A must go to adventure - This was hands down a relaxing yet exciting experience. Having a more private tour guide is something I wanted to experience aside from the bigger excursions. Shelby was very down to earth, knowledgeable, and very friendly. She guided me and my gf discovering other sea life I wasn’t able to see elsewhere. I highly recommend this tour to anyone and I would do it again on my next trip to Maui! Aloha!

Exceptional Snorkeling Guide - We had the absolute pleasure of having Shelby as our snorkeling tour guide, and I can’t recommend her enough! Our group was a mix of experienced and novice snorkelers, and Shelby handled it perfectly, making sure everyone felt comfortable and had an amazing time. The night before our excursion, Shelby went above and beyond by reaching out to suggest a change in location due to a swell that would have made the water murky at our original spot. Thanks to her expertise and thoughtful planning, we ended up snorkeling in crystal-clear waters that were full of vibrant fish and turtles. Shelby didn’t just guide us—she made the experience unforgettable by capturing stunning photos of us swimming with the fish and turtles, all included in the price. Her attention to detail and genuine care for her clients set her apart. If you’re looking for a private snorkeling tour guide who truly caters to your party’s needs and ensures you have an incredible experience, Shelby is the one to book. We had an unforgettable day, and it was all thanks to her!

The best by far!! - Shelby is fantastic!! She treats you to a five star experience on the beach with drinks, snacks, friendly conversation and knowledge of what you are about to see while snorkeling. She will take tons of pictures and videos of you and all the see life you’ll see! You might be lucky enough to swim with a turtle or 2!!! I highly recommend Shelby’s tour! 😊

Outstanding! Fun! - Outstanding! We visited Maui last year and chose a group style shore snorkel out of the same area and it was very uncomfortable. The guide we had wasn’t able to give us much guidance and felt more like a pump them through type of tour. We decided to choose a more private hands on experience with Shelby this time around and it was so so much more fun. It was just the two of us and we were able to ask Shelby questions at any time and she made us feel very comfortable in the water (being from Inland California)! She has excellent knowledge and felt more like a new friend to us than a tour guide. I would recommend using her and her route to anybody especially if you’re looking for more of a personal experience. We were able to ask questions without feeling embarrassed in a group of people and just made for an all around better snorkel trip into the water. She is so sweet and fun to be around and you can see her passion for the ocean.

Awesome Experience! - What an amazing experience! This was my first time snorkeling, not used to being in the ocean and was honestly a little scared at first. Booked the private snorkel so I could hopefully have more of a personalized experience since this was my first time. Wow! Shelby definitely delivered. She gave me the one-on-one attention I needed to feel comfortable in the water. I am so glad that I booked the private tour instead of one of the large group tours. It's definitely worth the price. Shelby knows the best beaches to snorkel from and where all the incredible turtles hang out. She does a great job letting you know the do's and don't while your in the water and delivers an awesome underwater experience!! Especially for those like me that are not necessarily comfortable in the ocean. I'm still going through all the incredible pictures you took on our tour. Thanks so much Shelby and see you next trip!!

Best snorkel tour EVER! - I booked this tour to have a solo experience with a local guide - and, boy, did Shelby deliver! She was communicative in our pre-tour confirmation and was early to our meeting point for the tour. Although not my first, I do get a bit anxious in some water tours. Shelby’s evident knowledge and calming, attentive demeanor put me at ease during the whole tour. Shelby clearly knows and loves her island and recommended the best snorkel spot based upon conditions, and our snorkel location was amazing. We saw turtles, rays, and she found a beautiful octopus - that was so cool! Also loved that she brought some fresh snacks for us too! Really felt like a 5-star resort experience but with a good friend. Skip the group tours and book a private tour with Shelby - you will NOT regret it. I will be back to see her my next time I am in Kihei!
