    This was phenomenal. My wife and I did kayaking and snorkeling on our anniversary and it was tight! Got to enjoy the views and the ocean while having fun and exercising. Nice way to start a great day. We saw turtles, fish and it was beautiful. We saw all sorts of magic down in the water. Bradley is the man. He was our guide. Dude was incredible. Safety was always his main concern. He always kept that in mind. Shouts to Bradly also for being positive and friendly even when the winds started picking up. He was cognizant of the weather conditions, encouraging and always positive. The option to rent go pros would have been super cool but Bradley went down waaaaay into the water to take our picture. That was cool as well. They'll email it apparently! Anyway, highly recommend it.

    On our last day in Maui we decided to do the snorkel/ kayak tour. We looked around and a lot of them were very expensive, this place was a great price. This was one of the best things we did on our visit. We got to see all sorts of different fish and tons of sea turtles. The best part was Kale, our guide. He was so friendly and informative about everything. He taught us so much about the history and all the islands. I learned so much on this kayak tour about the islands. Kale answered our million questions we had and afterwards we got some wonderful fresh pineapple. I recommend everyone go on this kayak tour. Best thing we did while we were there!

We found Maui kayak through a search and Maui Kayak Adv. had great reviews and it seemed to be on the side of the island we were on. Bonus... they are a B Corp. (look that up if you don't know) A company who gives back is super important and they are a small business, extra bonus. We had reservations for one day but the swells were a little "extra" so they called us to reschedule for another day. We had a little wiggle room and I appreciate that they cared about safety and even visibility in the water. Communication was super easy either via call or text and I was always updated on location of meet up. We were super lucky to have Heather as our guide. She was super nice and had great vibes and was super knowledgeable about the ocean life and geography around us. She took us to great spots and we saw tons of turtles amongst all of the other tropical fishes both shy and "brave" She even took amazing pictures for us of creatures up close by free diving and we got to download them later. Out of our on of our water snorkel adventures on our trip this was our fave: Heather was just all around rad. So support a small business who gives back to the community, and the environment and has amazing customer service and experience. I recommend Maui Kayak Adventure 10000000% Ask for Heather as your guide

Roger "Red" was proactive, thoughtful, friendly, down-to-earth, organized, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive from start to finish. He made the planning easy and gave us a lot of confidence before we even got on the water. Wes was an excellent tour guide. He was kind, humble, helpful, knowledgeable, and very attentive to our family throughout the entire experience. At one point, I needed a little extra support getting safely back to my kayak, and Wes handled it calmly, professionally, and with such kindness that I felt completely taken care of. That kind of steady guidance matters, especially when you're out on the water. Our family had such a memorable time kayaking together, snorkeling, exploring the reefs, and swimming near the honu. It was one of the highlights of our Maui trip. The whole experience felt personal, well-run, safe, and genuinely special. Thank you, Roger and Wes, for taking such great care of us.

It was an amazing experience that I will never forget. Looking forward to going back next time I am in Maui during whale season. My highest gratitude to Roger for staying in touch during a difficult time, after 2 weeks of unpredictable weather, and for making this tour happen anyway. And I'd like to give Wes a special thanks for leading us to the exact spot to meet a mama whale and a baby whale. This encounter has been my dream come true. YES!!!

The details: Our tour started by meeting at tree at the Sheraton, which sounds awkward but for us was super convenient and it was fun boarding the sailboat from the beach but you will get a little wet! Captain Michael walks you though the day and then you are off for about ~90 minutes to Lanai. During that time you are served (not a buffet) two meals. The cinnamon rolls were great and the breakfast croissants are now something I make at home. There was also a photographer on board so we took advantage and took some family photos (you buy at the end and I found them a whole lot cheaper and less stress than an actual family shoot). Once you get to the Island you can take a golf cart or take a short walk to the beach where they have all the gear you need. After the safety briefing you have about 2 hours to snorkel with the crew serving as lifeguards in the water. It is VERY easy to lose where you are when you've got your head underwater. I appreciated how attentive the crew was to where the four of us were at since there were a few times we needed some gentle guidance out of a harms way (shoreline rocks). The photographer also captures your snorkel sesh. After snorkeling, you're treated to another full meal of noodles and chicken. Followed by anything you might need for a little seasickness to prep for the journey back . My 12 yo son was pretty full at this point and had befriended the captain who let him help get the boat ready for the return trip. That was very cool! The ride home was a bit bumpy (Hurricane Lowell was coming) but Captain Michael did a great job avoiding anything major and even found a pod of dolphins. We also enjoyed the mai tais! Great experience! We will book more tours in the future. I would have booked another snorkeling or sunset tour during this trip but the water quality really deteriorated with the upcoming storm.

The level of service exceeded our expectations from beginning to end. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made us feel incredibly well taken care of throughout the cruise. The four-course meal was stellar and much better than we expected from food served on a boat. Everything was fresh, beautifully prepared, and delicious. Between the incredible crew, exceptional service, wonderful food, beautiful ocean views, and Maui sunset, this was the perfect way to end our time in Maui. We couldn't have asked for a better final evening on the island.

She did a thorough introduction before we went out on the water, helped us get on/off our kayaks with ease, and made sure we were all safe while respecting the Hawaiian waters and their majestic creatures. We saw so many whales breach in every direction, heard their songs clearly above water and under water with the paddle trick. Kris also took a few photos of us while we were out there! It can be a little difficult to hear out there on the water, so be sure to speak up and ask your tour guide to repeat if needed. Would have loved to hear more about facts about the whales and Maui in general, and it'd be cool if the tour guides used Hawaiian words like "Huli" which means "flip over". Luckily we didn't huli! Tip: Be sure to hydrate, eat a snack, wear reef safe sunscreen, long sleeves if it looks cold, stretch your hammies, and use the restroom beforehand as they don't offer these during the tour. I wish I brought my hydroflask, but I survived! Also, help out your locals and leave a tip if they meet your expectations! No need to bring cash unless you have a place for it, they'll email you with the photos and their Venmo to optionally tip.

It was…read morereally awesome to learn how their mango farm works -- as someone interested in gardening, and especially curious about exploring the "food forest" permaculture side of growing food, it was really educational. She taught us the different plant groups that feed each other, and what order to plant to get the most productivity (and safety! We learned that papaya makes a good windbreak for smaller and more delicate plants, and agave makes a good firebreak!). I wish I lived in Maui because I'd be planting mangoes, papayas, bananas, coffee, and cocoa, RIGHT away. It was wild finding out how fast and tall papaya trees grow! These plants don't grow well in Seattle, but we are still going to take what we learned and see how we can apply similar features for our own food forest. I appreciated the very real perspectives about what works - as well as pitfalls and challenges with their food forest / mango farm. The tour was really interesting and fun, and we even had a resident cat named Tyson who took the tour with us! SO CUTE! The view there was beautiful, and though our tour group was tiny, I could see this being a fun activity for kids and families, too. Enough safe space for little folx to run around safely, and so much is stackable. She let us try mango (and wild mangos), ice cream beans (what an experience!), fresh coffee, and more. So good! They said they are going to do dinner parties here and I look forward to coming back to the Maui mango farm when we visit next time. Hopefully we'll have some good photos to show off of the garden upgrades that they've inspired. We really wanted to do something to support the Lahaina community (without being a disaster tourist, either), so visiting a regenerative farm seemed like an awesome choice, and I'm very glad we went. Bonus: since Olowalu was on our way back, we got a spectacular sunset, too.

It was invigorating and soothing at the same time. It was especially helpful for me to get over the mild cold during this trip. The walk was very easy and informative and we wore tennis shoes but it could have been easily done with flip flops or sandals. At the end, we were served delicious box of star fruit, papaya, and different mango samples . Also, we were given some recommendations on good local eats, cafes, and bakeries and some or then we spent time ourselves to find!!
