For my daughters 16th birthday we did lessons for her and my 10 year old . I was pretty nervous since my 10 year old was definitely the youngest one there . They let me know if she was holding the group back they would bring her back on the beach (which I was okay with ) she stood up and surfed along everyone the entire time ! They both had so much fun and it was the highlight of our trip . Both girls said it was the best thing they did the whole time we were in Hawaii . Their instructor , Tavner , was incredible and would highly recommend ! Also , there is an option to purchase pictures . I did not initially purchase pictures since I brought a camera , but they are pretty far from where I was standing to get a good picture ( I have a old camera ) luckily he ended up taking pictures of my girls and let me purchase at the end , I would recommend this option as you get a lot of pictures for a small price

Helpful and friendly guide. Worked great with adult beginners and 3 young children (5,7, 9) who he helped overcome initial fears of out in ocean - Safety focused,patient,friendly , and knows areas for good snorkeling - we were lucky to see many whales due to time of year there … but snorkel and kayak experience was great in all aspects too. I’d highly recommend this for all ages - You’ll see many sea plants, corals ,and creatures and have a lot of kayaking fun too . Well done - 5 STARS

Carlos was excellent and so was the ride! This was my second time flying with maverick and they have always been exceptional! We were able to see many waterfalls and whales along with some history of the island. Worth every penny as you get to experience the island in a way you aren’t able to without a helicopter. 10/10 will definitely be back again next year!

Great boat, great crew, great food….overall a great experience

Our second year going with this company and LOVED it!!!
