Private Anfänger-Paddelstunde mit Schnorcheln in Turtle Town

Peg made this trip so fun.She knows the water and we felt safe.

From start to finish, our excursion with Peg and Heidi was absolutely incredible. Peg called us the night before to confirm our reservation and walked us through every detail we needed to arrive on time and without any stress. When we showed up to the meeting point, she greeted us with the warmest smile and even gave us a quick paddleboarding lesson on dry land before we headed out. We’re a family of five with three young kids, and only a couple of us had ever tried paddleboarding. Peg and Heidi made us feel completely safe and confident from the moment we stepped into the water. Their patience, kindness, and friendly personalities made the whole experience even better. Once out on the ocean, they taught us so much—not just about paddleboarding, but also about Maui’s history, culture, and marine life. We even got to snorkel, saw several turtles, and were lucky enough to spot a seal! It was truly unforgettable. We would definitely do this excursion again, and we’ve already recommended Peg and Heidi to friends visiting the island at the same time. If you’re considering a paddleboarding adventure, look no further—these two are the best!

This was such an incredible experience! It was my first time on a paddleboard, and I was honestly nervous even to try—but Peg was amazing. She coached me through every step and had me standing before I knew it! The setting was beautiful, and after paddle boarding we went snorkeling and saw so many fish—and even had a turtle swim right underneath us. To top it all off, Peg ended the tour with a surprise “Party on the Ocean,” which was absolutely delightful! An unforgettable morning on the water in Maui and a wonderful confidence boost for someone who’s usually a little scared of the ocean. Highly recommend!

From the moment we connected with Peg at Paddle On! Maui, we knew we were in for a treat - and she didn't disappoint! From the ease of registration, the information Peg provided ahead of our scheduled tour, to the awesome instruction, coaching, and guiding she did, we had an absolutely incredible time! During our paddleboarding and snorkeling experience, she kept us safe, informed, and entertained. As she learned more about our skill levels (or lack thereof :) ), she adjusted how she helped each of us in our small group of three get the most out of the experience. After we finished up, she then provided great recommendations on things to do in/around the area, providing a terrific list of restaurants and attractions for consideration. If you are looking for a professional, friendly, informative experience on Maui, rest assured that Peg and Paddle On! Maui will get it done! Thanks Peg, you rock!

We have done the turtle town paddle many times… Britney, the greatest instructor ever, is always wonderful and keeps us safe. She works with us and always ensures we see all the great wildlife. Make sure you hit the food trucks afterward!

I honestly cannot say enough about Paddle On! My bestie and I were celebrating our 50th birthdays with a girls' trip so wanted to try something new! Peg, the owner, was a stellar teacher for the two of us, who are, admittedly, not the most graceful and coordinated gals! She started with a lesson on the beach and then we paddled into the crystal clear Pacific. We both stood up on the first try with Peg's instruction, patience, and encouragement!!! It's harder than it looks, and we ended up in the water more than once but got back up every single time. It didn't matter that we fell off, the water was PERFECT! Midway through, we rafted up and Peg had the most lovely and thoughtful birthday toast on the water. After, we snorkeled for a bit. We saw countless fish, several turtles and even a ray!!! She took amazing pictures throughout which was incredible considering we were first-timers and a bit unsteady. After paddling back to the beach, Peg told us about the area. She sent us a carefully cultivated list of places to eat, drink, and celebrate. We took her advice and we were not disappointed. She knows her stuff!!!! I honestly feel like I've made a friend on Maui and I cannot wait to come back and Paddle On! with Peg again!

Wow! We booked a little last minute (the week of) and it absolutely worth it. Peg called the night before like she said she would and confirmed all details, and made a suggestion that we go a little earlier because the weather had been better then. And THEN she sent her own picks for local food and souvenirs! It was an absolutely perfect morning on the water. Chris, the guide, was fantastic and everyone was up and paddling about quickly. He had so much patience for the slightly anxious person too. Then came the snorkeling. My kids were in LOVE. Chris pointed out some amazing creatures, turtles, sea urchins, octopi, it was great! It's 2 weeks later and my kids STILL rave about their experience here. Mahalo nui loa!

Awesome tour. Perfect for beginner. Free and easy parking. Tristen is very patient and guided me step by step. I was able to stand up on the paddle board the first time! I also saw a sea turtle popped its head out to breathe in the air. So cute!

We had the most amazing experience with John and Emilly. It was my first time Paddle boarding and they made me feel so comfortable. We had hump back whales come close to our paddle board and it was once in a lifetime experience to see them up so close to us. John took some amazing videos of us and the whales for our memories. We also saw Hawaiian Monk Seal and Turtles while Paddle Boarding. Overall amazing experience and definitely recommend them 100%

Peg was great, she taught us how to paddle board with a lot of patience and very accommodating with the snorkeling part. She brought us over to two reefs and taught us about the surrounding islands. We had a great time.
