Water was beautiful and calm. Greg was very patient and knowledgeable. One member of the group had some anxiety the excursion and Greg was very accommodating and applied no pressure. We saw lots of fish and turtles. Would highly recommend this experience.
What a great adventure. Your family is so nice. Thank you 😊
We had a great time with Greg snorkeling and seeing the beautiful sea turtles. He was very knowledgable and friendly.
The whole experience was great from start to finish! Gregg sat us down on the beach and explained everything about snorkeling. We saw so many types of fish and a few sea turtles! My kids all thought it was fantastic. Could not have asked for a better experience!
Thank you so much. Have fun tubing today
This should NOT be your first snorkel experience if you are not a swimmer. Heard later that Kōloa Landing on Hanakaape bay (where we were asked to go) is not the best place for snorkeling. We saw scuba divers getting into the water there. The water was not calm and we asked to return after 1/2 hr or so. Water was somewhat murky also. Best to get comfortable with snorkeling first either in Poipu beach (can see turtles on the beach there) or Lydgate beach where there are lifeguards and the water is shallow. Lots of places to rent a snorkel kit including Boss Frog's. If you rent from their shop in Kōloa, Sawyer is very helpful.
Thank you I have been teaching non swimmers for decades, including children, and you nice people were the most difficult group I have ever had. I gave it my best effort, It is unfortunate that you did not have the best time. The conditions were not the best, I agree, I do not control the weather, I wish you well, thank you for the 2 review
We had an incredible snorkel experience with Greg! He is super knowledgeable and was flexible with us- making sure we were in the right spot and time for the rainy weather. Would definitely go back!
Thank you. It was great sharing with you guys
An amazing snorkel experience, swimming with sea turtles! This was perfect for our two kids who hadnt snorkeled before - so patient and kind with them as they adjusted to the mask and flippers. Highly recommend!!
Mahalo for joining us. It was a pleasure to share with your ohana
Greg is a great guide! My family and I had an amazing time. It wasn’t rushed just fun our 9 year old said it was the best time of his life. It was just long enough.
We had a great time on this snorkel. We saw so many turtles and fish! Gregg made such we were all comfortable in the water. It was so much fun!
We had tons of fun and learned some great snorkel tips as well! The turtles showed up as advertised and we made lifelong memories as a family
Gregg was an amazing guide! He was patient and kind. He was great with the kids and helped them through some anxiety to give them the best first snorkeling experience ever. He had all the gear we needed and gave a great tutorial before we got in the water to ensure that everyone was safe. The turtles were beautiful and curious about our group. We saw dozens of species of fish and Gregg brought up urchins and sea cucumbers for the kids to touch. This is a must do! Thank you!
