Had an amazing experience with Aqua as first time paddle boarders! She was so sweet, patient, and knowledgeable. It truly felt like being out on the water with a friend. Loved that pictures were included as well. Can’t wait to come back for whale season. Highly recommend this tour!

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 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.
Awesome experience! First timer and I had a blast! Sky our guide was very helpful and Knowledgeable. Highly recommended!!!!
Beautiful experience! The guide was patient and inspiring! Do this ecperience for your soul and spirit. They will thank you. Im looking forward to more lessons!
We joined this tour during our honeymoon trip in Hawaii and this was hands down the best tour we joined out of the other 5 tours! Aqua is super knowledgeable in terms of the islands and ocean life. It was our first time doing SUP and though I'm capable of swimming, I'm always nervous swimming in the ocean but Aqua is very encouraging and always making sure we're doing good, we felt super safe and it's the first time that I really enjoyed being in the ocean this much. We got to see a bunch of sea turtles that we weren't able to when we did the snorkeling with another tour a day before, we even paddled with a sea turtle and spotted a monk seal which is super rare and an endangered specie in Hawaii. The SUP experience was everything I had imagined for, very chill and extremely meditative, thank you Aqua!! I highly recommend this tour!
Sky was an outstanding guide: fun & knowledgable, great at giving tips & education about the island, wildlife & water all at once. We saw several sea turtles & had a couple come say hello. This was a perfect morning activity for us! We have been paddle boarding before so we were able to use more time exploring but I’m confident it would be a great experience for first timers as well.
Awesome experience! Sky was the best! During our paddle we got to see 2 monk seals and it was so amazing!
Met with Aqua who was our paddle board instructor. It was fantastic. She was both exceptionally patient and knowledgeable. Is was a private lesson and we were very happy with the entire experience. Highly recommended to any first timers!
Aqua made our paddle boarding experience so special, fun and memorable! From reaching out with clear and helpful instructions prior to arriving to ensuring our paddle boarding experience was safe, adventurous, engaging, educational, beautiful and so fun. My daughter and I LOVED our paddle boarding experience and sea turtles making their appearances throughout our time in the water. Thank you, Aqua!
This was such an incredible experience! Our guide, Aqua, was fun and very informative. She brought masks so we could duck our heads in to see turtles and underwater caves. She let us go at our own speed and took amazing pictures. It was beautiful. Highly recommend!

Our experience paddle boarding with Aqua was amazing! While I have paddle boarded before, my wife had little experience. Aqua was patient and her instructions were clear and easy to understand. My wife stood on the paddle board for the first time ever! Aqua also shared with us fun facts about Hawaii and its history. She took great pictures for us while on the water. Couple highlights from this experience is seeing Tiger Wood’s house as well as a couple turtles surfacing the water. Overall our experience was super fun and enjoyable.
This is a must do adventure in Maui!!! Aqua not only took us paddle boarding, she shared the culture, language, and history of this beautiful island. We felt like we were VIP’s . We only wish we had time to take her Mermaid lesson
I have researched a lot on what activities I can do in maui with 5 yr old. I wanted something adventurous and am glad that I picked this Sup paddle with Sky. Through all the different emotions my son went through we sailed through and had an amazing experience. All thanks to Sky our instructor who was very helpful through out.
One of the highlights of our trip! Great for those who aren't super confident swimmers but still want to experience the beautiful waters and wildlife of Maui. Our guide Sky was awesome. We would definitely do this again!
This was a highlight of our trip! I spent a lot of time researching things to do in Maui. Our whole family loved seeing the turtles up close. We all thought Sky was so kind, fun with everyone and we learned a lot. We had some special needs in our group and he navigated that easily. Everyone in Maui was so kind....we all agreed Sky was a real stand out!
Truly enjoyed the experience of paddle boarding for the first time! Beautiful scenery, spotted turtles up close, and Aqua the instructor was the best!!
Beginner to expert. One of the best mornings I’ve ever had. Our guide Sky was the best. So knowledgeable, helpful, and chill. Nothing like it. Can’t wait to do it again and again. My wife’s first time and Sky got her standing in no time. A must do while in Maui. Surrounded by beautiful islands and the whole family smiling. Doesn’t get much better. Thank you again Sky for a sick memory.
This is our second time going on a paddle board adventure with this company, and one of our favorite things to do here. We got the pleasure to meet Aqua this time(she is AWESOME!). This was such an epic way to start the morning!!
We had the best time paddle boarding. Two of us were beginners and Sky, our instructor was so helpful and patient and soon we were all standing and paddling. It was the best activity on our trip here. Highly recommended and would for sure do it again. Sky was amazing, friendly, knowledgeable and kind. He recommended a beach for us to use after or paddle boarding trip along with giving us the best places to eat. He also told us to reach out if we needed anything while we were here. Totally the best time!
My boyfriend and I had the best time paddle boating with Sky. Right off the bat he was so friendly and warming making us feel comfortable with our private tour with him. He went out of his way to explain everything to us in depth and took many nice pictures of us on his go pro. He even let us stay over time so we had time to snorkel a little and look around underwater. Highly recommend this tour to everyone of all ages!
My 14-year-old son and I did the private paddle boarding tour this morning. Our guide, sky, was patient, kind, funny and knowledgeable. Highly recommend
This private experience was more than worth the money. Sky was an exceptional instructor. We all had the best time and would HIGHLY recommend to anybody! We saw turtles, sting rays, fish, and reef. Thank you for the best time on the island!
Such an awesome experience! Our guide Sky was so knowledgeable about the area and was very accommodating and flexible during our time with him. We were traveling with our teenaged niece & nephew who are both good swimmers but only the niece is comfortable on the paddle board. Our nephew decided to be a ‘passenger’ rather than have his own board. The entire trip ended up being 5-Star due to Sky’s patience with a nervous teen. Highly recommend!!!!
Our guide was Sky and he is awesome! Great communication from start to finish. Highly recommended for first-timers.
Aqua- was amazing, she was so much fun to have as our instructor and tell us all about Hawaiian culture! Would 100% recommend!🐢🌴
We had the best morning learning to paddle board with Sky! It was the perfect Father’s Day/Birthday activity. We saw several sea turtles. He was very knowledgeable about the island history and surrounding area! It was the perfect activity for our family. He even helped answer questions about local places I wanted to visit.
Aqua and Sky were absolutely amazing. We welcomed them into our large family. There were 9 of us and they were so encouraging, even for an old lady like me, gentle, and very knowledgeable about the area. The kids loved this trip. It was a highlight for them all. I didn't think I was going to get my grandson (15) home. He wanted to stay. The turtles swam around us, and we just had an amazing time. Thank you Aqua and Sky.
Sky was the best ever! He was patient and extremely nice, knowledgeable about the island and paddling. I don’t think we would have had half as much fun with any other guide.
He also gave us great advice for our vacation and the pics are amazing!!!
