Aloha Efoils at sunrise
Michelle L.

First off, let me say that I have ZERO experience in water sports and actually can't even swim, so I was naturally a bit anxious to try e-foiling during honeymoon, even though Mark Zuckerberg made it look cool. From the first moment we stepped on the sand, though, the instructors were SO kind and reassuring - letting us know we would have helmets and life jackets, and that they would be right next to us the entire time. We got there bright and early for their first lesson (7am) and were given a brief but informative training by Steve and Nick, who were really cool and funny. There was also a cute dog there who turned out to be insta-famous lol (roxyfrenchie808, in case you're curious). Everyone who came for the lesson or to just hang out seemed to know each other, so it was a really chill vibe. After a quick lesson, we were in the water and both Nick and Nicho circled us on the boards the entire time, making sure we were safe, giving us on-the-fly advice, and taking pictures and videos to share with us after the lesson. Even though I'm terrified of water, I was easily standing on the board within 45 minutes, ready to advance to the e-foiling part. My hubby and I had a blast the entire time, and we ended up going back for another lesson ON THE MORNING OF our 11:30am flight. That's how fun it was, haha. I would definitely give the whole experience and the instructors 5 stars and would come back again if we were ever vacationing in Maui. Thank you Aloha E-foils for a great honeymoon experience!! Tips (for an inexperienced water buffalo like me): (1) Hydrate and get plenty of rest the night before, because it can get tiring if you fall as many times as I did. (2) Bring or wear a rash guard to avoid scuffing up elbows or your belly getting back on the board (also because it might be slightly chilly in the AM). (3) Don't be afraid to go full-speed and stand up as quickly as possible - the instructors will encourage you to do this. After you stand up one time, you'll realize how easy it is (like riding a bike), and you can spend the rest of your time learning to rise up out of the water, which in my opinion was the hardest part but very do-able on your first lesson. (4) Even though it was nice for a honeymoon, you'll save more money if you come with a large group. It also makes you feel safer to have people around you while in the water.

Just stepped off one of the funnest boards I've ever ridden! I was a bit skeptical at first. I have ridden plenty of water crafts, from surfboards, to wake boards, skis, OC-1, etc. How fun could an e-foil really be? OMG. Grinning from ear-to-ear for hours kind of fun, that's how much. The guys at Aloha put on a 5-star show. We arrived at 7am and got a quick but fun briefing on how to work the foil and some tips on how to get the most out of the experience. Within 15 minutes we were on the water and, well.... foiling! Even those that had no board experience were up and riding quickly. The hand controller was so easy to operate - almost intuitively so. Within another 20 minutes I was making smooth turns and zipping right along. The location is nothing but breath-taking. It was an ethereal experience for me, kinda like riding a magic carpet across the sea. Waaaaaay better than expected! I thought I'd be out there for days, but after a couple hours on the water we were all ready to come in; you definitely get your money's worth here. Back on shore I was greeted by high-fives and fresh water to shower off. When I arrived home, I had an entire album of photos to share with my friends. Totally over-the-top service with these guys

Tried something new this week which was a lot of fun! Steve-O and Keone provided great instruction then we went out to practice. Learned to kneel then stand then turn and soon I was flying! Great fun! Must do it again!

Great day!!!

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!

Instruction was great, vibes were immaculate, and we had a really great time and caught a lot of waves for our first time ever on a surfboard. Our instructor Bryan was not only a good hang, but thorough and attentive in teaching us and did a great job making sure us newbies stayed safe. So glad we booked this! I see some negative comments about the photos on here and I just want to say I had a great experience with that. We did buy the album because the photos were pretty sick and it's our honeymoon. But if I didn't want to buy them it wouldn't have been a big deal as they didn't pressure us at all. In fact we approached the guy with the photos out of our own interest. No one was tryna get us to do anything. Anyways the whole experience was worth every penny!

Shout out to Mikey who was a great surf instructor for my husband and kids. 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 booked through Viator and for two people ( my husband and I) was $216.00…read more Pros: very responsive information sent by text including pictures of where to meet. 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.

If I could give more than five stars for our surf lesson with Ryan from Maui Surf, I absolutely…read morewould! Hands down, Ryan is the BEST instructor I have ever had, and I've had previous beginner lessons. This experience was on another level--one of those rare, unforgettable moments that stay with you forever. I've surfed a bit before, so I went in thinking this would just be a refresher for me. My husband (age 64) had never surfed and was a bit apprehensive. But Ryan's skill, patience, and unparalleled ability to connect with his students completely transformed the experience for both of us. He took the time to understand our individual needs and tailored the lesson perfectly, blending just the right amount of technical guidance with encouragement and humor. Before we even touched the water, Ryan gave us the most thorough and engaging on-land lesson I've ever experienced. He didn't just teach us how to pop up on the board--he explained the mechanics of surfing, wave dynamics, and safety tips in a way that was clear, detailed, and easy to absorb. By the time we hit the waves, Mark (and I!) felt more confident than ever. But Ryan didn't stop there. He wove the spirit of Aloha into every moment of the lesson, teaching us about the Hawaiian language, culture, and the deep connection Hawaiians have with their land and ocean. His stories about the islands, the meanings of Hawaiian place names, care for the ocean, and his insights into the natural beauty around us elevated the experience to something truly profound. It wasn't just a surf lesson; it was a cultural and ecological immersion. And then came the magic. Not only did Mark manage to get up on the board (on his first try, no less!), but we were treated to the most breathtaking sights while surfing. Whales were breaching in the distance, and turtles swam gracefully by as if they were cheering us on. Ryan's excitement and genuine joy made it all the more special--he celebrated every moment with us, making us feel like pros out there! Ryan also had mounted GoPros on our boards (included in the price) and captured the most incredible action shots of us riding the waves! These weren't your typical blurry or off-center photos--they were absolutely magazine-worthy. Ryan has an amazing eye for timing and composition, selecting those exhilarating moments when we were standing tall on the board, surrounded by the sparkling ocean. The photos were so vibrant and professional-looking that they'll forever be a cherished keepsake of this unforgettable day. He truly went above and beyond to make sure every detail of our experience was exceptional! Ryan's energy and passion are infectious, and his dedication to his craft is unmatched. Whether you're a complete beginner like Mark or someone who's surfed before, like me, he has a way of making you feel like you can conquer anything. I've had good instructors in the past, but Ryan blew them all out of the water (pun intended!). If you're on Maui and even thinking about trying surfing, do yourself a favor and book a lesson with Ryan at Maui Surf. You'll walk away not only with new skills but also with a heart full of Aloha and memories that will last a lifetime. Mahalo, Ryan--you've truly set the bar sky-high! ‍

Our coach/guide/ instructor or whatever you want to call it was a native of Lahaina and knew his stuff! His strength was impressive as he had to "toe" us into some choppy waters to get to where we could get into the waves. I'm not a small guy and he hauled me around with ease! I've gone out a few times before but never with formal lessons and this experience beat them all! They guaranteed us we would get up on a wave and my wife and I both did on multiple waves! It was an amazing feeling! We were the only ones on the water when we started and it was so serene and peaceful! Ryan was a great instructor and really showed care for us. We loved our time and hope many others will choose his company for their surfing experience in Maui! Mahalo Ryan!
