Overview

I am a local owner-operator with over 10 years of experience guiding on Maui waters. Unlike the large corporate tours, I lead every trip personally to ensure a five-star, private feel experience.

You aren't just another booking; you are my guest for the morning. I use my tactical knowledge of the area to focus on finding turtles and timing our arrival to enjoy the reef in between heavy boat traffic. Between our high-tech clear kayaks, the free "ocean paparazzi" photo package, and my personal recommendations for my favorite local food, beaches, snorkel spots, and hikes around the island, this is an authentic Maui adventure delivered with zero ego and pure vibes.

What's Included

  • Free Photos: High-resolution digital photos of your entire experience delivered the same day
  • Expert Instruction: Safety briefing and paddling and snorkel tips
  • Premium Snorkeling Gear: High-grade masks, snorkels, and fins-cleaned and sanitized for your comfort
  • Gratuities are not included but are greatly appreciated. Venmo is available for your convenience.

What To Expect

Skip the crowded harbor boats and join an intimate, owner-operated adventure at Makena's "Turtle Town." With over 10 years of experience guiding on Maui waters, I lead every tour personally to ensure your experience is five star-from finding the turtles to ensuring your safety and comfort and taking professional photos.

Using our state-of-the-art clear kayaks, you'll have a "window to the sea" beneath your feet as we paddle the stunning coastline. Forget fumbling with your phone-I am your personal ocean paparazzi. I'll capture high-resolution photos of your entire experience and deliver them digitally the same day at no extra cost.

You get the tactical expertise of a veteran guide, the best gear on the water, and professional memories included. As soon as we finish, I'll even email you my personal recommendations of my favorite food spots, beaches, snorkeling, and hikes. You stay present in the magic and I'll do the rest.
