We had such a good time on the whale watching and snorkeling out of Makena that we went back a couple days later for the same kind of trip out of Olowalu. Thoroughly enjoyed both days! Griff is a wonderful guide – knows what he’s doing and makes the trip fun. Both locations were beautiful, but the snorkeling was more interesting at Olowalu, at least on the day we went. Lots of fish around the reef and a few more turtles. We saw whales on both trips and it was amazing to see them from the kayak. You don’t need to be an expert on the kayak to do this. When the wind kicked up, it took a little extra effort, but it was never hard to stay in control. Highly recommend seeing the ocean and whales this way!
