Highlight of our family trip to Maui!

We thoroughly enjoyed this tour with Ryan and his expertise that he shaed with us. We honestly did not know what to expect, but it far exceeded any of our expectations and was a trip highlight for our family. We did a lot of kayaking (probably 4 miles), but saw two whales and lots of sea turtles and monk seals when snorkeling. Ryan was a phenomenal guide, and gave us all an experience we will never forget!

Our guide went the extra mile!

Andreas was an amazing guide! He is enthusiast and passionate. He shared some local information, kept everyone safe, and made sure we all had fun. We started snorkeling and saw turtles being cleaned by fish near their caves and then decided to paddle fast and far to see whales and had some luck even though the season is about over. Highly recommend especially for the morning.

Fantastic Tour and Great Guide!

Carlos was an amazing tour guide! I was nervous about snorkeling, but Carlos was very kind and helped me feel comfortable enough to get into the water. We saw whales (a mother, her calf and an escort), an abundance of turtles, and all types of fish and other sea life. Carlos took loads of neat photos. He also had a bunch of information regarding the wildlife and the surrounding islands. He goes at the pace of the group and works to make sure we were able to get to the best snorkel spots before the rest of the tours showed up. I highly recommend this experience if you're in Maui.

Incredible experience!

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, Carlos was an excellent guide and exceeded expectations in every way to make our adventure fun, educational, and at times almost spiritual. His photos and videos captured incredible moments of one of the highlights of our vacation and afterward gave us loads of great recommendations for hiking and dining experiences we wouldn’t have found online. Later, after showering and getting dressed we walked back to the beach to get a selfie; Carlos recognized us and ran over to take the picture for us. Just an incredible, once in a lifetime experience with a fantastic guide. If you’re looking for whale watching tour you’ll remember for the rest of your life I can’t recommend this enough.

wonderful whale and turtle watching, great guide

We had a fantastic time kayaking, whale watching and snorkeling with guide Carlos. He did a great job providing useful, detailed instruction to make us comfortable in the boats, helping us get an amazing, close-up view of whales, (which was just magical), and getting us to the snorkeling spot, with tons of turtle viewing, at just the right time. It was a very fun adventure, as Carlos used his expertise to get the details perfect, and was so friendly.

Amazing Experience!

We will have some special memories after kayaking and snorkeling with John! He spent several minutes explaining good techniques, safety practices and how to communicate before we left the shore. The time we spent being instructed on shore saved time on the water. We saw several whales including a mama and baby combo. John was helpful and calming for those of us nervous to snorkel. Once we were in, a green sea turtle, octopus, and white tip reef shark were spotted. Overall a delightful time!!
