Awesome to see underneath the kayak as you pass over the reefs. So fun! - This was such an amazing and unique experience to see through the kayak as you glide over beautiful reefs. Curtis and Kyle really made our experience super fun educating us on the history of the island and different fish species. Super fun to snorkel and listen to the whales. I went with my family and everyone had the best time.

Amazing Experience, Kyle was an awesome patient guide - Kyle was absolutely amazing! I have not swam in 15 years and was nervous about getting into the water and snorkeling. Kyle kindly and calmly helped me get in and out of my kayak and showed me some techniques to get the most out of my snorkeling experience, even with my life jacket on. I was able to see a lot of turtles, fish and coral and it was an unforgettable experience! Thank you, Kyle! We will be back during our next visit!

Don't miss this experience! - This clear kayak tour is a must-do experience on Maui! Tiffany and Curtis are the best, So friendly and laidback. My girlfriend and I went out on this tour and we had a great small group with just a few others. Pace was good for everyone and Curtis shared some interesting knowledge of the Oluwalu area as we were paddling. Snorkeling was perfect, super clear water and so many fish. We saw turtles and Curtis even showed us a reef shark sleeping on the bottom! So many people do snorkeling tours from big catamarans, but this is a great way to get out there and experience the underwater world of Maui in a more exclusive way.
