Such a phenomenal experience!

This was a really great experience! I had a lot of anxiety at first because I had never been snorkeling before and I have a fear of open water. But I conquered that and had the most amazing time! The clear kayaks were really cool and give you a chance to see what you’ll be swimming around. It’s amazing passing over top of the rocks. Snorkeling was such an experience! I swam up close to sea turtles and saw some really cool fish, some right along the top of the water even. The tour guide was great and very informative and funny with several “dad jokes”. My only complaint and reason for not giving it five stars is because I felt the snorkeling should have been longer. Roughly 30 minutes wasn’t that long and being a first timer I had to take most of the time trying to adjust and get comfortable with my snorkel. I didn’t get to use my camera to take photos or videos and while the guide did (just pics but great quality pics) it of course (and understandably) comes with an extra price. So I think for the price of the excursion it should have allowed for a little more time in the water. But overall it is an absolutely phenomenal experience and I highly recommend you trying it out!

Snorkeling with the Turtles
Chris_Z
, Aug 2022
I liked the snorkeling part of the tour. It was fun to see multiple turtles and many types of tropical fish. Our guides were great. They kept us safe and out of trouble and made the excursion very enjoyable. Great people. The kayaks are made of clear plastic so you can see the bottom from the kayak. The snorkeling gear was of good quality and I had no problems with it. I didn't bring along a waterproof camera but I would highly recommend bringing/buying one. A goPro would be a good option.

We had a great time! Derek was a wonderful guide. We saw several sea turtles, a lot of different fish, some beautiful coral. The water we kayaked in was crystal clear; you're over 15-40ft deep water and can see all the way to the bottom. Absolutely breathtaking to see a sea turtle swim below you and then get to swim with them later. Highly recommend this tour.

My husband and I were first timers with the whole Kayak experience. It was an amazing time as we kayak through the water to get to a point where we snorkel and see the sea turtles, fish, and other sea life. Derek, our guide, was incredibly patient and kind. Definitely worth it!!

Clear bottom kayaking is a perfect way to see both land & sea. The waters crystal clear allowing you to see numerous marine life from within the boat. Calvin was an excellent tour guide. He was very informative about the marine life and formation of the island. He made the experience memorable.

Stick with regular kayaks
Rick_R

The clear boats are a cool idea, but less then ideal as a kayak. You slide around and it isn’t at stable as regular ones. If your goal is to go out far to get close to whales, these arent it.

Aloha Rick and thank you for your constructive review/feedback. I am sorry to hear that you were sliding around in your clear kayak seat. We do instruct our tour guides to make sure everyone is comfortable in their seats and to adjust and tighten straps on the seats as needed. If the straps are not tightened then yes you will slide around. We apologize that you had that experience. Yes our clear kayaks are definitely unique. Many of our customers share their fantastic experiences during whale season of getting close to whales in our clear kayaks. However, I understand if you were sliding around in your seat then a longer paddle out to whales would not have felt comfortable. Mahalo Tiffany

Beautiful Unique Experience!
Amanda_K
, Mar 2022
What a fun experience! We saw a whole show of a mama whale teaching the baby whale how to tail slap. We did the kayaking at Olowalu beach, which had a beautiful reef and a view of a valley behind it. I opted out for the snorkeling experience, but the kayaks were just as clear seeing from on top of the water. Calvin was our tour guide and he was very informative and wanted to make sure we were safe. Although I risked it and did not bring my phone in a water safe bag/pouch, I highly recommend this. The only thing is, count on the tour possibly ending later than expected, as we missed our next tour after that because we didn't get to leave until 30 minutes later than expected.

Aloha Amanda and thanks for sharing such a lovely review. So happy to hear you had such a great time with guide Kalvin and you were able to witness the beautiful whales! I am so sorry to hear you missed your next tour though! We do train our guides to have everybody in from the tours by 10am, however occasionally a tour guide may try to "fit more in" for their guests and the tour may end a little later. We encourage the guides to ask guests during the tour if they need to be back right on 10am so that we can avoid situations like you experienced where you missed your 2nd tour. We apologize for this and I will i form our guides again regarding this. Tiffany

A beautiful day for an adventure
Kari_D
, Mar 2022
The location had to change due to weather conditions, but we were notified as well in advance as possible. We got out on the water at just the right time, as the whales were putting on quite the surround show. Snorkeling was quite the show as soon as we hopped out of the kayak, including views of a passing Manta Ray. The fish were a bit too far down to see from the bottom of the clear kayak, but the reef and sea turtle made it worth it.
