Jake was a wonderful guide who made sure we knew all the rules for both the snorkelling and kayaking, so no capsizing for us. We are active seniors and had to paddle pretty hard to keep up, but managed. There were 9 of us which was great as it wasn't crowded at Turtle Town. We…

Jason took us on a great kayak tour out of Makena Landing. He was very knowledgeable and a great guide. The best part was all the turtles we saw! At least half a dozen! Highly recommend.

Mahalo for taking to the time to review. While Jason is one of our newer guides, he knows how to take care of guests and how to find the right spots. His mannerism is relaxed and easy going making for a great outing for guests. Makena is always a great area for reef life and has some of the best views on the island.

We found this tour by chance and it was perfect for us. Easy on/off for novice kayakers, small group so no bumping into people, a good amount of time to do your own thing, locations away from the fray with reef, fish...and turtles! Request Matt, especially if you’re new to…

Wow....... so glad you enjoyed. Makena is definitely the best spot to enjoy some kayaking and snorkeling. Lots of turtles there. Matt is a great tour guide who enjoys taking people out and yes, he is a laid back guy bringing his own style and charm to the tour. Mahalo for taking the time to share this - we appreciate it!
