The hawaii active services were excellent. The crew on the boat seemed inexperienced and unable to put us in the water with the dolphins. They blamed the dolphins. I have done this type of excursion before and there was no problem - but it does take skill and expertise to "read" where they are swimming and manuever the boat correctly. The water guide also could not explain anything historical about maui or the shoreline as we boated by...she was a weak guide.

Unfortunately, Philippa could not be with us due to a broken ankle and instead she sent a friend. Her friend was very friendly and committed, but there were some conflicts between her and the crew from the boat. I think this was due to her being unexperienced and in charge and the crew being very experienced. In total we were 5 guests and all experienced snorklers. It was an experience I will not forget. Since the group was so small, I did not feel as being the super tourist, which I appreciated a lot.

The guide/crew need to make sure all participants wear the proper gear (follow safety procedures) before actively taking part in this activity. They were very friendly and personable.

We wanted to send Phillipa a thank-you by postal service or e-mail, but could not find a way to do this. Please let her know how much we appreciated the "personal touch" she provided for our family--she did a great job. The Adams family--Jill, Berk, Jennifer and Morgan.
