We had the most amazing experience with John and Emilly. It was my first time Paddle boarding and they made me feel so comfortable. We had hump back whales come close to our paddle board and it was once in a lifetime experience to see them up so close to us. John took some amazing videos of us and the whales for our memories. We also saw Hawaiian Monk Seal and Turtles while Paddle Boarding. Overall amazing experience and definitely recommend them 100%

Peg was great, she taught us how to paddle board with a lot of patience and very accommodating with the snorkeling part. She brought us over to two reefs and taught us about the surrounding islands. We had a great time.

We booked this tour on the recommendation from a friend who had also taken the same tour when visiting Maui. Peg did a great job communicating with us about the tour. She checked the weather and contacted us a few days in advance as there was a storm and the weather on the day we had booked the tour may have made it impossible to paddleboard on the date we booked. As we were on vacation we weren't checking the weather but Peg was on top of everything. We weren't able to reschedule but she continued to communicate with us until the morning of the tour. Once we got there Pam did a great job with safely getting my husband and I on the water and safely guiding us on the paddleboards. They really care that you have a good experience. She took a lot of great photos of us which we purchased for a nominal fee and she emailed them to us after the tour. They are a great memory of a fun outdoor adventure in Maui.

A perfect outing. Chris was a great instructor and very flexible with us. He went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable on the boards and with the snorkel equipment. He shared fun info about the wildlife and Hawaiian culture. The weather happened to be amazing and we saw sea turtles, sea urchins, an octopus, and many fish. The trip exceeded my expectations.

Highlight of our Maui vacay! Since we had 2 kids with us (5 and 7 years) they provided 2 guides for our private session. We felt fully safe and taken care of, while my husband and I could really enjoy the paddle board and snorkeling. Our guides Peg (the owner) and Chris really allowed us to relax and soak in the moments. When my 5 year old got cranky, they made sure he got happy again (luckily had some snacks on the paddlebaord for him!) We were able to get some “National Geographic”-like shots with an octopus, starfish, and urchin, which btw the photo package is a MUST. The photo package also allows you to just enjoy, and let them be the ones to focus on the pics (which they also were amazing at). Just super impressed and happy with our experience and would def recommend them to our friends! Thanks so much Peg and Chris!
