John Hess was an amazing guide. I lived on Maui for 20 years, boat captain, scuba instructor and was out on the water everyday. John was so knowledgeable and my friends wanted to see an octopus, sure enough he found them!!!! I had the best time with our private tour and snorkeling, quiet, relaxing, no one else in the water where he took us. I would go out again and again...highly recommend.
