Amazing snorkeling tour - We had an amazing time! Paul was great, very attentive and professional. His experience and passion for the marine life was top notch. He took his time to explain everything we came across with great detail. The turtles were so beautiful and it’s an experience our family will cherish forever! Also, the gear was clean and sanitized. We couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide! Highly recommend this snorkeling tour!

Memorable Snorkel Experience - I wanted to share what an incredible experience we had with Paul as our snorkel guide. This was our first time snorkeling with a guide, and having a marine biologist lead the tour made it even more special. Paul not only explained the different species of coral and marine life in the area but also pointed them out to us as we snorkeled, which made the experience even more engaging.
We were fortunate enough to see several turtles and a variety of other marine species, all thanks to Paul's expertise. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a memorable and informative snorkeling adventure.

I couldn’t believe my eyes!!! - This experience was INCREDIBLE!!! Paul did a fantastic job, I had a great time and learned so much about the amazing creatures we were seeing. It was hard to believe my eyes at all the amazing things around me, and Paul gave a lot of interesting context to what we were looking at. It was like being in a real life nature documentary where you can ask the narrator questions!
Paul also did an excellent job of checking in on everyone in our group and making sure we felt safe and confident, this is definitely the experience you want if you’re new to snorkeling.
Another plus, Paul took some really great pictures on his go pro.🤙🤙

So many turtles and so much fun! - We had an incredible experience snorkeling with Paul. The gear was super clean, we felt comfortable in the water and he provided so much cool information about marine life. The turtle spa was amazing. We had an easy swim from the shore; no boat required. Recommend for anyone who loves marine life, including families. Great value and would love to do it again!

Fantastic snorkel tour to see turtles - Paul and Julie were awesome. Paul was excellent, explaining what we were going to do and ensuring everyone was comfortable. My sister was nervous and they went out of his way to check and make sure she was ok. He knows the site very well. Gear was in great condition. They were really safety conscious both for group and for reef and turtles. We had an awesome snorkel. Saw lots of turtles plus other fish. At the end of the trip, they reviewed what we had seen, which was really appreciated. Would highly recommend this trip!

Underwater paradise with an amazing guide - The instructor was terrific! The gear was better than we’ve found anywhere else on the island and he was so knowledgeable on all of the reef and sea life. The water was crystal clear and we learned about all different kinds of species, we even got to observe plenty of turtles! We received professional-looking photos with no additional charge at the end and will be back next time we visit Maui.

Amazing experience - We met up with our guide who was friendly, helpful and incredibly knowledgeable. She ensured everyone was comfortable and safe. We were supplied with flippers, facemask and snorkel and floatation. We were given an introduction to all the marine life we might see, we were led out safely to get comfortable with the equipment and then we swam out around 400m to see the turtles, and so much more.
