Absolutely fantastic tour 😍 - I am incredibly happy that I booked the tour with Tropical Guides & Outfitters, it was such a wonderful experience and worth every cent! I loved the combination of kayaking and snorkeling and we saw sooo many sea turtles! It was really the highlight of my stay in Maui. Our tour guide Kris was amazing and made sure everyone is safe and has a great time. We saw beautiful corals, fish and sea turtles and Kris gave us a lot of interesting info on the wildlife and also the surrounding islands etc. She was even so thoughtful to give everyone pineapple after the snorkeling to get rid of the saltwater taste 😊. I highly recommend this tour to anyone seeking an incredible snorkeling experience!

Honu and Pineapple 🐢🍍 - We had a great time with Chris! We have been snorkeling several times around Maui with various tours and this one was one of our favorites. The clear kayaks add a unique element to the experience and Chris was very knowledgeable and helpful (there were various levels of experience on our tour and everyone felt included). The area where we snorkeled had dozens of turtles -- it was magical :) Before we headed back to shore, Chris provided fresh water and cut pineapple which was a really nice touch. Would book again and we had an unforgettable morning on the water!

Awesome time with Tropical guides and Outfitters - We had such an amazing time! Totally recommend. Kris was our guide and he is awesome. He shared history, names, information about Maui. He is very knowledgeable and friendly. Some pineapple at the end of the snorkeling was the cherry on top! The clear kayaks work really well with such clear water. We were able to see fishes, sea turtles without getting out of the kayak.

Amazing Experience - The snorkel tour was amazing! My wife and I did this on our honeymoon and had a blast. We were the only ones on the 7am-10am tour. We were even able to do some whale watching during our excursion as some whales were swimming near the area we had kayaked to snorkel. Our guide Kris was awesome too. With lots of knowledge about the reefs and whales we felt very comfortable during our excursion. The water was amazing and still and Kris told us that morning was often the best time to go out. We loved this experience so much that we rented some snorkel gear that afternoon and snorkeled the beaches around our hotel. 10/10 recommend.

Sea turtle, octopus, fish from clear kayaks with kids - We had a wonderful time on the clear kayaks with our 3 kids who are ages 4-9. Kris was our trip guide and she was wonderful at tailoring the experience to our kids’ levels. The two youngest did get in the water, but were too cold to snorkel beyond a few minutes (we knew this was likely to happen). This was ok as the clear bottom kayak allowed them to still see coral and sea turtles! Kris helped our 9 year old get in and out of the kayak a few times to allow him to re-warm while we parents swapped turns, and he ultimately saw several sea turtles and many fish. I would bring a wet suit top or short suit if you run cold, but I don’t know if this would have helped our kids since it was nice for them to rewarm more quickly in the boat with just the life jackets. We would totally do this again and were amazed at all the things we saw and how short of a trip it was from the take-off point. We were in the morning session which seems best for beginners given the water tends to be calmer.

Great Maui Treat! - Had a great time with Kris yesterday. She was very friendly, helpful, patient (had some sea sickness issues) and she is an expert at her craft. Water clarity was nice and we spotted two turtles among other sea life. Really fascinating to hear the snapping shrimp and an amazing treat to hear whales! Our water camera really captured it as well! Despite the overcast weather, the water temperature was perfect and like I mentioned before, the water clarity was great! Definitely a fun experience and would highly recommend it.
