Up close with turtles in the river. - Wonderful adventure on a last minute booking. Learned some culture of the local community and even more history. Didn’t get to see turtles in the ocean , because they were in the river. Well worth it.

Kayaking and snorkeling fun! - It was very fun! We have done kayak tours before, Kōloa was very good at explaining the process. He had lots of history and when we got to the ocean to snorkel, he showed us all the different types of fishes and actually located a giant tortoise for us to see! It was awesome!
