Fabulous first time snorkeling for a non swimmer - Not much to add other than my voice to the rest of the reviews - what a fantastic experience and crew! Yup, non swimmer here, yup water fear, and yup Georgia- as hearty, competent and calm instructor as you’ll ever have - made me feel completely safe and truly appreciate the experience. We got a special treat as Georgia just had the three of us so felt really personal. Don’t hesitate if you are like me looking longingly at all those people snorkeling so happily - GO for this fantastic tour.

We saw turtles!! - Perfect for new snorkelers! Our 11 year old learned how to snorkel and some cool facts about fish and turtles :) Seth was very nice and laid back which made it very comfortable. Highly recommend for families with children.

Jump in - safe & fun experience for all skill levels - I loved this experience! My husband swims well, but our 11 year daughter & I are true none swimmers with only a twinge of hope that we can enjoy snorkeling - and indeed we had a wonderful time. Our instructor Seth patiently taught us the basics of the activity, provided reassurance of safety and all that with just a right dose of humor. Regardless if you are hesitant towards water (like me) or you swim well like my husband but your family are the "nubbies" you all can have a great time participating in this snorkeling for no swimmers.

Amazing experience! - This was the highlight of our trip to Maui. One beginner swimmer and one non-swimmer signed up for the snorkel lesson/tour. Our instructor Georgia was great and took care of everyone, especially the non-swimmers. By the end of it, everyone in the group was comfortable with the water. The videographer Juliano was great too and took a lot of pictures and videos of the ground.

Ally the Non-Swimming Mermaid Instructor - I can't say enough good things about our experience with Ally. My husband, who has always been a non-swimmer, has harbored a deep fear of water for as long as I've known him. We’ve talked about overcoming this hurdle for years, but it wasn't until we met Ally that it finally became a reality.
From the moment we arrived, Ally had a calm and reassuring presence. She never once making him feel pressured or embarrassed. It was clear that she genuinely cared about helping my husband overcome his fear of the water. Ally explained every step in a way that was simple and easy to understand, breaking down the process into manageable pieces so that it didn’t feel overwhelming.
What really stood out was her incredible patience. She didn’t rush the lesson, allowing my husband to move at his own pace. When my husband was hesitant or unsure, Ally was right there with words of encouragement and helped him feel more confident. Her positive attitude and gentle approach made all the difference.
By the end of the session, not only was my husband swimming comfortably, but he was also snorkeling!uld have together, and it's all thanks to Ally and her exceptional teaching skills. To top things off, we were able to see 2 sea turtles!
If you’re looking for a snorkeling instructor who is kind, patient, and incredibly skilled at what they do, look no further than Ally. She has a true gift for teaching and a passion for helping others, which shines through in every aspect of her work. We’ll be forever grateful for the transformation she helped bring about, and I can’t recommend her highly enough to anyone—especially those who may feel hesitant or afraid of the water. This experience has opened up a whole new world of possibilities for us, and we owe it all to Ally. Thank you for giving my husband the gift of confidence and the joy of exploring the underwater world!

Great for people who are not comfortable in the water! - This was such a great intro to snorkeling for people who are not comfortable in the water or just new to snorkeling. The guide, I think her name was Ali, really made everyone feel comfortable. My husband usually doesn’t like to be in the water and was pretty sure he wouldn’t actually join us for snorkeling but he came along. i was really impressed that he felt comfortable enough to snorkel. Ali and her co-host were great with my daughters too. We saw a couple of sea turtles, lots of fish and sea urchins too which was really cool! We were given life jackets but Ali encouraged us to take them off under her supervision if we felt comfortable.

Fun & Anxious experience but worth it ! - This was overall a good experience for me. I am a non-swimmer and I ended up being anxious in deep water. But the guides were very helpful and very sweet, they helped me all the time by holding my hands at times and always being there for me whenever I needed them. Even though I was anxious being a first timer, overall I survived lol and loved trying snorkeling for the first time ! The only feedback I have is since this is meant for non-swimmers and perhaps people doing snorkeling for the first time, it would be good to spend little more time in shallow water with them before going further deep in the ocean. In the hindsight, I believe that would helped me to have a even better experience. But overall, definitely worth it and I recommend this
