Review of Maui’s four-hour kayak and snorkel trip, with turtle sightings, whale watching, two Makena snorkel stops, and guide-led paddling.
“This was such a memorable tour! I was concerned that I would be too weak to paddle this long, but did fine as we would stop and listen and watch. Griff’s love of the ocean and Maui and his vast historical and scientific knowledge was amazing and brought it all together for the perfect trip. We saw a new baby whale still being buoyed up by his Mama, several others as well, however my very favorite part was sitting and listening for about 15 minutes to a lone male “sing”!!! I have been so on many whale tours and I have never heard this!! Just beyond words! Our snorkel afterwards…”
