This is a great spot for kids and adults alike to learn about Hawaii and it's environement. It is an easy short walk from the Ritz is unique to have a picture of whales and the Hawaiian Islands painted over a former tennis court. There are still courts available surrounding it of you are planning some tennis.

What a great program! Stop in and see what's going on. They offer programs throughout the week to educate visitors about the local environment. The chef's garden tour was great! Learn about how the hotel is trying to grow as much of it's own food as possible....see the herbs, vegetables, rotating crops. Meet Fred who is responsible for the garden... More

We did several activities through the Ambassadors of the Environment, all of them were a great time. All of our guides were very knowledgeable, attentive, and made sure it was a great experience. They even took pictures, underwater and of us doing the activities, so we could focus on the activities and having a good time and have a memorable... More

We enjoyed a rain forest hike, outrigger canoeing, stand up paddling, and a snorkeling experience called "Cities Under the Sea". Our guides knew so much and you could tell they really love their jobs. What an awesome trip!

We stayed at Kapalua Villas near the Ritz Carlton, but took advantage of the kids' programs at Jean Michele Cousteau's Ambassadors of the Environment even though we weren't staying at the hotel. They were all great, but we especially enjoyed tide pooling with Libby. For the adults, the Sense of Place film provided great (factual, not hype) background information on... More

Our instructors, Tim and China, were very knowledgeable and made it really fun for our... More

My son was 6 when we stayed at the Ritz Carlton. We arranged for him to spend a few hours at the Ambassadors of the Environment program. He loved it so much that he asked to go back 3 others days much to the chagrin of my wife and I. He learned a ton about the environment and this was... More

Hike was described as moderate but it was really for the most fit and the daring. Some areas of the trial were narrow and had a canyon-like drop! Pretty scary and not for the faint of heart but so worth it when you get to the top and see the view. I wouldn't recommend going within 1 or 2 days... More

My wife and daughters enjoyed the whale-watching trip offered by the Ambassadors of the Environment - a brief intro followed by a two-plus hour trip in a Zodiac boat, with great whale-viewing including some spectacular breaches. Highly recommended.
