Our guide didn’t seem very knowledgeable, and didn’t make a real attempt to see turtles, while the canoe in front of us had a much more experienced guide, learned history about the island, saw turtles etccc. It was disappoint overall for us and not necessarily something I would recommend.

Kruz was great in getting back to me via text the night before to ensure me that can accommodate my 2 children. He also informed me to maybe do a earlier slot to avoid the high wind later in the day. Certainly made the experiment a whole lot smoother and enjoyable. When I got lost getting there, Kruz was also very helpful in helping me find his location. The lady who is the tour guide/steermen was also wonderful. I would definitely recommend it.

This was a wonderful experience with friendly, knowledgeable staff and a super service! The trip out on the outrigger was a lot of fun and we saw some huge turtles up close when out on the ocean, and also a barracuda. As well as being an excellent guide, Kevin taught us some traditional Hawaiian chants and lots about Hawaiian history. This was a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend Hawaiian Ocean Sports! 🌺
