I booked the sunset snorkeling cruise with Malama Tours. The process was easy and straight forward. Shuttle was right on time and our driver (Sergey) made our drive to the boat super interesting and entertaining. The cruise was terrific and we saw fish, dolphin, turtles, and even seals! The crew in the boat were all very nice and made our cruise memorable. Highly recommend using Malama Tours for any of your adventures. Pricing was also terrific.

Got one of the best ATV rides on the island. The views were unreal, and the staff made everything feel safe, smooth, and respectful to the land. You’re not just riding—you’re learning about the area too. Highly recommend if you want adventure with real local insight.

We booked a very last minute tour which they were so gracious and accommodating and was able to work out a private tour for our family. We loved it seen parts of the island we would have never been able to see and we were so thankful to them and especially our driver Darlene she was so sweet and very knowledgeable about everyplace she took us. I would highly recommend you book with Malama Tours and ask for Darlene if she’s available definitely a 5 star plus tour and driver Thanks for a beautiful experience for our vacation and giving us beautiful memories to last a lifetime
