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!

Great whale watching & snorkeling - Had such a fun morning with adventure tours!! We saw plenty of whales and had some really cool encounters. Snorkeling was also a great time with visiting the turtle cleaning station. Highly recommend if you are looking for a nice morning tour with good people and a great price for what they offer.

Check out the turtle cleaning station - We just finished our tour with Wes, and really had a great experience! Kayak is about 15 minutes out to one location to snorkel around the coral and see the schools of fish. Then the second kayak brought us to the “turtle Cleaning station“, Where turtles hang out and take their time waiting on the fish to clean them up all around their shell next and even the undercarriage! My GoPro down for better video, and it just came out so good! Red who does the booking and coordinates all the initial set up, has dry bags, iPhone waterproof cases as well as HD underwater cameras for rent if you choose. Snacks and fruit offered, as well as water bottles. You totally must do this when you visit Maui. You really do need to have some fitness to kayak, and willingness to follow instructions for getting in and out of the kayaks. Wes kept us off the reef and advised the correct channels to kayak through. Overall a fantastic experience!!

Exciting and Memorable - Me and my family of 6 went on this amazing tour. We got to see nearly a dozen sea turtles and a variety of fish. The guide sets you up with gear, water, and everything you need need for the excursion. Excellent music and a very patient and insightful guide made this tour one we will definitely be doing again.

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.
