Highly recommend! Very well priced, easy to navigate (mostly). Good for all experience levels. We went with our family of 4 (2 kids 12 and 5). We were scheduled to leave from Makena at 7am, but couldn't due to rough water (understandable as safety was a concern) Carlos was so sweet and clearly bummed that we couldn't go. He recommended we call Paul, the owner to get rescheduled, which we did for later in the day to go from the Lahaina location. Other than the frustrating parking (which has nothing to do with this company) it was excellent! Timothy was a great guide and took us to the perfect snorkel spot where we saw lots of turtles and fish. On the way out we got to see a monk seal. Couple tips: if you are up for learning as you go or asking questions to get help, this is a good tour for you. If you want to be "spoon fed", find a different company. We were good figuring it out (have experience kayaking, but not snorkeling). Timothy did do a quick paddling lesson at the start which was a nice review (and good for the kids), but no snorkel training (though all questions were answered well). Bottom line, definitely worth it and would go with this company again. Thanks for making our first snorkel experience a great one!

Andres was such an amazing guide and the experience was unforgettable! This was so much better than our original plan of doing it on our own. I highly recommend Andres and definitely worth it for his photos too!

This turned out to be the adventure of a lifetime. We all wanted to see whales and our guide took that objective to heart and steered us toward the appropriate areas for whale viewing. At first, the whales were shy, and it looked like it was going to be a quiet day. We paddled toward several spouts, with no major sightings above the water. Then we spotted an area with 3 spouts and made a beeline in that direction. We were close, I could saw a whale, just off to my right, toward the horizon, as its back and dorsal fin glided above the waterline. My husband and I paddled toward the whale, I could see the water swirling where it was, and I started to wonder if we should stop paddling, that we might be getting too close. Just then, RIGHT IN FRONT OUR KAYAK, a whale shot up out of the water, higher and higher it rose, like a tower. I couldn't believe my eyes, it stay suspended in the air for a second, we had a clear view of its white striped belly directly in front of us, and then it flopped over on its side with a big SWOOSH. I assumed the show was over, but no. the whale breached 6 more times, as it swam away from our group. It was a gift and a privilege to be so close to such a magnificent animal. I will never forget this experience, it was sacred and transcendent.
