A knowledgable and kind guide, a beautiful reef, turtles galore, and even a giant eel - what an amazing experience! - Paul took my husband and me along with our two sons (7 and 10) and two others out on a breathtaking and very enjoyable snorkel tour of the beautiful reef at Olowalu. He knew just where to go so that we had an easy swim along a "sandy path" through the reef to the turtle cleaning "station" and made sure we avoided any shallow coral reef areas. We saw so many fish along the way and even a beautiful giant eel as well as of course many turtles once we reached our destination. He came prepared with gear, flotation, and an underwater camera for photos and he even pulled our 7-year old on the way in and out to help keep him from getting too tired. We felt very safe and taken care of, learned a lot, and truly enjoyed ourselves - there has already been much talk about planning to take the tour with Paul again on our next trip to Maui! Thank you Paul!!

Great Snorkeling Tour. - Our guides were knowledgeable and friendly. We were able to see a variety of fish and some turtles at the reef. Also the coral was spawning when we were at the reef. It was the perfect amount of time. My grandson and I enjoyed the snorkeling very much and it was nice not to have to go out on a boat to see a reef.

Definitely Recommended - Paul was our guide and was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable and made sure we understood what we were viewing. It was a great spot and the pictures he took are included in the price of the ticket! The tour left from the shore rather than a boat, which I thought was pretty cool.

Interesting snorkel tour away from mass tourism - Away from mass tourism, we enjoyed a very private snorkeling tour with Paul as a family. The event was postponed for one day due to unsettled seas. Then we had best conditions. paul showed us the fish and turtles and told us a lot about it. The equipment was very pleasant and clean. We received underwater photos. It was a crowning conclusion to our holiday.
