Kayaking in Beautiful Maui – Swim with the Dolphins & Green Sea Turtles

Sharing the history and knowledge of his island home ensures an interesting and memorable trip. His “family-style” tours are limited to small groups that depart twice daily.

The family fun starts with kayaking, snorkeling alongside turtles, dolphins and spotting humpback whales off shore. Discover Maui from a unique perspective!
