This was a great... - This was a great experience! We went on the 10:30 tour but still had calm waters and lots of turtles. Jeremiah was a great guide. He explained everything down to the basics so that I felt comfortable even with no kayak or snorkeling experience. The kayaks were very fun and sturdy and Jeremiah shared a lot of great stories and facts along the way. The snorkeling site had so much to look at and Jeremiah was super patient as I figured out the snorkeling portion. Overall, an awesome experience.

Best experience ever! - After a location change and a few times of rescheduling due to weather, we were lucky enough to get out on our last chance before heading back home. Tyler was amazing!!! He took time for us beginners, explained everything beforehand, and got us over our fears! We had a rough start to our first time on the island, but Tyler made our entire trip absolutely special. Next time we’re on Maui, we will be hoping for another trip with Tyler!

Bucket List Experience - Jake was an amazing instructor and guide our family of first timer kayakers. We saw several fish turtles when visiting the "cleaning station." Guide provided drinks, snacks and snorkel gear as well. Thank you Jake, for the experience. Highly recommend!
