My girlfriend and I are on our "Mommacation" and went kayaking this morning with Maui Kayaks. What a great experience! Finding the takeoff point was easy and our guide John was there all smiles and ready for a great day. Our group was the perfect size and after a short introduction to the kayak operation we were off. John had... More

We did the tour with Kaleo that departed out of Olowalu. Other family members had gone 2 days before and had remarked that it was an amazing experience. They did mention that the guide (Kaleo) seemed a little gruff at first but he definitely warmed-up as the tour progressed. On our trip, he was very friendly and helpful. He was... More

We booked the whale watching and snorkeling tour out of Olowalu. Our guide Kaleo is Hawaiian and we felt that added something to the experience. As the other kayaking groups didn't appear to have any success finding whales we started off with snorkeling. Kaleo's explanations were informative and he was able to coax a white tip shark out from under... More

We had an amazing day...and saw some humpback whales REALLY close...which wasthe intention of course! The guide, John, was awesome. Very knowledgable, friendly, and had a great sense of humour for a couple of us "troublemakers" on the boats. We had some crazy wind coming back in to shore, a little stormy really...but that's the chance you take with mother... More

The kayak trip was great we saw and felt the boom of the whale splash. Also felt the serenity of the calm morning waters of Maui. Our guid John was top drawer. He's been doing it for a long time and still has the fire of water in his veins. John ws very patient even when we capsized our kayak... More

Kaleo and his son provided a memorable time on the luscious blue water off Olawalu beach. Our guide gave us relevant info. along the way and kept quiet in the company of this magnificent beast, a juvenile male humpback. This was an experience of a lifetime. More

I want to thank those who wrote negative reviews about Maui Kayak and Mr "K"- but not for the obvious reason. I have been searching to "find" the company we went with last February- because we are going again this year. By the remarks I think I find both the company and Mr. "K". .... yes our trip started a... More

My husband and I planned our trip to Maui months in advance and we wanted to try kayaking for the first time. I researched all over to find the best tour and this one sounded wonderful. It was supposed to be a 5 hour trip in kayaks to several different snorkel sites superior to Molokini including underwater caves. This cost... More

Based on all the reviews I had read before booking a Kayak trip, we were really looking forward to the Makena/Wailea Explorer trip that we had planned. We were looking forward to the cliff diving,and snorkeling through the underwater arches, tunnels, and caves. However...we were never taken to do see or do any of that. The very basic lunch that...
