John was amazing!! I was super nervous going in but he makes you feel very comfortable. Super nice and funny and very knowledgeable about everything. We saw lots of whales but got too windy to see turtles. Either way just kayaking in the ocean was a great experience. If I ever come back I would definitely go again.

We had such a great time on our kayaking adventure! John was a fantastic guide! He was knowledgeable, very experienced, and fun. He also had a great sense of humor. We booked this for our honeymoon. I don't necessarily like snorkeling, but my husband does. And I love to kayak, so I thought this was a good "give and take." He took his time to really prepare us for kayaking and to let us know what to expect, which I appreciated. We were part of a great group of people, which I believe helped make this experience an amazing one (: I will say that we actually didn't end up going snorkeling because the winds started to pick up and the waters were getting pretty choppy when we decided to start snorkeling. Instead we did some WHALE WATCHING! We saw Christmas whales! Humpback whales, a mommy and her baby. Honestly, one of the most beautiful sights I have seen. John said it was a once in a lifetime opportunity, and I could not have been happier. My husband was a little bummed we didn't go snorkeling, but he enjoyed the whale watching. We were as close as we could be (100 yards), and we were able to see the baby come up from the water multiple times and the mom also came up a couple of times. Really really recommend! I would definitely do this again when we come back. AMAZING!

I cannot say enough good things about this tour. John was helpful and kind and brought us to perfect turtle-sighting spots, and he also just let us chill on the water and enjoy the views of Molokini and the surrounding scenery. My five year-old daughter and I got to swim with bunch of turtles, eels, and gorgeous fish. We had an absolutely perfect morning. (And it happened to be my birthday, which John kindly celebrated with our fellow kayakers...) Thank you, John, for a great time!
