So worth it! - Amazing experience! Took about 3-4 hours total but was a highlight of our Maui trip! Andres was super helpful and informative. He was very patient with my mom who isn’t a strong swimmer. There were a TON of turtles when we went. Was 1 guide to a 4 person group size and felt perfectly comfortable. Would book again and recommend to others.

Great Day at McKenna! Great Tour Guide! - Excellent experience! My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves that beautiful Saturday in October. The fee was fair, and the length of time was perfect. The tour went like clockwork, thanks to our top notch tour guide, Robert Andre. He was superlative, both in knowledge and personality. His positive outlook was infectious and made for a fine and memorable Maui adventure! We will be back!

Turtle Town Kayak Tour - If you’re looking for a kayak tour that’s as entertaining as it is educational, look no further than Andres and his Turtle Town Kayak Tour! From the moment we launched into the sparkling waters, Andres infused the experience with his vibrant energy and laid-back vibe. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does, and that passion is contagious! Andres has an impressive wealth of knowledge about the island, effortlessly blending fascinating facts about the local ecosystem with tales about the majestic turtles we were lucky enough to spot. He made sure everyone felt engaged, sharing amusing anecdotes that had us all laughing while learning. His enthusiasm for marine life is matched only by his ability to connect with everyone on the tour, making it feel like a fun outing with friends rather than a formal excursion. On top of all that, let’s not forget his skills as a local soccer phenomenon! It’s clear that this guy knows how to navigate both the water and the soccer field with finesse. So, if you’re in the mood for a day filled with adventure, smiles, and some impromptu soccer tips, Andres is your guy! Overall, the Turtle Town Kayak Tour with Andres was a highlight of our trip. His fun personality, deep knowledge, and local charm made for an unforgettable experience. Grab your paddles and get ready for a fantastic adventure! 🐢🌊⚽

The best! Fun, friendly, safe, beautiful. - It was a beautiful tour and our tour guide, Andres, made it really fun and enjoyable. What a great human! He took excellent care of us, took awesome photos that he shared with us afterwards, and gave us great pointers on everything from viewing the turtles to see other parts of the island.

Watching Whales breaching from a kayak - We saw whales breaching out of the water while we were on kayaks. A once in a lifetime experience. The wind and ocean were too choppy for snorkeling but Andres was an amazing guide and kept us safe an entertained.
