  • Great time, repeat customers

    We are repeat customers because Eva offers a quality experience and shows her desire for customer satisfaction. We have kayaked with Eva in past years and did so again this year. Great value, great equipment, and beautiful location. Small groups so plenty of quiet water time. We enjoyed ourselves so much we decided to try paddleboarding and had a wonderful personalized lesson before taking off for a good time on the water. My family highly recommends Eva and Pure Aloha.

    We had a large group, and received lots of helpful tips. The experience is especially great for beginners who want to stay near shallow water, and have a calm and relaxed experience. Go early because the sun is hot!

    We had a wonderful time. She was thorough in showing us what to do and encouraged us throughout the entire lesson. It was so fun! One of the best experiences my family has ever had.

    I signed up for the Stand Up Paddle boarding Tour. Even though I have done the SUP for a few years now, I have never done it in this area. I had fun and learned several things that I will need to practise. Eva is a wonderful instructor and I can’t wait to come back down and sign up again.

  • Unforgettable experience!!!!!

    There were 3 of us who had never been on any kind of board before. Eva was absolutely wonderful! So patient with us! And she made it very easy for us to understand what we were supposed to be doing and when to do it. She made our experience a great one - we will never forget our Stand Up Paddle Board lesson! We chose Pure Aloha Adventures because their lessons were reasonably and competitively priced and we loved the fact that it is owned and operated by women! Girl Power!!! We will definitely be scheduling snorkeling lessons on our next visit!! Mahalo Eva!!!!

  • Lucky I live Hawaii!

    I think this was the first time I was in/on the water all year even though I only live 15 minutes away from it. What a lovely morning! Eva was a great wrangler of 4 women who ranged in experience from "have SUP'd a few times" to "I've never even been this close to a board." We saw some turtles, didn't run over anyone, and "the Millennial" got to try out some SUP yoga. It was the perfect way to start the week. Mahalo Eva!

  • Top notch experience

    Wish I was able to give more than five stars. If you are trying to decide which of the many companies to book with for adventure in Hawaii look no further. Eva was fantastic. I opted for the private paddle board lesson with photos and it was top notch. Eva is terrific, an excellent teacher and all around fun person to spend a couple of hours with in the water. I got fantastic photos from her that I wasn't even aware she was taking most of the time. She made sure to challenge me with executing all of the fundamental skills while in the water and also kept a sharp eye out for marine life to make the experience even more fun. Had a few sea turtle encounters which was simply a bonus. Highly recommend and I'll be booking with Pure Aloha Adventures again when I am back in Hawaii.

    Eva is such an amazing instructor - she will have you at ease within seconds of meeting her and she keeps you completely relaxed through the entire lesson - spending an hour on the water with her was a highlight of my trip! I plan to use Pure Aloha Adventures on future trips to Hawaii!

  • Favorite Experience During Entire Vacation!

    AMAZING! Stand up paddle boarding was by far my favorite part of my Hawaii vacation! I booked a private lesson for stand up paddle boarding with Eva, and it was beyond my expectations. Eva is so nice and a very good teacher! I'm a visual learner, and she showed me exactly what to do. This was my first time doing SUP, and I nailed it (thanks to Eva!) We even cruised next to a sea turtle right when we got into the water. We also saw some puffer fish! TIP: definitely pay the extra fee for pictures. I thought about bringing my GoPro but it would be hard to take pics and paddle at the same time. Eva sent me my pictures within the same day of my lesson. 10/10 would definitely do SUP with Eva again. I will tell everyone about this company! I plan to try their snorkeling tour the next time I'm in Oahu!

  • Great Snorkeling Experience with Eva

    Eva was a great guide! She was very friendly, professional and provided great communication. All in all, an awesome snorkeling experience. Will definitely try her SUP adventure the next time I return.
