Really enjoyed this experience! We was kayaking and snorkeling for first ever in our lifetime. Even that I am afraid from deep water and not the best swimmer, already after 30min was feeling safe and enjoyed beautiful ocean life. Thanks to our guide. We saw turtles, baby octopus, stingray and lot more. Would definitely recommend!

Small group, with very individualized attention for the members in my group. Guide kept close eye on us all, providing a safe experience. Provided us with cultural and ecological info (pertinent to the area we were in). While giving us freedom to explore our environs.

I have been on a number of snorkel trips over the years. This one was by far the best. We had originally booked the Honalua paddle, but weather issues there forced us to choose a different tour. We chose Mākena because I had never explored that area; it is gorgeous. We came from Kaanapali area and the drive was worth it. John Hess was our guide and he really made the difference. He was warm, encouraging and was like a private guide. He instructed us, all the while reminding us how well we were doing even as he provided gentle correction. He demonstrated that his greatest desire was to share his love of the ocean, sea life and paddling with each of us. He was really committed to our success and enjoyment. And we always felt safe. We took the 4 hr tour which was NOT too long. The extra hour gave us time to enjoy and explore. I recommend it. The paddling was not too challenging for this 58 year old woman. Others on the tour were middle aged and moderately fit. It was all good. I visit Hawaii every year. I will definitely do this paddle trip with John Hess when I return!
