“Poseidon himself helped me face my fear of getting in the ocean. Great experience kayaking and snorkeling for my first time with the father and son duo. I have never really snorkeled before and am too scared jumping off a boat into the ocean so this was a fantastic first time experience. We were able to practice by the shore so I could learn and get comfortable. Nice small group. Swam with so many fish and a sea turtle! One of my best experiences ever. Also closer to Kaanapali.”

“We ended up not going to the West Side and I’m very glad! We went to McKenna Landing near Keihi which was a closer drive. John was so awesome and fun to learn kayaking from! Our group saw several turtles and bottle nose dolphins got real close to us! He had lots of patience with us that had never kayaked before! Even got 1 man who was afraid to swim in the water!! Ask for John if you book a kayaking and snorkeling tour!! He’s the best!!”
An animal, a kind of water, a kind of boat, or a kind of day.
