful small group of six experience. John was right on top of everything- He was knowledgable on how to use all the equipment and guided us to the best-ever reef for snorkeling.
We saw many whales and two even gently surfaced about 15 feet away from our kayak.
The reef was beautiful and very active with sealife- including giant turtles that hung around to greet us as we snorkled.
Refreshing fresh food picnic. Best deli-style turkey sandwhich ever!

Reviewed by: Ashley @ Treasure Travel, 2012/11/03Our guide Kaleo was really great! He led our snorkel, pointing out and educating us on all kinds of sea life. We saw turtles, an eagle ray, octopus, and lots of fish. The kayaking was fun, too!

Ok but not worth the cost
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2010/04/09Overall this could have been a much better experience if the activity was either longer or less expensive. Bascially we were out for under 2 hours. I did not feel that I got my money's worth. We paddled out to the channel then back in to snorkle and then came in. Sure the sights were great and our guide was wonderful, but for the price, this should have been 4 hour excursion. The location was really out of the way, but the area was excellant. We saw whales, turtles and lots of fish.

So much fun with whales.
Reviewed by: Yukiko Sagamihara, 2009/12/20My first time in Hawaii and my husband and myself went on the kayak whale tour and I was nervous at first but the guide was so nice and he took very good care of us. Being in the open water and seeing the whales from a distance was very wonderful and I hope I can do this again soon. The kayaking was not very hard and I learned quickly thank to my guide and teacher.

Turtles, turtles, turtles!
Reviewed by: Kevin J, 2008/01/05Our guide Kaileo was a true local who whole-heartedly enjoyed sharing his ocean with us. He was extremely knowledgable and went beyond what other 'mass market' tour companies offer. He lead out our small group and took the time to educate us about the reefs and ocean bottom, showing us turtles, octopus, starfish, eels and countless fish. (allowing us to even hold the octopus and starfish if we so desired!) I'd certainly go back again when in Maui and would reccomend this trip to anyone who is comfortable with the open ocean. Mahalo!

great trip
Reviewed by: ROBERT SINGER, 2007/09/27Our guide Cal....... (Hawaiian name) was supurb. We went the year before but this year was diferent because this guy made our trip exceptional. He was with us every minute, dived to bring us up a octupus and taught us about marine life. No laziness. If we go again it will be because of this guide.
Thanks,
R. Singer
