I am solo traveler who loves adventure, and as such, I've been on a lot of kayaking and snorkeling trips, worldwide. The experience I had with my guide, John Shappell, was unparalleled and the trip one of my utmost highlights of my Maui vacation! John was not only a spectacular, warm, fun, and knowledgeable guide for the kayaking and snorkeling, but he's also an amazing photographer that captured every moment of my experience for me so that I could relax and be in the moment instead of trying to catch the perfect shots! We went to locations that were uncrowded and abundant with wildlife- turtles everywhere, tons of beautiful fish, and I even spotted a reef shark in time for John to get some amazing pictures and video! Truly one of my favorite kayaking tours/experiences I've ever been on, and that's saying alot! I'm already planning a return trip to Maui and I plan to go out with Maui kayaks multiple times! Mahalo to John and Maui Kayaks!
