This was such a fun adventure!! The instructors, Aqua and Sky, were very friendly. Our personal instructor for our group of 3 seniors was Aqua. She gave excellent instructions which allowed us to get right up on the paddle boards. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone that would like to try it.
Sky did a great job of teaching us the basics and helping us get comfortable on the Paddle Boards. It was a beautiful location. This was our first time and I highly recommend getting some instruction the first time you paddle board as learning the basics allow you to get up and going sooner than attempting on your own. I cannot imagine a better and more patient instructor who truly loves what he does. Thanks Sky!
A magical experience! My husband took me on this tour as a surprise romantic adventure and it was a dream come true! We'd wanted to learn paddle boarding for years and Aqua made it so easy to learn! We saw turtles and snorkled near the coral reefs. Extraordinary!
This was hands down one of the highlights of our trip to Maui! Aqua and Sky were both amazing!! We had Aqua as our guide and from the moment we got there, she made us feel comfortable and safe. It was my boyfriends first time and she explained everything so well, was incredibly patient and encouraging. You can tell this isn't just a job for her, she genuinely loves the ocean, the wildlife, and Hawaii. Her passion for sharing and protecting these beautiful places made the whole experience that much more special for us! Some tips: - Bring as little as you can like a hat and sunglasses. She brings a small dry bag during the tour to store valuables you don't want to leave in the car (i.e. phone, wallet, keys) which was super helpful but my boyfriend wanted to keep his hydroflask with him and at some point the bottle hit the water so often it should have counted as a 3rd guest. - Book directly through the company's website if you can. Obviously to support the local business, but it also made our experience much smoother. We had all of our paperwork sent and completed before our tour, while other people who booked through a third party site had to fill everything out that morning before we could get started. It saved a lot time and hassle and let us enjoy more of the experience. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Maui. The photos taken for us during the tour were incredible and let us really enjoy the experience and have beautiful memories to look back on. Mahalo, Aqua and Sky, for such an amazing morning!
Wow, that was an amazing experience. First time paddle boarding, taught us with patience and skill. We saw so many turtles. And colorful fish. And lava tubes. And our personal favorite, flying fish. She got some amazing photos to boot. My wife loved it even more than I did. By the end we felt like pros :)
Our guide Sky was excellent. He gave great advise on how to paddle board. He was encouraging and uplifting. He gave some very interesting information about local landmarks and animal life along the way. He took great pictures so we did not have to! I will say that this tour does take a bit of endurance - it's a great workout! Thanks Sky!
Sky was a wonderful guide and really catered to our group! We had a great time and saw turtles and learned a lot about coral. Super fun trip and felt very comfortable with Sky as our guide! Thank you!!!
We learned so much not just about paddleboarding techniques but about the history of Maui, and the ocean no matter what skill level you are on great hands. There was turtles everywhere!! We will be doing this again. Shout out to Sky our instructor he made our stay even more beautiful.
We booked a SUP tour for 3 people and it was fantastic!! Sky is an amazing guide, super informative, and helpful for all levels. We were each able to go at our own paces and hop off the board to snorkel as well. Sky is also an awesome photographer! Would definitely recommend this private SUP activity
10/10 experience! Skye was a great guide! Lots of fun, experienced, and knows everything about Maui! Any ages can do this excursion. The photos included are a plus. The location doesn’t get any better. Turtles all over! Thx Skye for making our vacation extra special
