Excellent tout! - Chris was an excellent guide and for our clear bottom snorkel and snorkeling tour. He explained what we were going to do during our tour and he helped my daughter and I feel comfortable navigating the kayaks and shared a little Maui history as well. I would recommend this tour to anybody!

SO worth it!!! - This tour was one of the best parts if our trip! We had planned to snorkel independently but were intimidated by all the options. On our last day on the island we decided to bite the bullet and pay for a tour. We are SO glad that we made this call! Kris was an amazing guide and told us about island history, the wildlife we were seeing, and gave us recommendations for other places to snorkel on our own time as well as other activities and restaurants to check out. Communication before, during, and after the trip was great. We felt safe and had tons of fun with no prior experience or skill necessary. All gear was provided. Just come well prepared for sun and have a change of clothes and towel in the car. Pro tips: We were grateful to have gone to the aquarium earlier in the trip so that we had more context for what we were seeing. Also, pay the extra money for the photo package especially if going with kids so that you can focus on your beautiful surroundings and keep your phone safely in the dry box. Photos come edited and are great quality.

Best family activity! - Kris was a great tour guide and so knowledgeable about the area & sea life. She was easy going and friendly too. Our family had the best time and by far this was our favorite activity we've done in our 3 trips to Maui. We snorkeled in clear waters and saw amazing fish, lots of turtles, eels, and our daughter even had a rare eagle ray sighting! So fun kayaking in the clear bottom kayaks too!

Great experience. - We had a blast. Chris was very knowledgeable and walked us along through every step. The reefs, marine life, and lava tubes were amazing. Chris also educated us on the history of the surrounding islands.

Great experience, must do! - Chris was an amazing tour guide. She made sure we were safe and well taken care of despite not being strong kayakers and swimmers. She went above and beyond in making sure we felt safe whilst having fun. We saw turtles, coral, fish and learned about sea life. Would definitely do this excursion again!

Sisters Maui Trip - My sister and I had a great time with Kris as our guide. She was very caring and patient with us newbie kayakers and was a wealth of knowledge about the Maui sea life and surrounding islands. We saw many turtles while snorkeling. Was glad I opted to add the $25 photo package Kris offered when we arrived. She took so many pics while kayaking and snorkeling. The clear bottom kayaks are the way to go!

Absolutely fantastic tour 😍 - I am incredibly happy that I booked the tour with Tropical Guides & Outfitters, it was such a wonderful experience and worth every cent! I loved the combination of kayaking and snorkeling and we saw sooo many sea turtles! It was really the highlight of my stay in Maui. Our tour guide Kris was amazing and made sure everyone is safe and has a great time. We saw beautiful corals, fish and sea turtles and Kris gave us a lot of interesting info on the wildlife and also the surrounding islands etc. She was even so thoughtful to give everyone pineapple after the snorkeling to get rid of the saltwater taste 😊. I highly recommend this tour to anyone seeking an incredible snorkeling experience!

Honu and Pineapple 🐢🍍 - We had a great time with Chris! We have been snorkeling several times around Maui with various tours and this one was one of our favorites. The clear kayaks add a unique element to the experience and Chris was very knowledgeable and helpful (there were various levels of experience on our tour and everyone felt included). The area where we snorkeled had dozens of turtles -- it was magical :) Before we headed back to shore, Chris provided fresh water and cut pineapple which was a really nice touch. Would book again and we had an unforgettable morning on the water!
