We had a perfect morning of kayaking and whale-watching on glassy calm waters with Jeff. He was a perfect host/guide; he made us feel welcome and comfortable and delivered what we went for - WHALES! It was amazing and absolutely the highlight of our trip. We only wish we would have had time to do it again! Thanks Jeff! Mahalo!

Wow! Talk about a fun morning! We met Joy and Shawn (family operators) early in the morning and set out to see Turtles and the Whales. We Kayaked for about 45 minutes and were treated to some unbelieveable Humpback sightings for the rest of the morning. Both Joy and Shawn are very easy going, and very affable. Enjoyed the entire...

We had an amazing experience kayak/snorkelling with Shawn from Wailea Water Sports. Shawn was fun and knowledgable and super easy to get along with. The tour was wonderful; we saw whales, turtles, octopus, and tons of beautiful fish. We could even hear the whale song while under water. If you get the chance this is definitely the way to snorkel... More

Had a fun morning of kayaking and snorkeling- the location is well chosen, and the launch time put us on the water during prime conditions. We say plent of turtles within two feet of our two-seater kayaks. Shawn was a fun and thoughtful guide- offering attentive service and insights into the sea and sights -but allowing us to enjoy a...

Not only is Shawn a very amusing instructor, he is also patient and exudes a true Hawaiian attitude. We scheduled a one-hour stand up paddle lesson and had such a good time. He suggested we bring out snorkel gear (minus the fins) and had a plan to keep everything hooked up so we could still paddle. As a result our... More

Great way to start the morning by an amazing Kayak and snorkelling tour. We swam with wild turtles, touched various sea animals and enjoyed the surrounding scenery. The instructors were kind and willing to help us in searching for the wild life. Throughout the whole experience the instructors were taking photos of us using a quality under-water camera. Without having... More

We had a wonderful 2 days with Shawn and Joy. Our first day, the kayaking was great and we enjoyed being out on the ocean and the snorkeling. We saw a couple turtles and fishes. I had more fun kayaking than snorkeling though, but that's just me. The next day we spent a couple of hours getting a crash course... More

My husband and I have been on some pretty awesome snorkel tours and this one did not stand up to the rest. While Shawn is a nice enough guy, the tour itself was pretty lacking. We kayaked out to one reef spot and got to see a bunch of turtles which was really cool but after 30 minutes in the... More

What a beautiful morning I had, taking a private stand-up paddle boarding lesson, with Shawn. He is a clear and patient instructor...very encouraging and kind. He is quite knowledgeable about the ocean and the Hawaiian islands in general - I learned a lot from him. We spent time watching an incredible mana ray gliding through the water and hung out... More

We had a great time going out with Sean and hanging out with the whales. Felt like going with a friend - his relaxed conversation made for a really pleasant trip. We got to spend time with a singing whale!
