Awesome Morning Turtle Experience - The water was great this day with not a lot of others outside of our group. John was great at giving instruction, story telling and knowing where to go. He’s a really friendly individual and goes above and beyond on making this a worthwhile experience!

Great for families. - This tour was a highlight of our trip. The amount of kayaking was perfect for our family group ages 7-72. John our guide offered to take pictures and video of our tour for a reasonable fee. As the mom and usually photographer for the group this was appreciated because I could sit back and enjoy my time knowing that all our family photos were being taken care off. We also got to see plenty of turtles and fish. The time snorkeling and paddling was well distributed. Highly recommend this tour for a family.

Fun, sun & kayaking with turtles! - What a great trip! Easy to schedule (and even re-schedule if necessary), easy to find and even easier to enjoy when they teach you to ocean kayak in a few short minutes with great instructions.
John was a great guide, generous with his assistance and with lots of info to share. So many turtles to see and great snorkeling spot too! We even flipped the kayak, but still had an amazing time! Thanks Maui Kayaks for a great morning adventure!

Incredible experience, wonderful guide! - We brought our two daughters (7 and 11). Neither had ever been kayaking or snorkeling before. Our guide Andres was very knowledgeable, helpful, patient, and very safety conscious. Our younger daughter was nervous and he helped keep her calm and and take frequent breaks so the rest of us could maximize our time. We saw a number of turtles of various sizes and it was an incredible experience!

Loved swimming with turtles! - We were looking forward to this kayak trip, it exceeded our expectations! The snorkeling was such a great experience due to Andre's advice plus swimming around all of the turtles/ fish. Such a nice guy. Gave us a great lunch recommendation too!

Maui Snorkling - The guide was great. The tour was short. Left at about 8 was bach around 10. Kayaked out around bend. Snorkeling for about 20 minutes the came back. Many areas with better snorkling from beach, save your money.

Avoid! - No one showed for our confirmed tour. Left standing on the side of the road at 7 am. - Drove an hour to the tour meeting spot only to find no one showed to provide a pre-paid tour. Called the company only to receive a shallow 'sorry, we had vehicle issues'. Same story other reviewers have had. Just book with someone else.

Total Clown Show. Didn’t show up. Avoid this company - No one from Maui Kayaks bothered to show up. We called and were told Javier might have had vehicle issues. That’s garbage. We asked for a call back to see if he would eventually show up and the dazed and confused person who answered the phone didn’t bother calling back. When we called him he told us, yeah, no one was coming. He gave us the option to rebook or receive a refund.
I wouldn’t book with this dumpster fire of an outfit for anything. It remains to be seen if he refunded our money.
