We had such an amazing time on the ocean. We were able to see 9 turtles and several up close. Our tour guide just graduated from high school and was very professorial and knowledgeable about sea life. Thanks for a great time!

Our guide didn’t seem very knowledgeable, and didn’t make a real attempt to see turtles, while the canoe in front of us had a much more experienced guide, learned history about the island, saw turtles etccc. It was disappoint overall for us and not necessarily something I would recommend.

Kruz was great in getting back to me via text the night before to ensure me that can accommodate my 2 children. He also informed me to maybe do a earlier slot to avoid the high wind later in the day. Certainly made the experiment a whole lot smoother and enjoyable. When I got lost getting there, Kruz was also very helpful in helping me find his location. The lady who is the tour guide/steermen was also wonderful. I would definitely recommend it.

This was a wonderful experience with friendly, knowledgeable staff and a super service! The trip out on the outrigger was a lot of fun and we saw some huge turtles up close when out on the ocean, and also a barracuda. As well as being an excellent guide, Kevin taught us some traditional Hawaiian chants and lots about Hawaiian history. This was a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend Hawaiian Ocean Sports! 🌺

The tour guides were great. :) They had wonderful energy and taught us about the Hawaiian culture. Our group had the 10 AM tour and we were so lucky we had a turtle approach our canoe. Paddling was also pretty easy going. The reason I did not put 5 stars is because I feel their Viator description should disclose the width of the seats of the canoe. For reference I am a size 8 and I had little room to move. I brought my friend with me and she did not fit comfortably in the canoe. She had to sit sideways to fit.

Great time out on the water to learn a little bit of history of the Hawaiian people and also see some turtles. Also nice to do an active excursion and paddle on an outrigger. The team was professional and great communication with directions to the start point.

Aloha Aniluz, If you're going to submit a review positive or negative, please present accurate information. You were 45 minutes late for 10am scheduled departure. Tradewinds typically increase as the day progresses on Maui. That is why we recommend 8am, 9am and 10am departures for all tours. As Tradewinds increase, the turtles are more difficult to see. For safety reasons, we discontinued the tour and issued you a refund as request. As always, our primary commitment is safety and positive experience. Mahalo, Kevin Piilani Hoke
