Gabriel was very... - Gabriel was very informative about the coral, explaining the different types. He also helped ensure that we were all able to fight the stronger than normal current. His mom stayed on shore to watch our personal effects. Beautiful experience and we would recommend to all levels of experience.

The father and son duo... - The father and son duo were fantastic! Both of them super down to earth and made a connection with kids and one other girl around their love for K-POP and Anime. My family and I enjoyed each aspect of event. It’s a must try.

The BEST Kayak and snorkel tour! - Jason and his sons were amazing and led a highly informative, entertaining, and well organized morning for our group. The calm clear waters and extensive reefs of the hidden gem of Olowalu were perfect, and Jason’s knowledgeable explanations and many stories enriched the experience greatly. The most memorable aspect we enjoyed was the deep generosity of spirit, time, and warmth given to our whole family. Our two sons kept talking enthusiastically about Jason and the incredible snorkeling tour that he guided long afterwards. We look forward to staying in touch for our future visits to Maui (and great tips for travel to Japan too!). Mahalo!

Best Day Ever - Due to weather, we were unable to do the kayaking portion but we LOVED the snorkeling. Guides were patient and helpful, even with my weary 6 year old. This was a final activity in Maui and, it did not disappoint!

Highlight of our trip!!! - Absolutely amazing experience and THE highlight of our trip to Maui. Our Maui trip would not have been the same without this tour. This was the first time that my girlfriend and I went kayaking and snorkeling. We were a little worried at first as neither of us are strong swimmers, but Jason made sure we were safe and comfortable. Before we knew it we were snorkeling out in the ocean and admiring Maui's "Mother Reef" at Olowalu, which was truly an experience that I'll never forget. Jason is such a fun person to talk to and throughout the tour he will teach you about the ocean and its creatures (you even get to hold some of them!). He is always checking to make sure everyone is safe and is super patient with everyone, especially with first-time snorkelers. If you are hesitant because you have never been in the ocean, there is no reason at all to be worried. Looking back, if we chose not to do this tour with Jason, we definitely would have regretted that decision. Probably the only experience we would consider doing again if we came back to Maui one day 😊
