Important note: I am having some health issues and am not able to do snorkel tours for the time being. I am referring everyone to Suzzy Robinson ; 808-268-9840; www.mauisnorkeltours.com. We have worked together for many years and I recommend her highly! Please let her know I referred you.

"Ann Fielding invented Eco-Tourism 20 years before anyone gave it a name."

-- Dr. Carol Hopper, Former Waikiki Aquarium Director of Education

When National Geographic Traveler came to Hawaii to write a cover piece on "The Real Maui" they chose marine biologist Ann Fielding to guide them to the marine life most tourists never see. Ann takes small groups of snorkelers to her favorite reefs to share her extensive knowledge. Check out the November 1995 issue of National Geographic Traveler, and the March 2005 issue of Sunset Magazine.
