First time snorkeling

This was our first time ever snorkeling. Some of us were very nervous. We also have someone who doesn’t know how to swim. Gabriel’s Ohana was very patient and they go by our pace, no rushing, no forcing. We would recommend this for everyone, especially for those who want to try snorkeling but have reservations. They provided everything. Just book and go. There’s also no time limit which is great for those who need a bit more time. We would do this again next time we come back to Maui.

Unforgettable Snorkeling Experience

Gabriel’s Ohana was the perfect tour company for first time snorkelers. Gabriel was super patient and a lovely guide, pointing out many cool sea creatures along the way and allowing us to hold sea urchins and star fish! He provided great assistance and tips to all levels: me and my family, who had never snorkeled before, the non-swimmers, and the people who had previously gone. I had a blast on this tour all the while learning about the beauty and the delicate ecosystem of this vast reef. Additionally, the snorkeling is truly unlimited; after everyone had tired out, Gabriel stayed out with me an extra hour while we continued to explore the reef. It felt like a private tour! Thank you Gabriel’s Ohana, for an unforgettable snorkeling experience!

No longer afraid of the ocean!

If you feel nervous at all, DON'T! They take such good care of you! And are so patient and kind, and genuinely want to help. So grateful this father and son share their love and knowledge of the ocean with others. Wonderful, amazing experience.

Great guided snorkeling experience off the beach near Kaanapali.

Gabriel got us started at the waters edge. He then guided us further out from shore where we saw a lot of fish and 2sea turtles. I get nervous to be far from shore in an area that I have never snorkeled before, but his quiet confidence was just what I needed to be comfortable. Highly recommend this for new snorkelers as well as experienced ones. A beautiful day in the water!

Loved this tour!

Thank you to Gabriel’s Ohana for an amazing experience! I was nervous about snorkeling with my 12 year old for the first time, and they put my mind at ease right away. They were incredibly caring and attentive to everyone, and they kept a close eye on my son to make sure he was safe. Unforgettable, beautiful, and educational! 10/10 mahalo ❤️

Amazing experience for first-time snorkeling!

Gabriel’s Ohana is an amazing company to choose for snorkeling. Jason was such a calm, easy-going guide. He made me feel comfortable with it being my very first time snorkeling! I told him I just wanted to see a turtle and he went and found 4 of them for me to see! We even saw a cute monk seal relaxing on the beach. Such a magical experience that I will never forget.

Awesome experience, can...

Awesome experience, can not recommend enough! Extremely in depth guide of the corals off the beach. Unfortunately (and this is beyond the guides control), the corals close to shore are bleached, but there is still lots of sea life to see!
