Paddle boarding trip of a lifetime - We had the best time paddle boarding. Two of us were beginners and Sky, our instructor was so helpful and patient and soon we were all standing and paddling. It was the best activity on our trip here. Highly recommended and would for sure do it again. Sky was amazing, friendly, knowledgeable and kind. He recommended a beach for us to use after or paddle boarding trip along with giving us the best places to eat. He also told us to reach out if we needed anything while we were here. Totally the best time!

Way cool tour! - Sky did an awesome job showing us around Makena Bay. He also got some cool photos of us. We saw turtles, a stingray, lots of fish, and had a cool lesson in learning how to paddle board on the ocean. I would highly recommend this tour.

Amazing and great time - My boyfriend and I had the best time paddle boating with Sky. Right off the bat he was so friendly and warming making us feel comfortable with our private tour with him. He went out of his way to explain everything to us in depth and took many nice pictures of us on his go pro. He even let us stay over time so we had time to snorkel a little and look around underwater. Highly recommend this tour to everyone of all ages!

A must do when in Maui - Family of 4 -2 above 50 , a 22 and a 20yo. first time on a paddle board for all. Sky was fabulous. He provided clear snd manageable instructions and had all of us up and standing and paddling for over 1 1/2 hours! We loved it! Beautiful area to learn and even a challenge for those with experience. He gave us lots of information too about Maui. He showed us see turtles. He also took fabulous pictures and shared with us within 1 day!
A great experience- we thoroughly enjoyed this and was the best experience on our 10 day multi island cruise vacation. Highly recommended!

Best Family Paddle Board Experience! - Such an awesome experience! Our guide Sky was so knowledgeable about the area and was very accommodating and flexible during our time with him. We were traveling with our teenaged niece & nephew who are both good swimmers but only the niece is comfortable on the paddle board. Our nephew decided to be a ‘passenger’ rather than have his own board. The entire trip ended up being 5-Star due to Sky’s patience with a nervous teen. Highly recommend!!!!
