I have been coming to Maui for 20 plus years. Scotty and his private kayak tour is the best experience we have every had on the island. I hope you are lucky enough to book a private tour!! He knows this island and he knows the ocean. Absolutely fantastic trip. There is no better way to see the whales!! Don't hesitate book this trip. Thanks Scotty!! My kids will carry the memories of this trip for them for ever.. thanks so much. Mary LaMeres Pomin read more

Great customer service. Very friendly. Had a broken piece of equipment and the got it replaced the next morning. Very responsive

We booked an 11am excursion - weather was perfect with a slight breeze which made the paddling a bit interesting. Our awesome guide Ryan was perfect for my anxiety ridden Husband. It was just us and another couple. Ryan's instructions and laid back attitude calmed everyone - the other person was first timer and she did well with her husband. We were lucky to be able to spot some turtles and two endangered monk seals frolicking in the water. Learned a bit about the surrounding islands and the shark pit! My husband at the bend of the day felt accomplished and actually enjoyed himself. Ryan is from San Diego and both couples from CA as well. We were from Northern and the other from Southern. CA represent! Highly recommend Ryan. The beach is also perfect for snorkeling and just chilling out. Went in for a dip and swim. Great day! mahalo! Very reasonably priced as well. read more

Overall, I highly recommend them. I was pleasantly surprised that they offer delivery of the snorkeling gear to your hotel! I wanted to pick the gear up myself considering the pickup location is on my way from OGG airport to my hotel in Kihei. The pickup process was very easy--grab and go! Same for drop off process--drop and go! They provide very timely communication regarding pickup and drop off via email (my preferred way). I rented the snorkeling gear for a whole week, however, I wasn't able to go snorkeling at all due to physical condition. After letting them know the situation, they provided partial refund. I really appreciate it. Great stuff, great communication, highly recommended. read more

Booked a morning-of kayak rental and they were super helpful and prompt. Couldn't have been a simpler way to get in the water, and kayaking around is a great way to see the island and whales. They even had an extra dry bag that they let me use, which was essential. A great way to spend a day on the water! read more

MOR is very affordable choice for renting the snorkel in Maui. Scott is very flexible in delivering and picking up the gear. All you need to go to website before a day and place the order. Next day before 1 PM he will be delivering gear to your door step. I highly recommend even some one plan to do snorkel for single day because rent is very cheap and it is weekly basis. 25$ per week for each snorkel. Other business are changing hourly 15$ which are sitting next to beaches. read more

Scotty was easy to communicate with and extremely flexible regarding drop off and pick up times. His equipment is obviously used, but we did not encounter any problems with either of the two kayaks we rented as well as the SUP. He even left us an assortment of variously sized life jackets (at my request) because we had 7 people sharing the 3 watercraft. We will rent from him again read more

Scott and MOR made it easy. They dropped off the SUPs and paddles when we asked, and picked them up right on time. They even provided a cable and lock so we could secure them outside and not lug them up to our room each time. Thanks! read more

Great company with excellent customer service. We rented snorkeling gear for a group of four and it was delivered to our condos front door the morning. The gear was in good condition, and it all worked with no issues. I highly recommend Maui Ocean Rentals. read more

We rented 2 paddle boards and 1 double Kayak from Maui Ocean Rentals and couldn't be happier! Prices were the best I found and Scott was awesome! The drop off and pick up was completely handled by Scott, making it beyond easy! We were able to text/call him at any time with questions and he was willing and able to accommodate our request for an extension without any hiccups. Ask Scott about his 40th birthday whale adventure! Haha :D We will definitely rent from MOR the next time we are in Maui! read more

MOR was a breeze to work with. Dropped off and picked up kayak at our place in Kihei. They were very accommodating. Equipment was in pristine condition. Absolutely recommend! read more

We rented two boogie boards from MOR. We went back and forth about renting, worried they wouldn't get used, but I'm happy to report that we used them everyday. I placed the online order in the morning expecting that we'd get them sometime that afternoon. Scott happened to be in the neighborhood and dropped them off about an hour after. Pick up was great too. We had an early morning flight so Scott said we could leave them in our rental condo and he'd pick them up later that morning. MOR had good equipment and super convenient, friendly service. I highly recommend them. read more

Maui Ocean Rentals was great to work with. Easy delivery and pickup of 2 SUP's and a kayak we rented for 8 days. Equipment was in great shape. We were going to rent a day early so that we could have them early our first morning - but Scott brought them early for us and saved us a days rental fee! Would definitely use them again!! read more

Scott was amazing! We had a great time and saw so many turtles! He got some wonderful shots on his camera too! We felt so comfortable in the water and he was very knowledgeable of the area. His tour is a must if you're in the Kihei area! read more

My wife and I were at the beach when I saw a guy heading out with his paddle board. He was kind of instructing others so I assumed he was a guide or had stuff to rent. Turns out he was just a local with friends in town, luckily he did refer me to MOR. I contacted Scotty through the website and had 2 very nice ocean kayaks delivered early the next day. I had no idea how easy and convenient renting gear could be... it was delivered and kept on my patio for the 3 days I needed them. It was so nice to be able to launch basically from the backyard of the place we were renting. In addition to providing great quality products, they have great customer service as well. I will absolutely be calling again the next time we're on Maui. read more

We had rented snorkels for our family for our trip to Kihei. After we placed the order on their website, they contacted us and confirmed the address of the condo we were staying at, and delivered them at our room. Each snorkel kit had goggles, snorkel, flippers, and a bag to carry the kit. They also included a bottle of defogger that worked great, they were perfect for us.They called us the day before we were leaving to setup a pickup time, and showed up right on time and took them from our room. It was just a great experience all around! read more

Cannot beat this service if you are visiting Maui! Having a kayak and snorkel equipment for a whole week - without picking up from a store - was extremely convenient. I did plenty of research before booking with MOR and trust me - this is the company you want to work with! Thank you Scotty! read more

My sister and I took a private stand up paddle board tour with MOR and it was one of the highlights of our trip. Scotty was professional, communicative and provided great customer service. I had paddle boarded before and my sister had never been. He worked well with our different experience levels. She didn't think she would be able to stand up and he coached her thru it and she was up no problem on his great boards and I learned a lot as well. He also brought snorkel equipment and we were treated to a snorkel and we were so fortunate to see turtles! I love that he took pictures of our trip including under water shots. Such a great experience being on the water and seeing the land and ocean from a SUP. A wonderful experience overall, I highly recommend you include this on your must do list for Maui. read more

We did a private kayak tour to see the whales with Scott. Just do yourself a favor and book Scott and don't waste your time with the other guides. He leaves a little earlier than the other guides and it is so worth it. We were out there all by ourselves and got to really take in the beauty and tranquility of being out there with the anticipation of seeing the whales. Scott was very good at predicting (with the help of his daughter LexI who was visiting) where the whales would surface by listening to their songs and reading the "cues" on the surface of water. Scott did all of the searching and of course the other tour guides showed up and it turned into a free for all and they basically surrounded us. A few of the guides who joined up with us were very loud and runied what was a peacful experience. It turned into an episode of Wicked Tuna when they showed up. Despite all of that we got to hear the whales sing and see them swim right underneath our kayaks before surfacing. read more

Scotty was a great host and guide. We spent a fantastic morning padding to some great snorkeling sites where we were up close with many tutrles. He was highly knowledgeable about the area. Highly recommended. read more

Couldn't be happier about Maui Ocean Rentals, it seems like we just thought about what we wanted and it was delivered straight to our doorstep! So easy and hassle free, just the way you would want it on vacation. They came the morning we left and picked everything up. Easy Peasy read more

We didn't have any umbrellas in our condo so we rented them. So easy to do online and they delivered right away. Free delivery too.

Quality clean equipment. Easy to order. Fast and easy delivery. Great people. Highly recommend.

Great service!! Chairs, boogie boards, umbrellas, and rolling ice chest... Dropped off at our resort and picked up at vacation end. Very easy! Book early as we were to late to rent surf boards. I would definitely use them again. read more

We enjoyed our kayaks from Maui Ocean Rentals very much, & Scotty was great! He actually brought them the evening before our rental began because he had a tour he was doing the next day. He answered all of our questions, & was very easy to reach/phone when we let him know that we were done with them & could be picked up. We were able to get the low-profile kayaks since they were available, & they were great on the ocean! Definitely recommend this company!! Thank you Scotty! read more

Great price for the a multi-day SUP rental. Easy and free delivery and pickup. The guy was super friendly and easy to work with.

We rented a boogie board, beach umbrella and a bean bag toss/ latter ball game for a week during our stay in Kihei. All the equipment was really nice. Best part is they drop the items off to our condo and then come pick them up as well. Super nice people and a great easy experience. read more

Came right to our condo. Dropped everything off and picked it up at the end. Could not have asked for anything better! Carried to kayak to the beach for us and locked it up! Great! read more

We did a kayaking/snorkeling tour with Scotty, it was fantastic! As mentioned by someone else, he leaves earlier than the other tours, and he took us to a great location where we were immediately swimming with turtles. We saw a ton of different fish, eels, octopus, and even a family of rays that swam by us! Scotty took a lot of great photos too, to remember it all. Definitely book your snorkeling tour with Scotty, we had a great time! read more

PERFECT Corrina & Scott @ Maui Ocean Rentals Aloha From start to finish this was exceptional experience.. First contact response was within minutes... Corrinna answered all questions. Renting 2 Stand Up Paddle Boards for a week. Great price.. boards were just right for beginners. Arranged delivery was on time and very helpful. We were unaware of no locked storage area available to us on property ... so Scott provided locks, cable, and bungie so we could secure the boards on property. Our one week rental was just perfect. We highly reccommend Maui Ocean Rentals Show less read more

We were referred to MOR by our condo management company. I contacted them online because we wanted to rent snorkeling equipment and beach umbrellas. We ended up renting three sets of snorkeling gear and two beach umbrellas for a week, which only cost $20/item. Corrinne was responsive and they offered delivery and p/u service, which was perfect and when we flew home, we left the items on our porch. Because Hurricane Lane hit the week before, I decided to ask Corrine what the status was for Wailea. She updated me via email and was terrific. I would give her and this company more stars if I had them! Rent from here...much less than on the beach and better service! read more

Great service and very flexible. Double kayak was in great shape and came with all accessories. Will use again.

Super clear rentals options, easy delivery to our rental and pick up on time. All rentals were good quality.

Scott was so easy to work with, brought a great stand up paddle board to where we were staying, and knew where I could get it stored for easy access to the water. The online scheduling and payment system was a breeze too. read more

Awesome experience renting kayaks and paddle board for ten days- delivered right to our rental cottage and picked them up when we left! Great quality equipment too! read more

Scotty was great for our private kayaking and snorkeling tour! Definitely a once in a lifetime experience and so happy to have booked with MOR and Scotty. We saw several green sea turtles up close (while keeping a respectful distance between us and them...gotta respect nature). Scotty was great at helping my husband and I to snorkel for our first time ever, explaining to us what to do step-by-step. He took us out earlier than the other kayaking/snorkel groups and so we really got to see a lot without us or the wildlife being disturbed by too many people being around. He was also very knowledgeable about the area and gave us great recommendations for other places to go and check out before we left. He also took great pictures of us underwater (my husband has them in his email...otherwise I would have posted them!), so we will definitely have these memories forever. Would recommend everyone wanting to do a snorkel tour in Maui to book with Scotty! read more

This was one of the coolest experiences I've ever been on. Scott was a very nice and helpful tour guide. He was able to show us nice spots to snorkel. We got really close to turtles and the water was really nice. Very cool and funny!! read more

Scott and Karina (I'm probably spelling that wrong, sorry!) were super awesome. The hubs and I really wanted to get out on the water in a kayak in the later half of the day to do some exploring and catch the sunset. The first day we called they went out to check the ocean conditions (we were staying in Kaanapali and M.O.R. is located in Kihei 45 mins away - so worth the drive!!) and let us know that it was rough out there and they didn't want us to waste a drive and the rental $$ cuz getting out would be sketchy. How cool is that?? These guys care about their customers. Luckily the waters calmed down a few days later and we were able to get out. Scott got us all set up with our kayak, vests, and even a dry bag for our stuff (I think my ziploc baggies amused him lol). He even walked it out to the shore with my hubs so I didn't have to lug it out there... I'm no princess but that made me very happy! He gave us awesome advice on where to go and how to be safe, let us know where the wind would come in and advised we head that direction so we wouldn't get pushed down shore on our way in and then helped us launch. The winds picked up so we came in a little before sunset and sat on the beach to watch the sun go down. Scott must have been worried we got lost out there (we're newbies to kayaking) cuz he met us down on the beach right about sunset time. Then he helped us lug the kayak back in! Seriously, cannot recommend these guys highly enough! We will surely be back out next Maui visit! read more

Did a week-long snorkeling gear rental - cheap and front door delivery! Also booked a 2.5 hr private kayak and snorkeling tour with Scott, and it was awesome! Scott took me, hubby and my 14 yr old out from Makena Landing to sea turtle feeding grounds. We left early at 7 am to beat the crowds and take advantage of the calm waters. Right off the bat we saw a manta ray! The kayaks were great, easy to maneuver. Scott knows exactly where to anchor to find sea turtles and nice coral reefs. Tons of tropical fish! Loved the experience, and would highly recommend this for anyone looking for a small group, private experience. read more

I needed two stand-up paddleboards to participate in a memorial for a dear late friend, and Maui Ocean Rentals really saved the day. Everything about the service here was great: it was easy, convenient, and reasonably priced at $40/day for a SUP. In addition, Scott was incredibly professional and friendly, which really helped set a positive tone for the memorial experience. A big thank you to Scott and Maui Ocean Rentals! Our memorial couldn't have gone better. I'll definitely be back to rent again! read more
