Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Absolutely loved every minute of this trip. The scenery is beautiful and the snorkeling spot was great with clear water, plenty of fish, and best of all no one else in sight! We have kayaked and snorkeled a lot in the past and this is a trip we would do every time we come here now! Highly recommend.

This tour was the highlight of our trip.
Our guide Ryan was super patient waiting for whale and dolphin activity (which we saw!) and knowledgeable on the island’s history, as well as very interactive with the cliff jumping,
going up there twice.
Thank you for a fun experience, we will definitely recommend doing this!

So these guys first canceled my booking just a day before "due to weather". Well I was in Hawaii on that day "Surprise"; I didn't find anything bad with weather... pathetic and unreliable!! so far I have not seen refund in my account. I know it takes few days, but as far as I know it start showing up as pending on the same day... will wait for couple of more days before raising despute to my credit card company.

It was unfortunate to have the kayak tour cancelled but we trusted the weather alert by NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) which had a small craft advisory for our area on that day. We do NOT take chances on safety and will NOT take risks. As you made you booking thru VIATOR, we can not control your refund. Direct bookings are recommended as we can take care of matters correctly and immediately. Hope you were able to have a good day.

Kevin the owner and Rich, our guide on the ocean, were both super. The process from booking online to calling and asking some questions to getting out on the water was nice and smooth. We went in the morning 2 hour trip, just enough time to exercise some and then in the ocean to admire all the fish. Rich kept us all safe and shared lots of useful knowledge. Our group ranged from an early 70s to a couple of teens. Everybody had an absolute hoot and I recommend Kevin's company to anybody looking for a really safe, flexible and helpful outfit.

Be aware that if you are not experienced the guide does not provide instructions. The 4 hour tour was 90 min. We had two couple who had not kayaked and had trouble staying upright. The guide Miles did not provide instructions or how to stay together once past the reef. He took off fast in front of everyone and did not watch the various paddlers to see about helping them. We waited a little bit but floated and attempted to stay upright in choppy waves while he helped the boats who overturned. By the time he came back from towing a couple back - we had floated as a group out. He was mad and made us all come back in without discussion but claimed we were unsafe. Miles should have told us various spots to wait like other tours we have been on. Then as we unloaded on to the coral wall a couple people fell and ended up with urchin spines in them with no proactive suggestion on how to fix. As a group we were disappointed and had to repetitively ask for money back and all they offered was 50% back.

It is unfortunate that the tour was not successful. In all my 20 years of doing this, we have never had such a poorly behaved group. Most of the group paid absolutely no attention to the detailed instructions give by the very experienced guide at the beginning of the tour. The guests were told to always stay together as a group but people went off in all directions! One kayak, unbelievably, paddled straight out toward the horizon even after being told to stay along the coast. The guide had to chase them down and tow them back. How totally irresponsible and potentially dangerous that was of them. If people had followed the clear directions which are given at the beginning of every tour, they would not have had stability or even sea urchin problems. We graciously offered a 50% refund.

My husband and I had a wonderful kayak/snorkel tour with Kevin! He had everything ready for when we arrived, including water, dry bags and gear for those who needed it. While making sure that everyone was doing well during the tour, he provided a lot of local history and color about the island as we were going around. The tour began with a stop at a local sea cave, followed by a spot where the group could go cliff jumping! It was capped towards the end at a great spot for snorkeling, full of schools of fish. Throughout the entire trip, he was friendly, knowledgeable, accommodating and aware of everyone's safety and comfort level. Perhaps one of the most thoughtful (and rare) aspects - Kevin took many, many photos of the group as we went through the tour, and sent them to us at the end! We would absolutely do this again, and highly recommend this for anyone who is looking a safe, enjoyable and active way of learning about this beautiful island and the people on it. Mahalo Kevin!

This tour was amazing. We had a blast with Miles: he was friendly, helpful, entertaining and super informative - even after the tour. Kayaking in the ocean is always great, but we also got to jump off a cliff and surf some waves at a lava tube. The scenery was incredible both in and out of the water. We had a snorkeling spot all to ourselves. Even the people in the small group we toured with were awesome. I'd highly recommend this trip and I'll probably do it again on my next visit.
