Excellent Beginners Kayak / Snorkeling experience - In short the experience was amazing 10/10 recommend. Now to the details: Booking for my wife and I was done through Hyatt Experience was seamless and received the confirmation email as well as the ticket right away. Called the day before(per the email) and they confirmed the details of the location and instructions via text. Very friendly and even got myself an upgrade to the see through kayak. Parking was easy. This is not an intense kayak experience it’s laid back but filled with incredible knowledge that Jason shares passionately. We were able to catch a turtle or 2 peaking however, it’s more exciting when you do the Snorkeling The experience includes snacks such as fruit bars and pineapple (was out of this world but all pineapple in Maui is amazing). Snorkeling included all needed gear and they even add anti fogging solution. The snorkeling was awesome we were able to capture green sea turtles eating / just hanging around. Jason shared his knowledge of marine life and even got us a few that we could actually touch / hold : Sea Cucumber / Starfish. We were 4 hours in, if it wasn’t because most of the members from the tour tired out he would have kept going! -Gabrielle’s Ohana team - thank you guys for amazing experience. Next time we come to Maui we will book with you again 🙏

Incredible experience that's a must - What an incredible experience!! Parking was easy and had ample of space. We did areive a little bit early and still were greeted with a inviting warm welcome. Checking in for our tour was completely smooth. All equipment was provided from reef safe mineral sunblock, dry bag, life jackets, and for snorkeling fins, goggles , aint- fog solution, breathing tube. Jason was a book of knowledge. Really appreciated learning about the eco system, all the coral, fish, and the islands surrounding us. Jason and his crew really was able to cater to all needs and periodically checking in to make sure we all felt safe and ok to going further out while snorkeling, very attentive. I can not express enough how much I recommend this tour.... p.s. there evening tours to watch stars and see more how cool is that!! Mahalo for making us feel like we belonged 🥰🤟🐢🌺✨️

Beautiful reef, turtles, and great kayak guide! - We had an incredible time with Gabriel, who guided us over the reefs and shared so much about the history of the area, beautiful waters with sea life and showed us so many turtles. We snorkeled around, always feeling safe, and had such a great time. His dad, Jason, is awesome, friendly and welcoming--we love supporting local businesses like theirs, this trip is a must-go!

Incredible reefs, would recommend! - My wife and I took this kayak and snorkel tour during our honeymoon on Maui. Jason and his sons and incredibly knowledgeable and kind. We saw so many incredible animals, including several kinds of turtles! Would also recommend the snorkeling in addition to the kayaking. Gabriel identified several cool animals among the reef and even let us hold a sea urchin! This excursion was definitely one of the highlights of our trip!

Clear bottom kayaking - Wonderful family run business, informative and beautiful views. The pontoons create great stability for beginner kayakers. As a more experienced kayaker I’d prefer no pontoons and the option for a single person kayak verses only dual kayak.
