I’ve taken a lot of kayak and paddle board tours on Maui, but these guys are the best! Their guides are so knowledgeable and engaging. We saw so much whale action and I’ll never forget it- it was incredible! Not to mention snorkeling with the turtles- our guide got some really rad pictures of us with the turtles. You also learn a lot about everything you see. It was an awesome experience from beginning to end.
It doesn’t matter if you are coming to Maui for the first time or if you live here, this tour is worth coming on. Plus you get to eat a pineapple at the end 🙂 thanks for the awesome time, Aloha Kayaks Maui!
My guide, Peter, has an excellent knowledge of the island, the sea, the reefs, and the sport. He took me on a stand up paddle board, and with a few pointers, I was up and paddling. We paddled toward a reef where there were several sea turtles and other sea life. WHICH. WAS. AMAZING. His professionalism is unparalleled, yet he is super approachable and grounded with a great sense of humor. If you’re looking for a kayak or SUP tour company that will give the best attention to the guests, spend a little more time touring, and make sure you’re having the time of your life, book with these guys.
We had a fantastic tour this morning with Griff, our excellent guide. We all met at Makena Landing where Griff explained to us the mornings schedule and also how it’s important to preserve the fragile ocean ecosystem. He made sure we all got into the water safely and answered all of our questions. He’s an EXCELLENT tour guide.
It was a beautiful day for kayaking and snorkeling and we had an amazing time. This was my second trip back with Aloha Kayaks Maui and we will definitely be back again. Thank you for everything and we will be recommending you to all of our friends.
We took the Deluxe Makena Turtle Snorkel Tour and we were the only two that booked that day, so we had the tour guide, Griff, all to ourselves. In a word, it was amazing!! Griff was way cool, very knowledgeable about the history of Hawaii, the sea life and the ocean itself. We saw some amazing things – an 8-foot Manta Ray, breaching the water just about 25 yards away! We joined a pod of about a dozen dolphins and paddled with them for about 45 minutes. Then, we went snorkeling and saw many sea turtles. The trip was stunningly beautiful and quite spiritual. I would DEFINITELY use this company again. I can’t say enough about it – one of my favorite memories of Maui.
What a fantastic morning!!! Beautiful, magnificent, competent, confident, safe, secure, pleasant personalities….. As you can tell a simply terrific experience. Whales! turtles!! Beautiful fish – Mother Nature at her best- with wonderful guide full of information. Highly highly recommend to visitors to Maui!
Wow haven’t been kayaking in a while forgot how it felt to be in open water ,our tour guide was Jason his stories were great well not stories more like history of the island it was great that he taught us things about Hawaii that we didn’t know , we were in Makena Beach if you want to see turtles definitely the place to go and I would also recommend you go to Jason you will definitely have a good time
Our family took the trip out of Makena and had a great time with our guide Patrick. Will use them again on our return to Maui. Highest recommendation.
Great tour of Olowalu Beach. I took my wife and kids and had a blast. The guide was very informative and had great stories about the island and its history. Definitely would do this tour again.
I never typically write reviews but this experience is worth writing about. The guides were phenomenal! I have a daughter who had never done snorkeling before and the guides took their time to help her to ensure her enjoyment. It also made the experience great for my wife and I.
I definitely recommend this company!
A perfect day out on the water with Peter including whales, turtles, and great storytelling! Fun, safe and engaging, I only hope we’ll be back soon.
