Over the course of a week, I took 3 private lessons with my instructor Kazuma, and I truly leveled…read moreup my surfing in ways I didn't think were possible in such a short time. Before these lessons, my pop-up was a mess, but Kazuma helped correct my technique so I was actually standing up consistently and getting real riding time on waves instead of just wiping out. He is an incredible person who genuinely helps you understand what you are doing wrong and how to fix it. On top of that, he is such a fun, amazing instructor who keeps the energy high and positive from the moment you hit the water. ​If you want an instructor who will make sure you have an incredible time while building a massive amount of confidence in the water, Kazuma is hands down the best instructor ever. Make sure to request him when you book your lessons! I look forward to going back to Maui to get to learn more from Kazuma in the future.

She kept holding them for "better waves" while other people were riding 2-3 waves before our kids did 1. They said she didn't do much instructing once in the water.

I'm a little more experienced than a beginner so I wasn't looking for a full lesson. I wanted someone to paddle out with me and give me some guidance in the lineup. Sean quickly understood the assignment and made the session perfect. He also helped push my husband into some great waves while still giving me the support I wanted. We also did the photo package. Our photographer (also named Sean) got so many great shots. To top it off the woman owner gave me a hat for my birthday which I loved wearing for the rest of the trip. Thank you surf club Maui, the owner, and both Seans for making my birthday morning so special. We can't wait to come back!

From the moment Alex answered the phone I knew I was in great hands. He made this experience not…read moreonly super easy, but delightful as well. I loved that the prices were available on yelp, that convenience of him dropping the board off to my location and picking it up. I had the board for almost a full week and used it every single morning. Alex made sure to explain the details and seriousness of the Hawaiian ocean currents and set me on my way. He made a point to reach out to me prior to pick up to make sure we had a time and place set up. The only way this could have been easier is if he paddled the board around for me. 10 out of 10 would recommend and I will definitely be using Maui SUP rentals again when I return to Maui. Thanks, Alex!

Went on a Whale watching kayaking tour last Saturday and had a BLAST! Our tour guide, Kris, was…read moreawesome!! She did a thorough introduction before we went out on the water, helped us get on/off our kayaks with ease, and made sure we were all safe while respecting the Hawaiian waters and their majestic creatures. We saw so many whales breach in every direction, heard their songs clearly above water and under water with the paddle trick. Kris also took a few photos of us while we were out there! It can be a little difficult to hear out there on the water, so be sure to speak up and ask your tour guide to repeat if needed. Would have loved to hear more about facts about the whales and Maui in general, and it'd be cool if the tour guides used Hawaiian words like "Huli" which means "flip over". Luckily we didn't huli! Tip: Be sure to hydrate, eat a snack, wear reef safe sunscreen, long sleeves if it looks cold, stretch your hammies, and use the restroom beforehand as they don't offer these during the tour. I wish I brought my hydroflask, but I survived! Also, help out your locals and leave a tip if they meet your expectations! No need to bring cash unless you have a place for it, they'll email you with the photos and their Venmo to optionally tip.

It was just us and another couple. Ryan's instructions and laid back attitude calmed everyone - the other person was first timer and she did well with her husband. We were lucky to be able to spot some turtles and two endangered monk seals frolicking in the water. Learned a bit about the surrounding islands and the shark pit! My husband at the bend of the day felt accomplished and actually enjoyed himself. Ryan is from San Diego and both couples from CA as well. We were from Northern and the other from Southern. CA represent! Highly recommend Ryan. The beach is also perfect for snorkeling and just chilling out. Went in for a dip and swim. Great day! mahalo! Very reasonably priced as well.

They had a great time…read moreand Mikey was great from the dry land lessons to getting them out on the water and giving them tips and techniques to ensure they got up on their boards and got surfing! They were pretty tired when they got back but that just means they got to ride a lot of waves in! My daughter said surfing was one of her favorite activities of the trip. The company was easy to find in the parking lot and they offered the option to tip digitally which we appreciated. We also purchased the optional photo package so got some great photos of our group on the water.

We found the spot easily and the van. Once we checked in, we filled out the waiver, fitted with a sun shirt and water shoes. We were also given a mesh bag to put our belongings in and this was put in their van. We were in a group of 6 people total and our guide was Mikey. Mikey went over the basics and had us practice on dry land and then we were off. It was only waist deep and most of the ocean floor was sand, with a few rocks, so the water shoes came in handy. Mikey found a wonderful area for us to ride waves on Kalama Beach and was very encouraging and positive. He'd tell you exactly what to do and when to do it to successfully surf. I am the least athletic person and I stood up on my first wave. Best of all, we saw a lot of turtles! I could have stayed all day and just enjoyed the turtles. Surfing is exhausting and I had a hysterectomy 6 months ago. When I wanted to just cheer people on, there was no pressure to get back out there. It was at my own pace. I really appreciated that. There is also a photographer to purchase pictures and we bought those as well for $120.00. $90.00 for 1 person and $120.00 for two. It will be 48 hours or so until those come in digitally. Gratuity isn't included, so we brought cash. If you need to, there is also a digital way to tip your instructor. If you use this company, ask for Mikey. He's a great teacher and very enthusiastic with his small group. Con: on the Viator website it lists "light refreshments", which wasn't offered. If I had to do it again, I'd skip Viator and book directly with the company. If you book directly with the company it's $88.00 per person.

We live in Kauai and have gone on countless whale watching and snorkeling experiences here in Maui…read moreduring whale season. This experience with Griff, our guide, was by far, the very best we have ever experienced. Not just because we saw 4/5 whales, or that the weather was perfect, or that during our snorkel, we saw two turtles, countless fish (including a mahi mahi chasing flying fish) and a beautiful reef. All those are incredibly awesome! But I must admit, having Griff as our tour guide was really what put this trip over the top! He was outstanding in every way. He kept us engaged and provided his knowledge on whales, turtles, fish, all the islands, and the importance of being respectful to the Hawaiian land and culture. He was so genuine! His passion and love of his work was infectious!He definitely lives A l o h a!! Mahalo Griff!!
