The team have a vast knowledge of ocean life and the island. We booked in a canoe tour and it was really informative, our guide was telling us facts about the outrigger and the island as we paddled out. We managed to see 3 turtles and the water was crystal clear, it was a fun experience and a must do in my opinion. When we finished the canoe we went snorkeling and THAT was a highlight! We seen 5 turtles all different sizes and heaps of colorful fish. Good price too! Tip. Get the early as the beach gets windy around 11.30

My wife and I utilized the Andaz beach crew several times as we enjoyed our ten day honeymoon at the resort. We went on a canoe tour, paddle board lesson, water bike tour, and used their snorkeling gear a number of times. Our guides Kekoa and Ricky were knowledgable and personable. All of the equipment was clean and well maintained. Reservations were easily made at the kiosk at the resort. The guides did a great job instilling confidence in the guests while understanding the comfort level and talent level of everyone. We would highly recommend this company to anyone. The only difference next time will be we will bring our own snorkeling equipment because we enjoyed it so much!

Kaleo and the beach crew are the best. We all had a great time and he made everyone comfortable. I cannot recommend these guys enough. I would go with them any time. The paddling and putting the boat in and out was a great part of the adventure. Mahalo my friends.

This was an amazing snorkeling experience for my husband and I. We went out early with two other couples and our guide. It was very private and we got to see a lot of underwater creatures along with hearing some native Hawaiian songs and tales. Highly recommend! Thanks andaz beach crew!

Kaleo was the best guide I have ever had for the outrigger, he definitely ROCKS! I highly recommend him for a guide for any of their excursions. Thanks Kaleo for making my morning memorable!

Solid 5 stars! My husband and I took an hour paddle board lesson from Matt, within 15 mins, we were up paddling! We didn’t fall once! Their whole crew is awesome! We took an Out Rigger tour with Kaleo, he’s DABEST! Travis gave us a 2 hr. kayak tour, we found 3 sea turtles!!! He took awesome photos for us which we could download for free from their website! Ricky and the other guys on the beach set us up every morning with an umbrella and 2 lounging chairs. They received us when we return from paddle boarding, just to make sure we won’t hit the rocks. Sammi is a sweet heart too! Awesome team!

Phenomenal snorkeling experience along with a totally righteous staff! Matt, the gentleman I first spoke with, was knowledgable, friendly, and made me feel comfortable enough to take the plunge. Kaleo was our snorkel guide. Kaleo is a native to Hawaii and the ocean is his domain. He was not only a seasoned vet with the experience and knowledge it takes but Kaleo was funny and knew how to make you relax… Matt was not kidding when he promised me that. We saw so much sea life and there were opportunities for photo shoots. Quinn, was Kaleo’s counterpart. Quin was just as friendly and professional at his craft. This was an experience I will never forget and would do it again and the perks… Having a sexy native to Hawaii show you around the gorgeous ocean… Aloha-Oh yeah. Thanks Matt! Rose D

Kaleo was awesome. Great tour. Great spot. Even found an octopus. Next time I come to Maui I may stop by again.. Worth the extra $ compared to other places, and it’s at the Andaz.

Had an amazing paddle board lesson with the guide, Kekoa. I, was very nervous to try the sport, but he was the kindest, most reassuring and competent instructor! I cannot recommend him highly enough. A gentle soul and a fantastic teacher.

Enjoyed staying at the Andaz and was thrilled with the Andaz Beach Crew. They were awesome, answered all our questions, assisted our children, gave us pointers on where to snorkel. Special shout out to Ricky who had conversations with my youngest on types of fish and ocean life!

Wonderful experience! My friend and I rented paddle boards for an hour one morning and the Andaz beach crew kept our valuables safe for us and also provided towels after we were done. And when a big wave knocked me off my board and I lost my sunglasses, one guy took a board out and another(Sean) got his mask and snorkel and they searched diligently until they found them! Thanks again!

The guide was nice but I feel ripped off. We are staying with Andaz and decided to bring our friends on this trip. The hotel schedule advertised $ 15/ppl for a 1 hr canoeing experience. But the run was only 30 minute. When I asked the beach crew isn’t it suppose to be 1 hr he said it’s only 30 minutes. Two days later, staying at the hotel again and it still advertising 1 hr experience. Don’t get me wrong. I still like the canoeing. And the guide was very informative but it was too short and I felt cheated. It’s a principle thing. Thought it would be fun even though it was at 6:30am!!! Dragged our own canoe in and out of the water.

Best snorkeling trip I’ve ever been on. We went on both the Molokini tour with Maui Classic Charters on the Four Winds and the Andaz Beach Crew snorkeling trip on an outrigger. No comparison! The Beach Crew snorkeled with us and brought us to areas where we swam with turtles, and I even got to hold an octopus. Best part was they took pictures and sent them to us us for no extra charge– it was included in the package($ 110 /person). With the Molokini tour, it was a hassle because of the 1 hour trip out there on the boat(warning if you get sea sick, it can be a bumpy ride). Once we got there, I think I saw more tourist out there than fish. Bottom line– save your money and time and go with Andaz Beach Crew. Much more intimate, convenient, and fun.

The hubs and I went on a whale watching tour this morning and we were not disappointed. We were supposed to go yesterday but when we got to the hut, our guide suggested we reschedule because the whales were way out and we wouldn’t see much. When we went out this morning, we had a solid 45 minutes of viewable activity. Our guide, whose name I sadly cannot remember right now because it was 20 syllables long, was very informative but even more entertaining. The cost is steep but well worth it in our opinion based on our experience today.

We enjoyed several activities with the Beach Crew. We took advantage of the complimentary outrigger canoe rides two mornings. One thing I recommend taking advantage of is the outrigger regatta. On Friday mornings they take twenty names and split you into teams of five. You then compete against other teams. 1st and 2nd place get prizes. We came in second. Woohoo! We also rented snorkeling equipment during the week. There is a live coral reef right in front of the Andaz. We saw lots of colorful fish as well as a giant sea turtle that swam right beneath us! I would have done a whale watching or snorkeling tour with them, but their tours start at $ 100+ per person, which was a bit steep for our liking.

Yes — 5 Stars all the way! When you stay at the Andaz, you expect great service, personal attention… and when you walk down to the beach crew, you find the Andaz Beach Crew is even better! Bryan, Kaleo, Charlie and team are awesome! One of my top five travel experiences in the world was the Outrigger trip with Kaleo at the helm. Six Humpback whales came right to our canoe and put on a show! Kaleo is incredible. even his singing is good, but his knowledge of whales and what they are doing sets this apart from anyone else… great job guys!
