After seeing all of the great reviews on this site, my husband and I booked the "Escapade". Our guides Chris and Lake (sp?) were awesome! They were very knowledgeable and patient with everyone in the group. We fell behind the group because the ocean was quite rough for us but one of them stayed behind and made sure we were... more

We are first time travelers to Hawaii - as well as first time in a kayak and first time snorkelling. There was myself, and my 2 children - ages 13 and 14. We took the Discovery tour. My son was in a kayak on his own because we had an odd number. He was nervous, but Lake (our guide) was... more

We took a tour that departed from DT Flemming Beach led by Mike on July 1, 2008. We are experienced paddlers, so the route was not that challenging for us, but we could see that dealing with the surf may be more challenging for a beginner. Mike was an awesome guide who was very knowlegeable about surf conditions, safety, and... more

The whole family loved this activity. Our guide Deja, was outstanding! She went over everything we needed to do and how to do it. Some of us had never been snokeling before. She was so patient with the children and uncle Bob, who was a bit uncoordinated. We saw turtles, fish and a couple of reef sharks. I think our... more

My wife and I did the half-day snorkel/kayak leaving from Makena landing south of Wailea and had a great time. The group was small with a very knowledgeable and professional leader. We were able to kayak out into the bay and snorkel in some great water. We saw dozens of fish and numerous turtles. As our group was small, our... more

We had a great time on the Xplorer tour -- a calm day and more turtles than we could count. Best of all, we had a private tour; the others in the group chose an easier option. Our guide, Lake, was great. He led us to the best spots ahead of the big boats and took pictures of us swimming... more

Four of us went on the Xplorer snorkel/kayak trip in April '08. The good: *The tour guides could not have been better. They were knowledgable and I felt very safe. *Saw sea turtles and some cool fish and a bit of interesting reef. The bad: *When we had trouble finding the landing, the person on the phone was rude and... more

I would recommend Maui Eco Tours to anyone wanting a small group, quality experience. I found them online and liked the "feel" of their site. That gut instinct proved to be true. Deja was the incredible guide for our group of 10. Her knowledge of marine biology, ecology, and Hawaiian history was encyclopedic and her manor was kind with our... more
