I can’t say enough great things about Kevin Hope and his crew and how much I enjoyed the tour! The canoes were beautiful and in great shape, the views of the coastline were amazing, and the crystal clear calm waters allowed the perfect opportunity to see sea life. Kevin knew exactly where to go to see a bunch of turtles. Not only was the paddling experience calming and peaceful but Kevin is a wealth of knowledge for Hawaiian history and tradition. His friendly personality slides humor in with the education which makes it that much more interesting and fun. If you haven’t yet, you better book your tour now because it is the best around and fills up quickly! Have some fun, respect the island and it’s native people, see amazing views, and enjoy.
