5.00Gregg was an amazing guide! He was patient and kind. He was great with the kids and helped them through some anxiety to give them the best first snorkeling experience ever. He had all the gear we needed and gave a great tutorial before we got in the water to ensure that everyone was safe. The turtles were beautiful and curious about our group. We saw dozens of species of fish and Gregg brought up urchins and sea cucumbers for the kids to touch. This is a must do! Thank you!

5.00This is an amazing experience! We saw at least a dozen sea turtles, an eel and way too many fish to count. The guide was very well trained and made us feel safe. He was helpful and wanted to make sure we all had a wonderful time. I will do this excursion every time I come back to Kauai!
So Much Fun

5.00Greg was just the best. He has lived in HI for four decades and is a certified dive instructor. With our private family tour he spent the first 40 minutes really building trust and teaching us techniques and communication. He got to know us and we got to know all about his background and his family. The others divers knew him and said hi. We felt totally comfortable when it was time to wetsuit it up and enter the bay. He pointed out the different fish and wildlife he told us to look for. He pointed out and steered us away from a barracuda. He kept us safe and was making sure we were relaxed and having fun. Went with husband and boys (10 and 12). Just an amazing experience. Would book again!
Would definitely do it again!

5.00Greg was a wonderful guide. We went with our parents (in their 70’s) and our kids (6 &7y/o), none of whom had ever snorkeled before. He did a great safety and education demo, made it fun and interesting, and put everyone at ease. He had snorkel gear and wet suits that fit everyone. We were able to see lots of fish & animals, and Greg was sure to point out anything we might have missed. Would most definitely recommend this experience for anyone visiting Kauai and wanting to see the reef life.

5.00Greg was FANTASTIC!!! We had our 5yo with and he was so patient and kind! We all had never been snorkeling before and Greg has a nice lesson before even getting in the water to make sure we all understood how to properly use the equipment! Once we got in the water Greg brought us to the perfect spot to see so much! Sea turtles were amazing!! Thank you again so much!!! If you have never been snorkeling please make sure your first experience is with Greg!!

5.00Gregg was an amazing guide! He was very knowledgable, had great gear, and was outstanding with our kids. He has a great way of explaining everything in a calm and supportive way for even the most reluctant and novice snorkelers. Our six-year-old son was scared and refused to put on his snorkel mask. Gregg continued to encourage him without pressure or shame and found a special "job" for him to do on the raft so he could help and the rest of us could enjoy our time safely. We saw almost a dozen sea turtles!
