Fabulous experience! Paul was a great communicator, had great equipment, and had thought of everything for our tour. We did a beach entry and swam through the coral to a turtle cleaning station where tiny fish cleaned the turtles. There were four turtles and lots of little fish and it was so amazing to see! Paul was full of lots of great information and a great guide. Highly recommended!!
Paul was an amazing and expert guide! He had top of the line snorkel gear, and was great for me as a beginner. He gave a 101 tutorial, and made it easy and fun. We went out pretty far and saw beautiful turtles and fish and coral. He was very encouraging and kept everyone safe. He also took great photos with his GoPro and sent them right away. I highly recommend booking Paul for a snorkeling adventure!
Paul is an excellent guide! Even though we ran 30 minutes late (lane close, road maintenance in a Kapalua Bay neighborhood), he was very patient and accommodating. We were completely new to snorkeling, and got us up to speed and comfort within 15 minutes, provided all the equipment. As an experienced marine biologist, he gave us thorough intel on the marine life, terrain, and got us directly to a spot where sea turtles essentially congregrate and wait in line for a spa treatment from fish. I kid you not, there were 11 sea turtles within the vicinity, waiting for a school of fish to suck their seashells clean and silky smooth, Zohan style. The colonies of coral and the sheer volume of fish active in their 'hood is astounding and wondrous, with teems of reef fish such as yellow tangs. Its Finding Nemo in real life, personal to your experience. And Paul takes digital photos from his GoPro, and sent it to us free of charge within the day. Excellent, vibrant quality photos, up close and personal with the sea life. I'm telling you, this is excellent value, and time savvy. We may have spent about an hour and a half from start to finish, and had plenty of time to grab Leoda's sandwich and pie house before the lunch rush line (at Paul's recommendation. He completely downplayed how excellent the the seared ahi tuna sandwich and corned beef and pastrami burger there, as well as the excellent pies that would bitchslap the best of what we get in Los Angeles). Snorkeling with Paul was one of the best decisions and moments we spent here in Maui. Thank you so much!
Paul is the man! Not only was the snorkel site incredible, but he was also able to teach us about the different species of corals and fish we were seeing. The tour was a leisurely swim, and the reef was absolutely teeming with life. I can’t wait to go again!
Paul is a great guide. Our family was mostly first timers and got a lot opportunities to see and experience things we would never see anywhere else. Paul being a local and Marine Biologist gave us a nice spread of information on our experience. If anything he gave us more of the big picture experience for how it all fits together. Mahalo Paul.
Paul made our snorkel experience one of a kind with his kind, compassionate spirit! We were in awe of his knowledge and experiences as a conservationist and ocean enthusiast. We thought it was so neat to have this sacred experience with someone who truly knows Maui waters as he’s an avid diver and snorkeler for work and leisure. He went out of his way to show us the beauty of the ancient world below. He truly has a natural gift to help people learn, while also helping them relax and enjoy the majesty all around! Kudos to Paul! Mahalo Nui Loa, we appreciate you dearly!
