Would do it again! 100% recommend - Paul was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable. In addition to leading us through the reef, he took pictures with his gopro of the wildlife that we saw, and it was amazing to have those photos as a souvenir. We saw a sting ray, eel, turtles, lots of fish, and even a seal napping on the beach. Very unique and personal experience compared to the big boating excursions. We went right from the shore, so the whole experience was only about two hours. Highly recommend!!!!

A great enjoyable and educational experience ! - Our experience with Paul was truly exceptional. He was incredibly attentive, making sure everyone in our group was comfortable and well taken care of. It was my husband's first time snorkeling, and he had a fantastic time. We also saw plenty of sea turtles and around 15 different species of fish . We highly recommend Paul and his expertise for both beginners and seasoned snorkelers—you won’t regret it. In addition to creating wonderful memories, he provided us with valuable insights into the area and marine life, making the trip both enjoyable and educational.

BEST snorkeling experience!!! - Paul was an amazing guide. I am not a strong swimmer and was recovering from an injury and Paul made sure to check-in with me. He stopped a few times to tell us about the fish and coral reefs. He then guided us to the turtle cleaning station where we got lucky and saw not one but five turtles. Paul did a great job of explaining all the steps and the reasons for them. It was by far the BEST snorkeling experience I’ve ever had.

The BEST snorkeling Experience! - OMG! This is the best snorkeling experience I’ve ever had. I am not a strong swimmer and was recovering from an injury. I told Paul up front and he made sure to check on me throughout but I had no issues. He explains everything before and as you go. He took us to the turtle cleaning station and we got lucky and saw not just one but 5 turtles. I highly recommend.

Loved this tour! Paul is amazing!!👏🏻🤿💙 - A huge thank you to Paul for the absolute best snorkeling experience on our first trip to Maui. This was the highlight of our trip! For me, it had been a long time snorkeling, and for my 17 year old daughter, it was her first time and she was very nervous. We were both hesitant before arriving because we didn’t know what to expect with swimming with sea turtles, but she’s always talked about sea turtles and I wanted to do it for her, and so glad we did! Paul went above and beyond to make everyone feel safe, comfortable, & informed on how to use the equipment and everything else along the way. We learned a ton of cool things about the fish and coral reef life specific to Hawaii. And also learned what he does as a marine biologist with the Maui ocean center and the projects they are doing on the coral reef. So interesting and so fun! We loved it! And it’s hard to impress my 17 year old:) We will for sure book with Paul when we visit again! Also, he takes awesome pictures with his go pro and sends them to you! I highly recommend this experience!🤙🏻

Paul was an amazing... - Paul was an amazing instructor and tour guide. I have never felt more prepared for a tour, as Paul was proactive every step of the way. Once we were in the water, he was able to guide us to amazing coral reefs and teach about the fish we were seeing on the fly. We will definitely be coming back to see Paul and the reef again next time.

A winning experience - Paul was absolutely awesome. Very informative about the marine life he was showing us. My 10 year old was a little nervous to do this but within minutes felt very comfortable. Great experience and would highly recommend to chose this guy.

We had great time all... - We had great time all together. We saw several turtles and many different kinds of fish. The equipments are top notch, clean and easy to use. The around waist floats are much better and comfortable than floating vest.
It’s much better experience than our snorkeling tours before. There were only 9 people totally with two guides. Even the little kids who were first time snorkeling were having fun.
Since my wife is very easy to get seasickness, this tour is perfect since we don’t need to take a boat ride.
They even have a big tank of water for quick shower at the end.
Really like the small group and very efficient, thoughtful arrangement. Highly recommended!!!
