Great experience! Trip was moved from Turtle Town to the lagoon in Lahaina due to ocean conditions. Our guide, Ryan, was very trustworthy, patient, and knowledgable. He gave great instruction and clearly knows the ocean and islands. We saw turtles, lots of fish, urchins, and a white-tipped reef shark! Paddled out to the deeper water and you could see the bottom up to 130 feet deep. Very fun trip. Thank you!
We were suppose to do our kayak/snorkeling at Turtle Town, but because the ocean wasn’t cooperating, we received a phone call to reschedule and we ended up at Lahaina Cove with Ryan as our guide. Can’t say enough about how kind Ryan was and knowledgeable. He told us exactly what we would be doing and how to do it. We swam with the sea turtles, colorful fish, saw beautiful coral, seals, and even a white tipped shark. Highly recommend. Thank you Ryan for a great t8me!
Everything, what a wonderful experience and Beautiful memories. Our guide knew the area so well to ensure our group had a memorable and safe experience . Carlos was so exceptional as a guide, he made it safe and fun and was very attentive to everyone's needs, we had a large group of 12 but everyone's needs were met. He was so positive, helpful and fun.
Carlos was amazing and made sure everyone was safe and had a beautiful experience away from the masses. We saw turtles and plenty of fish. He made our adventure great!
John Shappell is an amazing and fun kayak/snorkel guide in every way. Super knowledgeable about the water and sea life…and passionate about sharing what he knows. John took amazing photos and was great at explaining the how-to’s of kayaking and snorkeling. He definitely knew the best spots to observe the turtles etc. Best Maui experience!
John Shappell was amazing from hello to goodbye. He was thorough and inviting. We had a great time, even got a hold a wild octopus he caught very carefully, it was something I never imaginedhaving the chance to do. So many turtles! I know that can be hit or Miss but he had a game plan and delivered. I can’t imagine doing a whale kayak with him but hopefully we’ll find out. He also knew when it was time to head in at just the right time as the waves really developed into white caps, 10 our of 10, would highly recommend and definitely making sure we contact John Shappell next time we’re out. Thanks John! Oh and he took great pictures, definitely opt in for the picture package, we have wonderful pictures and didn’t have to worry about taking a single shot! See you again! Jeff and Amber
