Best snorkeling experience for a first timer - This was our first time snorkeling and Robbie was amazing. He calmed both my children who were terrified of snorkeling . We saw a bunch of sea turtles . If you are a first timer his like us, I would highly recommend Robbie and this company . From the Time of booking, the communication was very clear . I was very sceptical about how this would go especially with my littles. But I was absolutely satisfied and happy , for Robbie was so patient and made sure we had a whale of a time !

Great experience, especially if a non swimmer - The details might say photos, but they are not included in the price. You have to pay for them. The shots were good.
With that out of the way , and us being total non swimmers, we had a great great time with our instructor Joe. He was phenomenal. Took the time to explain the details. Helped a lot , he was patient.
Tip: if you are not a swimmer GET the scooter they rent. That will be the difference between enjoying this and it being a pain to keep going. Just get it. You can actually enjoy snorkeling with the scooter. Also get the floaters. My 9y old loved it.. highlight of the trip

Amazing experience especially for a first timer non swimmer, Robbie was great!! - Robbie was amazing! I can't swim, this was my first time trying snorkeling and he made sure to answer all my questions and checked in with me personally before we stepped into the water to calm my nerves. We also got a chance to get comfortable with the snorkeling equipment. It was a great experience and I'd recommend any non swimmer/first timer to go try this with Robbie.
We saw so many fish as well as turtles. They swam right under my belly, so cute!
PS. We went to the Olowalu Beach early in the morning at 8 am, the water was super calm and clear.

A perfect day to for snorkeling - Alex was a fantastic guide. He was friendly and helpful. He made the non-swimmers feel comfortable in the water. He found the turtles for us, which was the highlight of the adventure. He also took fabulous pictures of everyone.

Don’t be scared - give it a shot! - Alex made four NYC adults who have never been beyond a 4 ft pool feel so comfortable in over 20 feet of ocean water on their first snorkel experience! He was helpful and knowledgeable (about moving locations for safety) and took great photos. An excellent choice for first timers / non swimmers, we saw many fish, urchins, and turtles! 10/10 experience that makes us want to go again!

My favorite day on Maui! - Alex was an incredible guide. He was very patient with the group. He took time to explain how to use the equipment. He took where the turtles were feeding. I was thrilled to see a turtle. It was the highlight of my trip. I haven't snorkeled in a few years, so I opted to go with a group. It was the best decision I made during our stay on Maui. I can't thank, Alex enough for the fabulous day. I'll add photos as soon as I get my images.

Wonderful family experience! - My family had such a fun, memorable experience thanks to our guide, Robbie. My wife and 2 kids have never snorkeled before but felt safe. We got to see turtles, octopus, and other sea creatures. The underwater videos and pictures Robbie shared were amazing! A true highlight of our trip.
