Maui Kayaks West Maui Whale Watching Tour & Reef Snorkel [Jan - Mar]
Wonderful experience. Highly recommended
Reviewed by: Y. Bashir
The tour guide took us into the ocean beyond the cruise ship (as in the picture below). We saw whales and heard a whale singing from under the Kayaks. Most beautiful experience. I’m not a pro at kayaking, but the guide was always looking out to keep us up with the more avid kayakers. He had all the answers to our questions. Could not snorkel that day as the water was murky. Had a wonderful time. I would do it all over again given the chance.

Great way to spend a morning on the beautiful blue water of Wailea. We saw turtles swimming around us, whales off in the distance, and held a pencil urchin. The guys that run this are so nice and knowledgeable. Highly recommend them.

Maui Ocean Kayak, Snorkel & Rainforest Hike with Waterfall Swim Eco-Adventure
Great experience!
Reviewed by: Jinanne
This was an incredibly fun experience. What a great way to see the island. The first half was kayaking and snorkeling which was so fun—Jeremiah (Miah) was a knowledgeable and patient instructor. The second half was lunch and then a water fall hike with Nick from HikeMaui—Nick was a kind and intelligent guide and taught us so much about Maui. We also toured a farm and learned a lot about fruits and botany grown in Hawaii. 10/10 experience.

South Maui Kayaking & Turtle Snorkeling Tour with Seasonal Whale Watching
We saw so many turtles!!
Reviewed by: Deed
This was a wonderful adventure that added such fun to our stay in Maui. We stayed on the west side but made the 1 hour drive to make memories. And what great memories and pictures we have! This was the perfect amount of time! A total of 3 hours. Some paddling and some snorkeling. For a family of 4, two of which were kids, this was the best kayak trip around. Our guide/teacher made the trip even better. Jake was knowledgeable about the area, made conversation and connections with everyone in our group. He was very confident and thorough with what to expect and what we would need to do to maintain safety. He engaged the kids and even brought of ocean life for them to explore!

Pure magic
Reviewed by: Sarah F
Cole was our tour guide, he was extremely informative and helpful. We were nervous not knowing how difficult the paddle was going to be but it truly was easy. We paddled over to the turtle cleaning station and we’re amazed at all the turtles we literally just hanging out with. Cole showed us different sea life and explained the history of the surrounding islands. It was the best tour we had during all our trips, clear waters, lots of coral and mostly turtles!!! We highly recommend

South Maui Kayaking & Turtle Snorkeling Tour with Seasonal Whale Watching
Turtletastic!
Reviewed by: Karen & Randy
Our tour guide Matt was remarkably knowledgeable of both the local marine life and also local folklore, history and geography.
He guided us to two spots where we were snorkeling an arms length from some of the most beautiful sea turtles I have ever seen. The best part was because our group was small and coming off of kayaks, we had the entire area to ourselves for the most part. It was truly a breath taking experience.
Matt was engaging, funny, patient and willing to answer any and all questions we all had. I will definitely be doing this tour again, the next time I am in Maui. You will NOT be disappointed! Great value for money - an incredible experience!

rusty was great!
Reviewed by: Matt and Alicia
Had a rainy start to the morning, but it ended up a beautiful day. Started with a trip out from shore to try and see some whales. Sadly we didn't see any, but we were able to hear them calling under us, which was amazing! Snorkeling was great, rusty was able to point out to us some of the reef life that often gets missed and was great about getting us into the water. Great time!

South Maui Kayaking & Turtle Snorkeling Tour with Seasonal Whale Watching
Disappointed
Reviewed by: Allie
I booked the west side snorkel safari online and was initially booked into the wrong time slot due to a glitch in the system. This wasn't a big deal. They were very helpful in sorting this out and assured me that they were working on fixing the glitch. The morning of the tour however, I took a taxi out to the meeting point only to be told that the trip was canceled due to high winds (it seemed calm to me, but I'm not an experienced ocean kayaker) $55 later I was back where I started. To be fair, they did try to phone me, but I did not have my phone turned on because I was trying to avoid roaming charges. I do not feel that one attempted phone call is sufficient customer service. I would have appreciated an email (this is how I had been communicating with the company from the beginning). I would suggest that anyone booking a similar tour contact the office before you leave in the morning to confirm that it will proceed as scheduled.

Lots of fun
Reviewed by: Laura
Kayaking tour guide was friendly and informative. He gave us simple directions for basic kayaking and we did well. We followed him away from the crowd up the coast to clearer waters. Saw all kinds of fish, he pointed out a turtle, and also gave us information about the islands. Just the right amount of time. We were also given juice. One item to improve upon is cleaner snorkels as our friend found hair on hers. Although we snorkeled near our hotel and saw as many fish and turtles we enjoyed this kayaking experience.

South Maui Snorkel & Kayak: South Shore Explorer
Reviewed by: Caitlin Stein
I would give this 4 1/2 stars! My husband and I ended up getting a private tour because no one else signed up! Our guide was great (didn't give name)-he constantly was bringing things back up to the surface to show us and was very knowledgable about anything we asked about. I had a very personal and special experience with a female turtle while snorkeling and we saw some while kayaking, but I thought we would see more at the turtle cleaning station. Would recommend this to anyone with experience. The total time was good but we wish it could have been a little longer-our guide didn't want us to be on choppy waters. Our tour was around 3 hrs. They provide you with snacks and water. Our guide was snapping pictures for us and will e-mail them to us for free! Can't wait to see them! Mahalo to our guide and this company!!
Tip: After you are done, ask your guide about the Jaws Food Truck-delicious fish tacos and burritos with snacks and smoothies!

Snorkel & Kayak with Picnic
Reviewed by: Lois
A delightful small group of six experience. John was right on top of everything- He was knowledgable on how to use all the equipment and guided us to the best-ever reef for snorkeling.
We saw many whales and two even gently surfaced about 15 feet away from our kayak.
The reef was beautiful and very active with sealife- including giant turtles that hung around to greet us as we snorkled.
Refreshing fresh food picnic. Best deli-style turkey sandwhich ever!

I have never kayaked or snorkeled before. The kayaking was great the instructor/guide went over everything with us. I liked it so much I will start doing it here at home. My wife loved the snorkeling. I had a bit of an issue in the begging because I sink in water so once I put the life vest on I was good to go. I recommend a gopro camera for some unforgettable footage.
