Kayak and whales. Incredible! - Our guide, Wesley was fantastic. He is super chill and friendly. Start the trip off with a fresh coconut! Heaven.
The snorkeling wasn’t very good just a handful of not too bright fish. I think the reef has just been destroyed. We saw 1 turtle from the kayak, none when snorkeling.

MAUI MUST DO! - We could not have asked for a better tour! The communication was top notch ahead of time and we felt like we knew exactly what to expect. The location was easy to find (but be mindful because a few tours are located within the same general area). We were lucky in that we had a smaller tour - 5 of us total - and Wesley was the BEST guide! He was so friendly, knowledgeable, and went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying our time. We saw so many whales and snorkeling was phenomenal too, with Wesley pointing out different wildlife to us as we went. I could not recommend this experience more!

Adventure of your lifetime - We had a wonderful trip with Red, he took us out and constantly tried to get us in good spots to see whales. He worked very hard to make sure we get the trip worth. No kidding, I'll say we got more of what we expected! He went above and beyond. Afterward, he took us to good snorkeling spot where we saw a mantra ray and sea turtles! We will do this tour again when we bring our family with us.

These guys take very good care of you! - As a 75 year old overweight and out of shape man this was a challenge for me, but Red and Wes made it as good as it could be... thank you both! It's beautiful out there. I recommend this outfit highly.

Best experience in Maui - This is the best tour we took in Maui. Four of us had a great time. We saw whales and turtles. West is very friendly. We would recommend this to everyone who visit Maui.

Great day on the water! - We had a great day out on the water a couple of days ago. Red made sure to stay in touch about delays in our take off and sent out a good text message the day before with what to expect for the day.
Lance was our guide and made sure we had a nice time on the water. He pointed out the turtles as he saw them since we had some trouble finding the cleaning station and made sure we enjoyed our time in the water.
Overall the guys did a great job taking care of us on the tour and provided an enjoyable experience. I would recommend them for a tour.

February Maui Kayak Tour - Plenty of whale and several turtle sightings! Provided kayak, paddle, snorkeling gear, and life vest were in good condition. The meet up location was on the beach, but easy enough to find.
Was occasionally hard to hear our guide, but he was familiar with the area and answered all our questions. Overall positive experience!

Fun but cut short - The trip out was great, very beautiful. We saw several whales breaching far out in the distance. They will take you to a turtle “cleaning station” at which you’re able to see a bunch of sea turtles. Our only complaint was that the trip seemed to be cut short. Otherwise, we recommend this adventurous trip!
