We really loved this adventure. Kevin shared some very interesting facts about Hawaiian culture and traditions. Then we set out to find some turtles. It was fun to spot them swimming near us. The entire crew was warm and helpful. I highly recommend this trip.

I can’t say enough great things about Kevin Hope and his crew and how much I enjoyed the tour! The canoes were beautiful and in great shape, the views of the coastline were amazing, and the crystal clear calm waters allowed the perfect opportunity to see sea life. Kevin knew exactly where to go to see a bunch of turtles.Not only was the paddling experience calming and peaceful but Kevin is a wealth of knowledge for Hawaiian history and tradition. His friendly personality slides humor in with the education which makes it that much more interesting and fun.If you haven’t yet, you better book your tour now because it is the best around and fills up quickly! Have some fun, respect the island and it’s native people, see amazing views, and enjoy.

Great communication about the trip. The guide mentioned he has a great track record for sighting turtles and he delivered. Great instruction and amazing views. Couldn't ask for more.

Fun experience! Our guide was friendly and informative during the trip. Takes a little effort to get into canoe as you push it into the water at around waist high, then haul yourself in, but once in you follow directions for rowing. Great exercise too! Saw turtles and beautiful vistas! Highly recommended for something different to do while visiting Maui. Will come back again and ride the canoes!!

Didn't see any turtles, I guess you can't control that, but the canoeing was great and the crew was professional. Our guide was great and explained a great deal about the area and the ocean.

Guided tour was a nice introduction to Hawaiian culture and we all enjoyed the canoe ride and the “honu” experience.

Our tour guide was hilarious! Made the excursion really fun! We learned a lot about Hawaiian culture. He even gave us a free video of our trip!

My wife and I had some time in the morning to kill and decided to do this on a whim. Definitely glad we decided to do it. Had a great time learning more about the culture in the South Pacific and got some nice time out on the water. We even spotted a few sea turtles that swam right next to the boat. Highly recommend.
