Swim with turtles. - This was fabulous trip. Love the kayaking, most of us experienced but Jake still explained the safety rules where we going. He knew exactly where to go to see the turtles. I was planing to just stay in kayak, but when I realized what we would see, quickly joined the group. The turtles were gentle swimming with us. High the recommend.

Maui family trip - Our family greatly enjoyed our kayaking and snorkeling adventure with Jake as our guide. He was very patient with us which was very much appreciated since it was our first time trying this activity. Highly recommend this experience when visiting Maui. We were fortunate to see the beautiful marine life. (Ex. -Sea turtles, octopus, dolphins) Jake took some awesome pictures of our experience. Thank you!!!

Exceptional!!!! - We did the guided kayak tour and our guide was Jake! This young man was exceptional and the tour was amazing! Jake provided great safety information and was very knowledgeable about Hawaii, marine life, etc. He took us to a location that was abundant with turtles and we even saw a white tip shark (which apparently is rare in the area). Great exercise, great views, and great guide! Highly recommend this adventure!

Overall the best experience! - This was such a cool experience. I had my 10 year old daughter with me, my best friend, and mom. Three of us had never kayaked before and Tyler was so patient and helpful. My daughter had never snorkeled either and he really took his time to explain it to her. You could tell he just genuinely wanted everyone to have a great experience. It was so amazing to see the turtles! Overall such a great and memorable experience!

Better than expected - We were so fortunate to have the best weather—warm, sunny and very little wind. Our guide Tyler was friendly and knowledgeable. We saw so many turtles, too many to count. We also saw a sizeable eagle ray and colorful fish. My husband and I had the best time kayaking and snorkeling. I would highly recommend this experience and I would absolutely do it again.

So Much Fun! - I booked this tour when my original snorkeling tour got cancelled. I'm SO GLAD for that cancellation! Tyler, our guide, was GREAT! My husband and I were beginners at kayaking and snorkeling. In fact I didn't even plan to snorkel. But Tyler was great, he was so patient with us, persuaded us to snorkel and I'M SO GLAD HE DID! My husband and I had a great experience seeing turtles and fish up close and being IN the water! We lucked out with a small group (only one other couple) and beautiful weather. Tyler did a great job balancing his time between couples, the other couple was much more experienced (and younger!) than we were. I definitely recommend this tour, ask for Tyler, he was wonderful!
