This is a good tour, but the guides were a little lackluster. They feed you and make sure you have drinks, but outside of taking photos that they tried to sell us afterwards and trying to upsell me on snuba, they were not very interested in interacting with us. The food is great though, the drinks are solid, and they take you to some of the most beautiful places to snorkel in Maui. I'd highly recommend.
Would highly recommend this tour! It was my second time kayaking but it is perfectly suitable for beginners, not very strenuous. It was my first time snorkeling and I had a very positive experience! Our guide, Nate, made sure first-timers were looked after and took along a professional camera to make pictures with the sea turtles and other sea life, should you wish to purchase them later. We had plenty of time to snorkel and explore, didnt feel rushed at all. I would recommend the morning tour, it feels more peaceful and youll have more space before the other tours pick up. After the excursion, Nate was kind enough to give us suggestions of activities around the island, such as hikes and insider tips of when to get there, what is most worth doing, etc. Overall, it was an amazing experience, you wont regret going - especially if youre a fan of turtles I had six sightings! Big thank you to Nate and the team!
Nate was awesome. Nice and low-key adventure in a small group. Saw turtles and lots of fish.
It took a little while to find the turtles, but when we did it was AMAZING!! Our guide Steve was very knowledgable, he's been a guide for 17 years, so I felt very comfortable with him. Unfortunately my cheap underwater camera didn't work, so no pictures. : But the memory of floating around with the turtles will always be with me! Thank you Steve for a great trip!
Loved this tour. Great kayaking and awesome snorkeling. Beautiful scenery.
The snorkeling was great! Based on the description i thought there would be more kayaking and talking of history/maui knowledge. This was a snorkeling tour - saw tons of sea turtles and really good fish! great if you are just looking for a snorkeling tour.
An early morning outing before the tradewinds take hold, this was fantastic. We kayaked for about half an hour before getting out and slipping into the water to be surrounded by sea turtles! An amazing sight!
Would have like more time snorkeling - while we had a number of whale sightings which was an incredible experience we missed out on some of the hands on experience that snorkeling provides
We had so much fun, the guide was so knowledgeable and so helpful. My husband got a little seasick and Garrett was very sympathetic and got us back onto land as soon as possible.I would highly recommend this trip to anyone...
great experience, the tour leading is very nice. we did have good time
