Guide John was wonderful in leading us on a kayak tour. Having never gone kayaking before, I was not certain what to expect. John was always willing to answer a question and help us get accustomed to paddling. He is a skilled snorkeled and photographer, in addition to kayaker.

Educational experience with John who informed our group about Hawaiian culture and history, marine ecosystem and provided an excellent and thorough safety and instructional overview of how to kayak and snorkel. I have taken H.A.T (high adventure training) kayaking and the instructors where a former Navy Seal and Ranger. John's emphasis on safety and how to use the paddle, kayak, snorkeling gear where par to H.A.T. John provided our family the ohana experience and we thoroughly enjoyed seeing the green turtles. We now know how to identify the male and female turtles based on the size of their tales, debunked our misconception that the turtle's shell would protect it from it's primary predator sharks and learned about the Romeo-Juliet fish that mate for life. Thank you, John!

The weather hadn't been too great during our trip - very windy. Our original tour was cancelled due to high winds. Luckily we had time to reschedule for two days later, and the Maui Kayaks was very accommodating. Our guide John was excellent to say the least. Being my first time kayaking, I was a little nervous on how we would get out and back in to shore when watching the incoming waves. John gave get instructions, and waded out with us to assist. I overheard members of a different tour group not get such great assistance and spoke of getting hit with waves during disembarking. John truly loves what he does and is a wealth of information (ask him lots of questions, he likes that). He kinda reminds me of the sting ray teacher from finding Nemo. We will definitely book again with Maui Kayaks the next time we are in Maui.
