Makena-Wailea Explorer Voyage à Maui

We did a snorkeling and kayak trip and had the pleasure of having Andres as our guide. The family had a terrific time annd we were able to swim with the sea turtles. Andres was funny, informative and took the safety of the group very seriously. We highly recommend!

John, our guide, took us around the bay to ensure we saw turtles. When we stopped to snorkel, he pointed us to multiple turtles and other sealife. John took lots of pictures of our group so we have wonderful memories of our trip.

Absolutely Amazing!! John was an amazing guide. He was very cognizant of the fact my wife was a little nervous. His instructions were simple and easy to follow and understand. All of us in our group had so much fun!!!! We saw a lot of turtles (12-15 at least)!!!!! Along with dozens of different fish and eels!!!! Video/photo package was worth the money. We have done several different snorkeling trips and a few on our own. I have never seen this many turtles in one trip!!!! Thank you John for an amazing time!!! Can’t wait to come back and do it again!!!! Only advice I can give for anyone thinking about booking an adventure is show up early and have an amazing attitude!!!! The vide you bring makes a difference!!!

The trip was very really worth the money. Our guide was Andres and he was very friendly and knowledgeable. He took us to a very nice spot where we saw dozens of turtles. It was a better experience than the busy big boat tours.

Trip was absolutely amazing with breathtaking views! I went with a friend in February and we saw so many whales, and our tour guide Andrés was incredibly helpful, kind, knowledgeable, and gave us great recommendations for other things to check out during our stay. But it is kayaking, so be prepared for a slight arm workout! Overall I highly recommend!

Andres was amazing, he made sure we didn't do anything we didn't want to do. He made us comfortable and was able to hold a constant conversation during our experience. My boyfriend and I loved having him as our guide and would book him again next time!

To start it off the experience was great. The guide (Andres) has the best personality and was so chill. If we didn't see turtles I wouldn't have been upset because of how cool Andres was! He had lots of ideas and recommendations for what to do around town which was super cool and helpful to my wife and I. The kayaking and snorkeling was a blast. Andres got us into some really cool spots to see a lot of turtles and even better we got pictures with turtles (without touching)! Very easy going trip with plenty of exploring. If you are new to kayaking do not hesitate to reach out to Andres he is helpful and will teach you if you need that. Go explore and enjoy the time!! Awesome trip with an awesome guide!

Avoid Maui Kayaks. No one drowned. We were launched from a beach that was incredibly turbulent and rocky and tipped the kayak twice attempting to get in. . The life vests were not adequate for everyone that was there, meaning those with a larger girth received the same life vest as someone weighing approximately hundred pounds. The guide was informative and did his best, but he certainly was difficult to understand, especially when he was far away from the kayak that we were in. I put the whole blame on the company and not on the guide that accompanied us on our kayak experience. When you have multiple people kayaking, my experience has been that you have someone that takes the front and someone that comes up behind. There was only one guide for us, and that became a bit of a problem because of the different skill levels of people kayaking, and also because the ocean was turbulent that day. There was no snorkeling, even though that was supposed to be part of the experience. I left with a good size bruise on my head from the kayak tipping over, and bruises on the back of my arms from the same, and my husband bruised his ankle.

This was a truly amazing experience. Our guide, John, was fantastic. He is very knowledgeable and experienced. You can tell he loves his job. We saw a mother whale and her baby close up from our kayak. Then we went snorkeling. Snorkeling was so much fun! We saw lots of turtles up close. I was literally inches away from them. John even spotted an octopus and the octopus crawled on his hand and then ours. I had no idea they were so friendly. John was really good at spotting all sorts of fish, turtles, and sea creatures (including a sea eel). I'm sure we wouldn't have seen nearly as much without him as our guide. An added bonus: John took pictures and videos of our entire experience. The photos and videos were excellent in quality. I am so glad we paid extra to have those memories. I highly recommend spending the extra $60 for the photos and vids. All in all, I would have to say that this kayak/snorkeling experience was the highlight of my entire week in Maui. If you get a chance to go out with John, grab it. You won't regret it.

We had the most amazing trip with our awesome guide Andres. He made sure we were comfortable with the equipment and he made us laugh a lot. He was so knowledgeable about the local area and his enthusiasm was infectious. Worth going just for for the turtles and your main man!!
