Outstanding - everything was as described - Had an outstanding experience with Katie as my guide. My wife isn’t into kayaking or snorkeling, so I was on this excursion solo, and it turns out that I was also the only person in Katie’s group on this particular day. She was super knowledgeable about the area, and was willing to spend a little extra time with me both in the kayak and during the snorkeling because I was the only one. She took some great pictures of the turtles, the fish,and of me snorkeling above and around them. I would happily do this excursion again. One word of caution - this is a physical experience and those that are beginners or have medical issues should probably look elsewhere. We kayaked for 30 minutes out and 30 minutes back and spent over an hour in the water snorkeling, and I was worn out at the end.

Perfect Experience! - This kayaking/snorkeling guided tour was one of the best experiences we ever had! The owner and guides are super friendly and knowledgable, and it is certainly worth every penny. Great for all skill levels.

Amazing Activity. TURTLES - This is something that you NEED to do if you’re visiting Maui. It is such an amazing experience and very easy and fun. You first start off with a little kayaking and then you get to snorkel for a long time seeing so many different fishes and coral reef homes. Then to finish off your adventure you get to see so many turtles and it is unreal. Both our instructors were very nice and made sure to take us to spots where we would for sure see many different animals and views.

Great Active Excursion! - Red was a great operator. Called ahead of our scheduled day to proactively reschedule due to heavy surf. Wes was a very attentive and engaging guide. Highly recommend!

Disappointed - Sadly, it was a disappointing experience. It began late, with equipment not prepared/ready. Then, there was a booking mix-up, with more people onsite than expected. It took additional time to figure out the issue and ultimately made our group larger than usual. During our kayaking, we did witness some whales which did something to overcome the poor beginning. Unfortunately, one of groups kayaks began taking on water and one group was forced to take on a third person onto their boat while one of the guides paddled the stricken kayak to shore, leaving us the guide short. To further the puzzlement, the guides expressed concern over the one kayak, saying it was known to be a problem—why is it still in service? While it was a successful day for us—seeing some whales and sea turtles—the whole experience left us disappointed, thinking it could have been a much better experience.
