This was a truly wonderful experience for my entire family! Our guide, John, was very helpful, informative, and entertaining as well. Best of all, since not everyone in my family is a strong swimmer, he took the time to put the less strong swimmers at ease and carefully guide them through getting into and out of the kayak and how to snorkel enjoyably! I can't thank him enough for his help, guidance, and for making this an incredibly positive experience for all of us! Thanks again!
We did many fun things while in Maui, but each member of my family said that this trip was one of our favorite activities. John, our guide, was fantastic and made everyone feel comfortable. You can tell he loves what he does and truly appreciates the marine life and environment. Some highlights on the tour include holding an octopus and swimming directly next to countless sea turtles. Definitely recommend this tour!
Had an incredible day and trip to snorkel with the turtles. Andres was super knowledgeable and unbelievably kind and helpful with the littles we were with!
We did not get to experience this activity because of high surf. We were contacted it was cancelled however still waiting on a full refund.
What a wonderful time we had. Not only did we see multiple turtles but also had the pleasure of watching 3 dolphins swim by us. Andres was our guide and he was amazing!
Our family had a great experience kayaking and seeing the turtles. We were able to reschedule to the next day after conditions prevented us from going out the day before. Launching and returning to the beach was so fun even as the surf wasn’t smooth. Andres timed the surf perfectly so all in our group had no problems. Seeing the turtles in their natural habitat is so great. I loved the different types of sea urchins and fish. Yes, you can get in and out of a kayak in the sea without any issue if you are remotely athletic. Suggestion: don’t book your excursion when the tide is incoming, the water will be clearer.
Andres was wonderful and we always felt well taken care of. We got to see so many turtles and pretty fish.
My husband and I booked this trip and John S. Was our guide. John was an excellent tour leader, very upbeat and positive, as well as patient and helpful. He made kayaking easy with clear simple instructions. In addition, John was quite patient with me as I am not a good snorkeler. He made it easy for even me to view the sea turtles. The photos he took were outstanding. We highly recommend this tour.
I am a senior woman traveling solo. Andres Silva reassured me that I would be fine, and I was. His expert direction and guidance kept me calm. It was an amazing experience and Andres was informative and fun.
Awesome, turtle town lived up to the name. Our guide John was super helpful and made the experience fun.
