Kayaking and snorkeling fun! - It was very fun! We have done kayak tours before, Kōloa was very good at explaining the process. He had lots of history and when we got to the ocean to snorkel, he showed us all the different types of fishes and actually located a giant tortoise for us to see! It was awesome!

This tour exceeded my expectations. - Gabe was an excellent guide/leader. While there was a wide variety of guests in level of experience and fitness, Gabe made sure to accommodate everyone’s needs and interests. The setup and launch could not have been easier with a ramp taking the kayak into the water. The kayaking pace was comfortable with plenty of time for photos and videos, and the conditions were very good. What was most surprising to me was how good the snorkeling was. The reefs are not colorful, but there were many different species of fish and we saw at least eight turtles quite close to us. I am an awe-seeker, and this did not disappoint!
