Recommended for all! - Great for everyone, the seasoned scuba folks as well as those who are afraid of open water (we had both in our group). Paul was very informative, understanding and helpful with those less comfortable with being out in open water. He has everyone wear a belt which aides with floating, although some took it off, and offered yet another floatation board. We saw fish and turtles galore! The whole experience was 10 out of 10, from the communication before hand to the talk after our session to go over what we saw. Paul was a pro and I would suggest this adventure to everyone!!

Educational and fun. My daughters enjoyed the excursion and got to see so many incredible marine animals and the reef. - Educational and fun. My daughters loved this experience and were able to see so much marine animals and diversity. Paul was an excellent guide and explained so much more than one may get on other excursions without the knowledge Paul brings. My daughter had taken two marine biology classes in school so she was living her dream getting to experience this

Highlight of our trip to Hawaii - Paul gave our family an incredible snorkeling experience. Helped our kids navigate using the equipment, familiarize ourselves with what we might see, and led us directly to where we could see so many different fish, coral, and turtles.
We spent our time hanging out with turtles, engaging with wildlife in a safe and respectful manner, and he took amazing photos of our dive, included in the price of the excursion! Being guided by an expert, trained marine biologist was night and day different than the other excursions we took.
We wrapped up by debriefing on the beach and looking thru a wildlife guide to identify the different fish we saw. Incredible experience and highlight of our week in Hawaii.

WORTH EVERY DOLLAR! UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE! - Paul was our guide and he was exceptional. He was extremely attentive to details, so much so that it exceeded a first class experience. Everything was very clean and instructions were easy for all levels to grasp and engage with. The most impressive experience was Paul’s knowledge, kindness, and thoughtfulness. Every member of our party learned, was engaged, and was cared for. We saw huge turtles up close and a plethora of fish. Paul also took photos and sent them to us the same day as part of the package. THIS IS WORTH EVERY DOLLAR!

Amazing snorkeling adventure with a marine biologist - Our marine biologist snorkel guide Paul was amazing! This is the snorkel tour you want to book when visiting Maui. Easy directions and great communication beforehand. Friendly and thorough instructions before snorkeling begins. I felt ready and prepared once we got in the water. All the gear is provided so all you have to do is show up! Paul is so knowledgeable on all the sea creatures we encountered including sea turtles and a variety of fishes. Amazing time and would definitely recommend snorkeling with Paul!!

Mentor of the Deep — Paul Made the Ocean Come Alive! - Paul made our snorkeling experience absolutely spectacular! From the moment we met him, we felt completely safe and confident in his expertise. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, explains everything in a way that builds trust, and truly makes learning fun. He was especially amazing with the kids—encouraging their curiosity, inspiring their dreams of becoming marine biologists, and mentoring them with patience and enthusiasm. An unforgettable adventure with an incredible guide and mentor. Highly recommend! 🌊🐠
