Our kayak tour was absolutely amazing. We saw many whales and turtles. Our guide Griff had so much knowledge to share about humpback whales and the ecology and history of the islands. This tour was the highlight of our trip.

We had an absolutely fabulous day out on the water with Griff yesterday. This trip was 100% as advertised and then some. Griff made it very clear up front that we were at the tail end (pun ended) of whale watching season and the probabilities of seeing a whale on Mar 31 in the waters of southern Maui were much lower than the Jan-Feb high season (consistent with everything we had read). Regardless, his love of his vocation and respect for the spectacular surroundings we were in were still worth the price of admission. Having a property on a lake we understand the need to respect and be stewards of our local environment and the need to change our habits to try and reverse years of abuse that ignorance has caused in our lakes and oceans. It was clear that Aloha Kayaks was making it their personal mission to educate and convert all of its customers to joining them in becoming advocates for preserving what we have left of these beautiful environments. Now back to the experience - if you aren't sure who to book with to give yourself the best chance of seeing a whale on your excursion then look no further. We were treated to a magical experience watching a Mama Humpback teach its yearling how to survive and prepare for the long journey back to Alaska. Sitting 100 yards away and watching the baby practice its tail flips was out of this world. When we got back to shore and saw all the other (much larger) groups returning we discovered that we were one of only 2 (out of at least 5-6) groups that actually got to see the whales. Thank you for an absolutely spectacular day Griff - keep up the great work. Your passion is infectious!!

Griff was great!! He was very knowledgeable not only about the water and aquatic life but also about the culture and native Hawaiian history. Would highly recommend spending the morning with him. Saw some whales, heard them sing and then swam with turtles!!

What a spectacular tour! Definitely the highlight of our trip. Griff was so knowledgeable about Hawaiian culture and the ocean life. We got to learn about whale behavior and see a mom and baby whale up close. It was a moment we’ll remember forever! Then we got to snorkel with turtles and swim around at a beautiful reef. Highly recommend! Only thing to note is that it’s a long tour without food, so recommend eating a big breakfast.

Awesome, awesome, awesome. Griff is a great, knowledgeable, experienced, entertaining guide. He was great with every customer and skill level and , well , what an experience to be floating on the ocean with whales surfacing all around. Can’t say enough about the quality of this trip. So much better than whale watching from a big boat ! But bring layers, and sunscreen! 🙂🙂🙂🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

We’ve been out with Griff on numerous occasions over the last 12 years. He’s professional, safety conscious, and FUN! He shares tons of information about the ocean, sea life and the history and geography of the island. His excursions are planned based on the weather and water conditions that day. Support local and reap the benefits of someone who lives, loves and respects the islands!

We had the most amazing time! The sunrise was spectacular and seeing whales from a kayak is truly an indescribable experience. Pure awe! Griff is extremely knowledgeable about Hawaiian history and culture which deepened our appreciation for this beautiful island and its people. He was also super friendly, funny and attentive to our needs. He really knows the ocean and whales. And to top it off we had a great time snorkeling with turtles. Perfect morning!

3 of us went on the 4 Hour Makena Whale Watch Kayak & Snorkel Tour. Griff was our guide and was one of the best I’ve ever had. We’ve been kayaking for many years and had been on a whale watch - but thought it would be cool to see them from the water. Truth be told - our expectations were low. Not only did we see whales - we saw dolphins and had a great time. We learned a lot from Griff who could not be in a better job for his skills. He is incredibly welcoming and friendly. I appreciate that he went through all the covid precautions so everyone was on the same page. The tour was fun and informative. We had a great group and learned so much about the history of Hawaii as well as the wildlife. There were people who had never kayaked on our trip and you’d never know it. Griff had a way of helping anyone who needed it. Whether it was with their kayaking technique or getting back into the kayak from snorkeling - he was all over it. Great trip and a great guide! Thank you Griff!

Griff was an amazing kayaking guide. Not only did he make sure we got to see some whales (got the full tail flip and all), but even if we hadn't lucked out, his knowledge of Hawaiian history is deep and his respect for the culture of this beautiful island and its environment is so apparent. He also was so engaged with our group and kept us all safe and happy. Couldn't have had a better trip. It was a highlight.

We had an amazing experience. Griff shines with his professionality and knowledge abt the area, and also he’s so kind and thoughtful. We have 8-9 people in total and we love it since sometimes the tour have so many people. If you want to have a trip that can have your own pace, this tour would be for you.
