5.00This was one of the best excursions WE HAVE EVER DONE!! Aqua (our tour guide) was simply amazing.... By no means are we pro paddleboarders but good enough to go out a little further and YES we saw whales....simply incredible. Aqua told us all kinds of fun facts and worked with our specific ability...along with the whales (and got to hear them sing too)..we saw turtles and some of the most wonderful views we have ever seen. This is very rare for me as I love to try new things... I would book this same tour again tomorrow!! Core memory experience. TY Aqua.....

5.00We had such an amazing time. Our guide Sky was super kind and patient and made every effort to look out for our 9 year old son, who was a little bit nervous. Sky took him on his board and entertained him by telling him all about the ocean, whales, and other things that interest him. We also were super lucky to find a mother humpback whale and a calf. It was the most magical experience. We felt well looked after with Sky checking in that we had enough sunblock and were drinking water and had such a fun time!

5.00This is a fantastic guided tour. Even if you are an experienced paddle boarder, it is worthwhile experience. Paddling on the ocean is very different from a lake. Our guide gave us great ocean going tips and customized the experience for us. So fun and nice! Extremely knowledgeable. If you are new to paddle boarding, don't worry! They've got you!
Family fun on the water - highly recommended!

5.00Paddleboarding with Sky was the true highlight of our trip to Maui this December. It's a great outing especially with teenagers, though Sky is able to modify the outing to the group since it's a private tour so he can work with any age or ability. We got to check out some of the coastline we would not have otherwise seen and were able to pop into the water for a quick snorkel at a couple of great spots. As an extra bonus, Sky took some fantastic photos of our family on the water. Thanks so much for an unforgettable adventure!
Great visit with the turtles and a new experience.

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.
