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.

🐢 - First, you’l see plenty of sealife and the views are breathtaking! Of note, these guys are working really hard to provide you with a great experience! If you’ve never sat on a kayak before and never put on googles or a snorkel mask, I suggest you say something before you get out on the water. Also show up on time! Red sends out plenty of reminders with details and updates prior to the tour! When you get back on the kayak, you get back on the one you left with, you don’t just pick a random one! Common people! Recommendation to team, do a quick intro and test run in shallow water with group and have everybody put on their snorkel gear and their face in the water. Also have people get on and off the kayak once, close to shore, before hitting the spots.

Sea turtles and views - Had a great time, our guide Wes was great! He found the sea turtles! I was having issues with the underwater phone case I rented and he took care of it on the kayak! The views of the mountains from the water are beautiful!

Great to see turtles and fish! - You really do need to be an experienced kayaker. They were very patient with everyone in our 13 group party. There is one guide and he was working really hard to help everyone. You must be able to pull yourself into your kayak on your own in the ocean. We saw lots of fish, eel, and tons of sea turtles. This is more than we have ever seen on any snorkeling tour in Maui. They have under water phone cases that work great! Teenage kids got in easily. It’s a lot of work for young children. Weather was great, water felt fine. We did not wear rash guards.

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.
