My 10yo daughter and I went out on paddle boards with Marie and had a wonderful time. She was patient with my daughter’s nerves about the ocean and made sure both of us had a splendid time. We were lucky the winds calmed down and we were able to go. We paddled to snorkeling spot and saw lots of fish, got to touch a red pencil urchin and an octopus. Would definitely recommend this SUP tour to all. Marie also took pictures throughout the tour and edited them before sending later that evening.

The private paddle was one of the best experiences I had in my life! First, they arranged a schedule for our flight, and there was no way to express how thankful we were. When we arrived, the guides, Peg and Brittany, gave a step-by-step lesson so my family could follow and stand up on the paddle boats by ourselves. It was a fantastic experience! Peg and Brittany put our children in the front seat of their craft to keep them safe and let them paddle so that they could experience their own as well. I was also impressed by their professional leadership and consideration at the same time. There was nothing more we could ask for. Thank you, Peg and Brittany!

Pam was a great instructor! She taught my husband and me the basics and we enjoyed our time paddleboarding soooo much! We saw sea turtles, urchin, coral. The water was heavenly. Everything about the experience was amazing!

Awesomeness. Pam was an excellent instructor. I was so glad I knocked thos off my bucket list. I respect the sport Moreso now.

Our guide Pam was very mellow and supportive. I truly enjoyed learning how to paddle board. The most memorable part was seeing a turtle when I fell off the board. Great day!!

We had the best time with Lowe paddle boarding for our first time ever! It was our honeymoon and second to last day in Maui. We did just about everything we could on the island and figured we should enjoy a special activity. Boy were we in for a treat!! We thought, how could our trip get any better? And it absolutely could- and it did!! Lowe was so knowledgeable of the island, gave great instructions, recommendations, and shared stories with us. She took great amazing photo shots of us on the water and in the water with turtles and fishes! Since it was our first time paddle boarding, I was a little nervous of how strenuous the activity could be, but it really was easy (with her excellent guidance) and so much fun! The area we got to explore was so scenic and the vibes were awesome. This was by far our favorite activity. We highly recommend 10/10

Peg is simply amazing’. Great instruction. Never thought I would be able to go from sitting to standing in the ocean!! I am 53 with a bad knee and had no intention. Of standing as did not think it was possible with my limited range of motion. Great time. Highly recommend!!

TL;DR: This experience was amazing!!! Overall, we would definitely recommend that anyone considering the "Paddleboard - Private “Whale” of a Whale Watch" tour not hesitate and reserve a time with Paddle Out Maui Tours. ----------- Booking was super easy. Two days before, my wife stepped on a sea urchin and we reached out to Peg and she offered to reschedule if my wife wasn't feeling better. Peg assured us that there were other ways to paddle if my wife need to take a break. So we kept to the scheduled date and we are so glad that we did!!! The morning started off with us easily meeting up with Cole. He started with a thorough SUP 101 on land and we were off to launch from Makena Landing. I found it easy to launch and found it challenging to stand because I am used to standing sideways as a surfer. My wife on the other hand was a natural. She was had such an amazing time and her foot did not bother her at all because she was having so much fun. We saw so many whales including a couple of babies breaching out of the water. Overall, we would definitely recommend that anyone considering the "Paddleboard - Private “Whale” of a Whale Watch" tour not hesitate and reserve a time with Paddle Out Maui Tours. PS - Cole took amazing photos that we uploaded along with this review that we decided to order after we completed the tour.

Thank you to Peg and her great guides for helping us feel safe and looked after as almost all of our group tried SUP for the first time. And the amazing pictures they took made me look way more adventurous than I am IRL. A turtle sighting and a chance to hold some sea urchin were a nice bonus. The location is really close if you're in Wailea (like 5 minutes from the big hotels), but from Kaanapali it was about 40 minutes early in the morning. The landing is really packed (mostly with kayakers) but they got us in and out of the water safely. I actually started to get seasick at one point sitting on the board (happens easily to me) because the waves were a bit rough and they helped me get to shore a little early.

A great experience, Cole and Jojo were very good at explaining what to do and what to expect. We ranged in age from 74 to 9 years and they were very concerned about our safety and made it a lot of fun. We all were able to get up on the boards!!! Both Cole and Jojo were professional and very amusing.
