We chose the 4 hours kayaking and snorkeling tour. We were 2 families of 5 with John as our guide. He was very knowledgeable and explained the morning and the basics of kayaking and snorkeling. Our first 2 hours were whale watching and we tracked down 2 large humpback whales. Amazing!! They were as close as 50 feet away at times and were swimming beneath our kayaks. The last 2 hours were snorkeling along the reef near Wailea/Makena. Unbelievable sightings including lots of sea turtles, eels, and octopus, not to mention hundreds of tropical fish. John picked up the octopus and let each of us hold it which was unbelievable. John was very knowledgeable about aquatic life, kayaking, and the area. Highly recommend requesting him as a guide.
