One of a kind snorkel spot with knowledgeable marine biologist - Paul was excellent! We went as a couple and are relatively experienced snorkelers but a family that had never been snorkeling before also joined and he did a wonderful job of assisting themon the snorkel while making it a complete and fun experience for us too! We saw tons of fish, coral (learned a lot about the reef!) and turtles!! Great spot and great guide. You “launch” ie walk in right from the beach and he navigates you through coral beds until you reach a very cool destination. Also reviews all the wildlife you saw at the end so you learn a lot about the ecosystem too :) highly recommend. And he took great photos of us as well and sent them to us quickly!

Turtle Cleaning Station Was Amazing - It was just four of us and Sara, our guide. The wife in the other party had an issue with her mask and got a little anxious. Sara hustled back to the car and retrieved a new one and all was fine. As for the time in the water, Sara was very knowledgeable about everything. It was a treat to learn about the different things she pointed out. Lots of turtles and cool fish, with the turtle cleaning station being the highlight. I would definitely do this trip again, and would recommend it to anyone wanting to see turtles and marine life. Mahalo, Sara!

Bespoke snorkeling - Great experience with a marine biologist! I am a competent swimmer, but never snorkeled in the ocean before. Took the time to explain and help with technique so we could really enjoy the wildlife.
Experience is from the shoreline, no loading up on a boat going to a spot, etc. Spend more time doing the fun things!
Also, photos are taken for you and sent to you so you have them as a memory, but you’re not trying to become an underwater photographer!
Would definitely recommend! Small enough group to tailor it to the interest of the folks there.

Exceptional Experience to see and learn about the reefs and life of Maui - Exceptional experience: Paul gave brief, but key information about the reef, provided excellent equipment, and then guided us to a particularly beautiful part of the reef-we saw turtles getting "cleaned" by fish, and many fish. He stopped periodically to give us brief info about what we were seeing.

Great off beach snorkel experience for all ages - Excellent snorkel over coral reefs. Paul was very knowledgeable about the reefs and underwater life. It was refreshing to see reefs teaming with life.
Paul provided clean, fresh equipment and it was very easy to enter and exit the site from the beach. I do not think I would have found the reef on my own.
Under the sea life is fascinating and Paul made the experience safe, educational and fun!! Very clear photos too. Mahalo

Snorkel trip w/marine biologist - Paul was very excellent with communication, letting me know where and when to meet via text message….when I arrived he had all the snorkel equipment neatly organized and ready to use. Everything was very clean and he even had a rinse station to freshen up afterwards.
I especially liked the fact that he was very knowledgeable about what we would be seeing and doing when we snorkled. He is a marine biologist and his education was helpful explaining the coral reefs, fish, turtles etc….
I have snorkeled many times in Hawaii and I feel this was the best snorkel over healthy reefs. I especially liked being able to access the reef from shore (instead of a kayak). I would recommend this to anyone wanting to see as much as you can on a 2 hour snorkel outing
Btw the pictures he took were awesome!! So clear!
