This is a must do while in Maui! We had a blast with the best teacher ever, Dara! She was so patient and knowledgeable. Her workshop was gorgeous and outdoors. Perfect Hawaiian activity. Dara offered snacks; Drinks, Fresh Cookies, and Chocolates. Our pieces look so beautiful, thanks to Dara. We will definitely book this again when we come back.

Dara was ABSOLUTELY awesome. I don’t have an artistic bone in my body and to be quite frank, I was quite proud of what she helped me create. She explains the process. She explains why we do what we do and when we run into a problem she was there too make it better. And also, she had a great personality and bonded with her students.

    Very disappointed. This is not the way to treat customers.

    Cheri_W, Mar 2026
    Very disappointed. I made the reservation for this workshop 3 months before my visit to Maui. It was something my friend and I had always wanted to do - and what a great place and time! My credit card was charged, as agreed, 2 days before the date our class was scheduled. Then, the day before our class, I was notified that my reservation was cancelled due to “overbooking”. This was very frustrating, as it was our last day on the island and I had no chance to reschedule. If the class was overbooked, why did they charge my card, and why was MY reservation the one that was cancelled since I made the reservation so far in advance? Of course, I have not gotten a satisfactory answer to my inquiries, nor have I gotten a refund yet. I am very disappointed, both with the studio and with Viator. Next time I will just book my tours and experiences directly with the operators.

    Aloha, I’m so sorry your reservation was canceled due to weather. We have had terrible storms and unfortunately had to cancel for that reason. We are deeply sorry To have missed the opportunity to create with you.

    I am now an artiste!

    Mahalo for choosing my Art class!!

    Highly recommend!

    Lahonda_B, Nov 2025
    I truly enjoyed my time with this project. No one else showed up and I was able to learn more techniques since I am learning to make my own ocean art. The snacks were amazing. There are also gorgeous pieces that you can purchase. Honestly, I cannot say enough good things about this adventure. 10 out of 10 highly recommend!

    Response from Host, Nov 2025

    Mahalo and I am excited to see all the things you will create!!!

    Such a great experience!

    Megan_S, Nov 2025
    This was such an amazing experience! The instructor was super friendly and made it so much fun! She helped us from beginning to end and we made beautiful pieces to take back home with us. She had refreshments and great music. Overall, the whole thing was simply amazing. I would 100% recommend this to anyone!

    Response from Host, Nov 2025

    Thank you so much! I really enjoyed creating with you

    So much fun!

    We had a great time learning how to do the ocean resin workshop. Darah was very kind and patient. I would recommend this workshop to everyone. I would do it again.

    Response from Host, Nov 2025

    Thank you for your kind words. So fun helping you create your perfect Maui souvenir. Hope to see you again soon. Mahalo 🌺

    You won’t regret this experience!

    Kirstin_M, Sep 2025
    This was an awesome experience! Dara is the absolute sweetest and nicest human being and was so welcoming. She greeted us with flowers for our hair and made us feel right at home. The area is beautiful with flowers and plants and even a lime tree. My mom and I upgraded to turtle shaped boards and I loved we had cute practice boards we got to take as well. She walked us through everything and was so helpful while still making sure that the board was all our own. I loved all the little refreshments that she had available and she was so accommodating to my dad who also came as a spectator and invited him to enjoy the refreshments as well. This is an experience that you won’t regret booking and that you will want to come back and do again. The resin does have to cure for 24 hours and I’m so excited to go pick mine up along with the little figurines we got to make with the extra resin!

    Thank you choosing my Art class. It was pure joy watching you create your perfect Maui souvenir. 🌺❤️

    One Year Maui'd Reain Board Experience

    John_U, Sep 2025
    This is a must-do while on Maui! Dara was wonderful, knowledgeable and so fun to make these resin boards with. Luckily, she had a reschedule within our class time - so we had the pleasure of a private class, making the experience so much more special! Making our own Maui souvenirs was much more special than making a similar purchase in stores, this truly was a one-of-a-kind experience. Happy to spend our one year "Maui'd" here!

    Response from Host, Sep 2025

    It was a special time for me as well, helping you create your perfect keepsake. Happy one year Maui’d 💕

    Making waves and memories in Maui

    Rasma_A, May 2025
    We visited Kai Luna Creations on our first full day in Maui, and it was an unforgettable experience! We were warmly greeted by the vibrant and sunny Dara, who invited us into her beautiful garden. Under the gazebo, we found sweet pineapple, refreshing drinks, freshly baked cookies, and workstations all set up and ready for us. We even got to choose our own apron colors and received a beautiful plumeria flower for our hair—such a lovely touch! Dara was incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable. Throughout the class, she guided us through choosing our boards, selecting colors (all of which we later saw reflected in the beaches and during our visit to the Molokini Crater), and the step-by-step process of creating our artwork. What really stood out was that we began by practicing on sample boards, which helped us understand our preferences before starting our final pieces. The entire lesson was peaceful and inspiring. We enjoyed the music, Dara’s amazing stories, and her attentive guidance making our waves. All three of us would definitely recommend this as a perfect way to start your Maui vacation—not only for the wonderful memories but also for the beautiful, personalized keepsakes you'll take home.

    Why buy a souvenir when you can make your own!!!

    Amy_D, Aug 2024
    Such a fun way to make your own personal souvenir to take home. Dara was amazing at explaining and showing how to make your masterpiece. Definitely worth a drive if Paia is not close to your vacation location.

    We had an incredible time at Kai Luna Creations. After a warm welcome we learned new art techniques and got to express our creativity in a beautiful setting. This was a truly unique experience for our family and we created memories that will last a lifetime!

    It was so fun creating with you!! Mahalo, hope to see you again soon.

    Fantastic Fun Experience- with a beautiful handmade item to bring home

    katherine_r, Aug 2024
    We spend lot of time on Maui, and just discovered this activity and Dana. It's is so interesting and fun and easy with Danas guidance. She is extremely knowledgable, very organized and provides clear lessons and high end materials. Along with drinks and treats and a ton of Aloha. Her entire set up is first class and you create a useful and beautiful item for yourself or for a gift. This is now a top 3 in my recommendation list to friends of what to do in Maui. We will be back to make holiday gifts for friends and family. Go- you will be very happy you did.

    Response from Host, Aug 2024

    Mahalo, Kathy! I enjoyed our time together creating! Look out for a special Holiday ornament class coming in November. Can't wait to create with you again soon.

    Do it!! You’re crazy if you don’t! LOL

    Deborah_F, Jul 2024
    I was thrilled to see this type of event through Viator. Dara was lovely to work with and the souvenir that she helped me create is simply priceless!! She is friendly, funny, has an ease about her that you instantly want to be her new best friend! Extremely happy I did this class. 5 stars for sure!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Response from Host, Jul 2024
