Best tour we joined in Hawaii

5.00We 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!
Great time - so worth it!

5.00Sky was AMAZING! So full of knowledge, suggestions and advice for us Maui/paddle boarding newbies. Would do this again a million times over.
Perfect morning activity

5.00Sky 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!

5.00Aqua was an amazing guide! The experience was the highlight of our time in Maui. My husband and I went with our 7 and 9 year olds, and we all had the best time. Our 7 year old daughter got to ride with Aqua until she got comfortable, and then even she was paddling on our own. The pictures Aqua sent us were the best. She even got one of us in the water with a sea turtle popping its head up at us! Thank you for the memories, Aqua!

5.00Our tour was incredible. Aqua was more than accommodating to the different level of skills in our group. She had so much knowledge about Maui and sea life. She was extra thoughtful going above and beyond by carrying snorkeling goggles so that we could jump in to see a better view of the turtles. It is a must do when coming to Maui. We can’t wait to go again.

5.00Aqua, our guide, 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 13 year old daughter and I LOVED our ocean paddle boarding experience and the underwater caves and sea turtles made it even more magical. Thank you, Aqua!
