Kaua’i snorkel - Great snorkel tour for people that do not have much or any prior experience. Our guide explained the use of the equipment in detail and we were in the water for about an hour. It was perfect! Saw lots of fish and turtles!

Great tour guide, great location. - Excellent excursion with Greg being very detailed in teaching us how to wear and use mask/tubing. The location was great teeming with fish. We felt very safe being guided with his surf board. Would do it again and will refer Greg to friends and families.

Great Kauai Family-Friendly Snorkeling Experience - My family had an incredible time on the 2 hr. Snorkeling tour with Gregg!!!! First he took time to learn about my family and our previous snorkeling experience (including our kids 8 & 11) and taught us all the best practices for how to snorkel safety and effectively. He was very patient with us since we are a bit new to snorkeling, and we really enjoyed that he brought a paddleboard which helped my kids feeling more confident in the water, since they could stay close to the paddleboard as needed. Gregg knew where to find turtles and varies species of fish at the location where we snorkeled, and it was an amazing experience swimming with all the beautiful sea-life in Kauai. Very Highly recommend!!!

Wonderful experience - We had a great time. Greg was very knowledgeable and helpful getting into the gear and helping some in the group feel comfortable in the water. We saw two huge sea turtles and lots of marine life. Thanks for the good day.

Highly recommended for all levels of snorkelers! - We had a great experience snorkeling with Gregg! He took time to explain the process to our family and also shared interesting information about the culture and practices of the island. We had a mixed group of the adventurous and the cautious - Gregg did a wonderful job engaging both. The day we went wasn't the most spectacular in terms of weather, but we saw beautiful fish, turtles and formations nonetheless.

Worst Snorkeling Experience - The tour started off a bit shady. We were not given a location to meet until 4 pm the day prior which seemed odd, but we went with it. The first hour plus was talking. The guide started the conversation asking our names and where we were from. He started with a racist comment to my husband about the color of his skin and our last name. Which was completely inappropriate. He then stated that he had no filter. Most of the conversation was about the guide, his kids, and how to blow a conch shell and ask the gods for permission to snorkel. He spent about 1 minute showing us hand signals, and about 5 minutes showing us how to use the snorkel equipment. There was one flotation device with 6 handles for the entire group. One of our friends that was part of the tour informed the guide that he was not a good swimmer. He said he would be fine and could hold on the flotation device. The area in which he chose for us to snorkel was very rocky and the water was very choppy. Once we got in the water the guide put our snorkels on each of us. As soon as we started out, our friend was very anxious, uncomfortable, and was struggling in the water. As the guide was pulling us out, he snapped at our friend that by him holding onto the board it was making it hard for him to get us out. Our friend almost Immediately stated to the guide that he wanted to go back into shore. The guide said “I will work with you and you will be fine.” The guide kept pulling us farther out, the entire time our friend was taking in a lot of water and requesting to go back to shore. Finally, after several, several requests the guide finally agreed to take him back. We all started heading back to shore. The guide once again stopped and told our friend to put his head in the water. At this point, my husband said to the guide “no, just take us in, my man can’t breathe and is struggling.” The guide proceeded to yell at my husband “ don’t tell me how to do my job” a verbal altercation ensued between my husband and the guide. My husband basically telling the guide not to yell at him. The guide instantly plays the victim and says “ oh you’re threatening me now” Which he was not. He stated to just get us to shore. The remaining time making our way back to shore, the guide continually antagonized the situation, to which I said to please just stop talking you are making it worse. The guide then asked a lady just entering the water that he clearly knew, “ have you ever heard someone complain about me, to which the women replied “yes. Do I need to remind you?” As my husband was getting out of the water there was a man there that had asked what had happened, my husband told him and he replied “ your not the first person say that about this tour guide today” Once we left, our friend said that he had water running out of his nose for several hours, and the had my husband not stepped in when he did, he felt he would have drowned. This was the worst experience we’ve ever had.
