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. We would recommend MWR, but the experience is completely instructor-dependent.

We had the BEST experience with Maui Waveriders Kihei, and George completely made it unforgettable…read more From the start, George went above and beyond to make our lesson feel personal and tailored to us. It honestly felt like a private lesson. He took the time to understand our different skill levels and customized everything so we both felt comfortable, challenged, and successful. What stood out just as much as his skill as an instructor was how genuinely kind and respectful he was. As an LGBTQIA couple, we felt completely welcomed and at ease, which meant a lot and made the experience even more special. George is not only an incredible instructor, but someone who truly cares about making sure you have a great time and get full value out of your experience. We both walked away feeling confident, accomplished, and so happy we chose this company. If you're booking, ask for George. You won't regret it.

I had a surf guide with Surf Club Maui for my birthday and it was such a great experience! My…read morehusband set everything up and everyone was so nice and accommodating. 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!

Wow, they all gave good massage. They graduate end January... then a new batch of students start.

Intrigued by it but not wanting to pay the hefty price tag, I booked and went in yesterday (6/4) for my first 4-handed massage with the students at Maui Academy of Healing Art. From first arriving, the gentleman at the desk was lovely and personable. We had a lovely conversation until the students were ready for me. I was with Students 3 and 4, Avery and Marissa and kudos to them! You're in a communal massage space and the students are helpful and informative for places to change, store your items, etc. Avery and Marissa were spectacular and I have to say they gave me the best massage I've ever had. I've had over 60+ massages in my life but this was way above and beyond. The four-handed massage is priced at $80 (bring tip for the students) and I can say that it is truly a steal. I've already rebooked and I'm making sure to work into my budget a 4-handed massage monthly. I know the students will rotate after graduating but it seems that they are learning to be exceptional masseuses here and looking forward to visiting again. Thanks! Tips: Parking in Paia is always a pain, arrive a little early and park in the lot closest to the Kahului side of Paia. There is usually always space and you don't have to worry about the chaos. The building is clean and beautiful with a prime location. Book a later massage and then go to dinner in Paia.
