This was such an incredible experience! It was my first time on a paddleboard, and I was honestly nervous even to try--but Peg was amazing. She coached me through every step and had me standing before I knew it! The setting was beautiful, and after paddle boarding we went snorkeling and saw so many fish--and even had a turtle swim right underneath us. To top it all off, Peg ended the tour with a surprise "Party on the Ocean," which was absolutely delightful! An unforgettable morning on the water in Maui and a wonderful confidence boost for someone who's usually a little scared of the ocean. Highly recommend! read more

Paddle On! Maui - Paddleboarding Near Me - Kihei, Hawaii

Emily was a wonderful guide! Great pace, answered all my questions, and stopped at a great spot for snorkeling. Fantastic experience!

Peg was the sweetest, gentlest guide you could possibly ask for. She taught us everything we needed to know about paddle boarding, and even though it was my first time, it was easy with her guidance. While we were on the water, we took a few breaks to admire the scenery and learn about the history and geography of the island. We finished with a snorkel adventure spotting a fair number of sea turtles hanging out in the reef below us! Peg went above and beyond to make sure that not only our paddle board experience was excellent, but also our entire vacation. She sent an extensive list with recommended local spots to eat, hike, and enjoy while we were in Maui. We are actively referencing the list every single day! read more

This is our first time in Maui and we wanted to do something adventurous so we picked SUP. We booked it through TripAdvisor and got a 7:15am lesson for the whole family. We had no idea what to expect but Peg and her team (Brittany & Mona) made it a extremely wonderful experience for us! Peg checked in with us a couple days before and made sure we knew where to go and meet with them. Once we got there, she greeted us and learned all our names! She took her time explaining all the steps very carefully and address all safety issues very seriously. Once we got on the water, she continued to guide us and teach us tips of SUP. By the end of lesson, we all learned to stand up and paddle the board around! Peg and her team really came through above and beyond. Highly recommended for anyone willing to try SUP boarding. read more

Waters were pretty rough on the day we went and they were worried about us being able to get off the beach. They offered to reschedule us but our plans for the rest of our trip didn't allow it. I said we have past experience with paddle boarding, and that we would rather go out and see how it goes. Mona, our guide, allowed us to go out on the water, which I really appreciated since she could have just as easily said she didn't feel comfortable letting us go out. The waters were even more choppy than I had expected, but we managed to find our footing. We saw 1 turtle but not much else due to the choppy water. Again though, the ocean is unpredictable, and you never know what you're going to get. If we had to do it again, I would have probably booked the snorkel tour just so there was more to see, but it was still a great overall experience. 5/5 would do again. For those reading this, temper expectation as the ocean does what it wants. read more

Peg and her team (Chris, Emily, and Tristan) created such a fun and memorable experience for our family which included 3 little ones 3yo, 6yo, 8yo. Being a non-swimmer, and going out with young kids, I was quite nervous at the idea of ocean SUP, but the team made it so easy, and safe out and back. Chris and Emily were so great with the kids and it was one of their favorite memories in Maui. Would highly recommend for all ages and all swim levels (coming for a complete non swimmer). Mahalo for such a great time. read more

Highlight of our trip! We originally booked our trip for 9:15 on Monday, but Peg alerted us that the water was already getting choppy for first time riders. We rescheduled for the next day when Brittany and Scott took us out first thing in the morning. While one of our crew of four dropped out due to the time change, he immediately regretted it when we recounted our day. We paddleboarded right next to several dozens of sea turtles and were able to get some great underwater photos while snorkeling as well. Brittany and Scott were informative in the knowledge of Maui, and they were such a blast to spend the morning with. We can't wait to come back for humpback season again, and this time we'll definitely sign up to paddleboard with these two again. Thanks again for showing us such an amazing time! read more

I had a wonderful private SUP tour with Paddle On! Maui! this morning. I am deaf with cochlear implants. Unfortunately, the aqua kit I ordered arrived just before I was leaving and it was missing a critical piece so I was deaf on the water. Lowe was a wonderful guide/instructor. I am fairly experienced SUPing on lakes but this was my first time dealing with surf. She taught me how to launch and beach through surf. She was also able to sight whales and turtles and, once off the water, explained what the whales were doing out there (the males attempting to win the mating lottery with a female). Really fun. She was extremely understanding of the deafness and able to communicate as needed on the water. Unlike some pros, she was professional and never condescending. It was a great way to start my day. I highly recommend this company. read more

What an incredible adventure. My entire family learned to stand up paddle board for the first time from these kind and patient experts. After a perfect day on the water paddling and swimming with sea turtles I developed a life long love of paddle boarding. We had a wonderful experience I will never forget. read more

I have never been on a paddle board before. Our instructor Brittany was very helpful demonstrating how to get on and off the board before entering the water. Only falling in the water once it was easy to catch on and she went at a good pace keeping close by and telling us about the island. Brittany was an excellent teacher and took some great pictures and even pointed out some turtles we saw along the way. I would highly recommend this adventure to anyone looking to try something new. read more

Paddle On! was one of the best decisions we made on Maui. We booked a private tour with Brittney and she was a great guide/host. She had some Maui fun facts to point out...we had nice breaks...and she had plenty of fruit and water for us. At the end of the trip, she and Peg gave of some great recommendations for fun on the island. Don't wait...book now!! Off to the Barmuda Triangle!!!! Mahalo read more

We went with our extended family on the kayak/snorkel tour with Paddle On! and it was great! There were 3 kids (ages 4, 6 and 9) and 3 adults and we all had a great time. Our guides were experienced, knowledgeable, patient and fun. Once the kids got tired of snorkeling, they had a great time being entertained on the kayak by one of our guides which the rest of us kept snorkeling. I would highly recommend Paddle On! Maui! read more

Brittany was just amazing. She taught details but kept the experience fun. She has everything you need for an awesome safe day at sea, plus snacks. As good as it gets. read more

We loved our morning out with Brittany! It was so nice to experience paddle boarding with a private group (not just a bunch of random people). The experience was amazing and very personal. Even when one of us got sea sick (take some Bonine if you think you might get queasy!) Brittany was totally awesome about it. She took the time to carefully return the wifey to shore and got her situated before returning to our lesson. We saw the most amazing and gorgeous turtles! Brittany even pointed out the nearby islands and landmarks (and a famous athletes home!). She even told us about some great spots not to miss on the island. We did everything she suggested and was not disappointed! She took great pictures and emailed them straight to us. Highly recommend this tour! read more

What a fabulous experience! Brittney was amazing! I've never been on a paddle board before and she easily explained the ins and outs of paddling in a few minutes. I was out on the water quickly. She was encouraging and helpful in her instruction. I had a wonderful time. Saw a couple of turtles too! She pointed out land marks and told stories of different things on the island. It was the best experience I had on the island this trip! Highly recommend booking with Paddle On Maui! She will also give you great recommendations of things to do on the island. She is how we discovered Sugar Beach Bake Shop! I recommend going first thing in the morning. Before it gets too hot. Also the day I went the wind picked up after I went. read more

We had a fantastic time. This is our third time out with this company. Awesome every time. The guides are so good and so knowledgeable, we felt completely safe out there with our kids. Highly recommend. read more

If your in Maui and wanting to try SUP this is the company to go with! We had so much fun with Brittany our guide. She was knowledgeable about the area and helped us beginners find our balance. We saw multiple turtles within minutes of being on the ocean. Our tour was scheduled from 7:15a and supposed to be 2 hours; however, Brittany kept us out on the water longer and checked out a few extra areas. She brought water, snacks and towels for us. We paid for the pictures and I'm super excited to see how they turn out. When we come back to Maui we will be in touch with Paddle On again. Thanks for such an awesome last day experience before we head home. read more

What an awesome experience!! With the option to try some yoga, snorkel and watch the sunrise over the volcano from the ocean I couldn't think of a better way to spend the morning in Maui. Brittany was an excellent guide, patient with the weather making sure to keep us safe and stable on the boards and full of adventure! I'm so glad we did it :) read more

If you want to go paddle boarding, go with Paddle On! Maui - Peg is awesome and super sweet. Hubby and I booked a session and due to the weather and rough water, Peg called and we moved it. She's super proactive and makes sure you're comfortable. We stayed in Kaanapali and drove to Polo Beach in Wailea - about 45 min but SO worth it. Peg surprised us with an ocean picnic resting on our boards. She took lots of great pics on the water and on the beach. Will definitely book again with Peg! read more

Paddle On! Maui - Wailea Feb 2017 with Paddle On Maui! - Paddleboarding Near Me - Kihei, Hawaii

Peg and team were amazing during our private SUP 101. Service was excellent from the beginning. Peg's experience of the ocean and guiding us towards calmer waters throughout our time helped us feel safe and made for a fun outing. The photos Peg took were stunning and she even captured several great shots of us with the sea turtles. This was a highlight of our vacation! read more

Peg is a great instructor and fun to be with. My son-in-law Mike and I enjoyed our morning session with her. I recommend doing the sunrise session because the waters are very calm and you can enjoy the sunrise over Polo Beach. Afterwards have breakfast and a Bloody Mary at a nearby place that Peg will tell you about. Perfect way to start the day! read more

Great paddle tour off Wailea! The day we went there was a bit of swell but Peg and her staff made sure we were safe. It was the beginning of whale watching season and during our paddle were blessed with seeing a half dozen whales and two came up 20-30ft ahead of us but it seemed much closer, quite a thrilling sight! Mahalo Peg for getting a photo of us with the whales in the background. Doing double duty as not only a informative tour guide of Maui, Whales, conservation, but also a top notch photographer. read more

Peg was the best! I'm nervous in the ocean and 5 months pregnant, she stayed with me and my husband the whole time and made me feel comfortable. Literally the best time we had in Maui. We snorkelled and saw dolphins and sea turtles and chilled on our boards with complementary water and fruit. It was the highlight of our trip. We got some amazing photos taken as well. I highly recommend Peg! read more

We had such an amazing experience with Peg at Paddle On! She's such a great guide!! She definitely went above and beyond with such great energy! Highly recommend this place! Thank you so much, Peg!! You made our first stand up paddle board such a great adventure! read more

One of the best decisions we made on our holiday. Though a bit on the pricey side, we really felt it was worth it. Brittany was instantly welcoming and took excellent care of us the entire time. This was our first time paddle boarding, and Brittany was encouraging and super friendly. She was also very knowledgeable about the reef, wildlife and Hawaiian history. We opted for the photo add on, and were so impressed with Brittany's commitment to snapping great shots with the right lighting. We had a blast and highly recommend. read more

Peg and her team go beyond professional, they are simply fun and genuinely good people. Peg knows the island well and pretty much became my Maui concierge haha, sorry Peg. Our group had a blast! You'll go for a tour and come back with an amazing experience and some great friend. read more

Our family of five (3 Kids- 8, 10, 13) had the most amazing time with Peg and Brittney. Our youngest was very apprehensive about getting on a board, and Peg went above and beyond to make him comfortable with the water. It was the perfect balance so the rest of us could enjoy our time without having to worry about our 8-year old. These two ladies can turn anyone into a fearless paddler - it was awesome! We saw turtles and fish, gorgeous landscapes and had fun with our photo session. The overall trip was about 2.5/3 hours and we would definitely return- highly recommended! Peg was also great about giving us local tips and places to go, including arranging an oceanside lunch with mimosas post paddle. Thank you for such an incredible time- we Maui. read more

We were so excited to see the variety of experiences offered by Paddle On! Maui, but were bummed that we didn't learn of them until the end of our trip. With little expectation that they would be able to schedule us so last minute, we called and spoke to Peg, and even though they were already fully booked, she made several phone calls to "call-in" another instructor on their day off to accommodate us. For an island full of excellent customer service, the attention and warmth we got from Paddle On! Maui has been unmatched. We will definitely be scheduling with them on our return to Maui! read more

Our paddle tour was excursion was an incredible experience. My family (wife, 12-year-old daughter, and 10-year-old son) decided that this adventure sounded like a great time, and it exceeded our expectations. In fact, on the trip home, when I asked the kids about their favorite experience, both answered without hesitation, "the paddleboard trip". It was a beautiful morning, the water was calm, the equipment was top-notch, and the guides were amazing. For three of us, this was our first paddleboarding experience, and our guides were patient, calm, interactive (without being intrusive), knowledgeable, and explained the experience and technique to us in an understandable, encouraging, and instructive manner. The guides were flexible with the time and the experience, and they even brought a camera to take some great pictures. We took some time to snorkel and saw an abundance of fish and turtles. The guides even had a little snack for us (and water) during the trip. I would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Maui. read more

Brittney took us on an excellent paddle tour in Wailea. The whales weren't out but we had a wonderful time and can't wait to check out the other tours Paddle On! offers on our next trip to Maui, which can't be soon enough! When you book, ask for Brittney's tour. She's a great guide, easy to talk to, and full of great info! read more

This tours is amazing!! Britney made us experience our first time paddle boarding experience as the best !! She knows a lot about the history, and details about whales,turtles, about Maui that you end that learning a lot! Plus she takes a lot of photos to keep them in our memories! And cannot miss mentioning Peg who accommodated our tour based on weather , amazing girls!!! Very happy to celebrate my birthday with this tour!! read more

Awesome experience for my wife and I. Brittany was a great instructor and guide! Had a blast and want to go again. Definitely do the snorkel package so you can see some turtles. read more

Disappointed in the customer svc and other factors. I really wanted to like the tour for what we were paying, but there were too many negatives. First off, the guide said they'd meet us at the hotel. After 10 mins I called and they said "Sorry, I forgot." Then there was confusion as to where to meet and the guide made me feel like it was my fault. Second is the price. I agreed to pay it, but there is MUCH bigger bang for your buck available elsewhere (whole day boat/snorkel tour AND fed twice for same price). Lastly, I brought a camera to take pics, but the guide kept taking pics for us. I thought that was so nice until after the paddle they said they'd send them to me for fifty bucks! The paddle itself was cool, but the other factors made it disappointing overall. read more

Unreasonable prices and most of the reviews seem fake A little bit to money motivated for my taste. There needs to be a balance. Don't treat people like fools please read more

My fiancé and I had the best experience with Peg and the whole Paddle On! Maui team. We booked a 7:15am paddle board whale watch excursion and we could not have dreamed of a better experience. Peg knew exactly where to go to see the whales! We were able to see a whale surface three times and listened to him sing for us. It was nothing short of amazing. Also, Peg was able to capture some unbelievable photos of us with the whale. If you are looking for an unforgettable experience while on Maui you MUST book an excursion with Paddle On! read more

When I think back to my recent vacation in Maui, the first thing things that come to mind are our exciting adventures with Peg and Brittany of Paddle On! We couldn't have been happier with the personal care and attention with which this company operates. No doubt, our next trip will be planned around further activities with this outfit. I can't wait! read more

Booked a private paddle board with Peg and she was amazing! Got all four of us rookies up and paddling even though we didn't have the best of conditions! She is a real pro and we all had such a good time. We also went on a kayak & snorkel tour with Garret and we saw so much! Garret is a real pro and has so much knowledge. We really wanted to go on the hike but we ran out of time - can't wait to come here again. Doing a private tour for both of these adventures was the best thing we did! Love Peg - she went out of her way to make sure that we had the best experience ever. read more

Our favorite excursion on Maui. Peg was an amazing instructor and guide on the water. Neither of us had ever down SUP before and both of us were nervous. We recommend buying the picture package they bring their camera on the water if you check the box during online reservations. Bring a card or $50 cash to actual session because they don't charge you for pictures until after you have taken them on your tour. We went on the sunrise Whale watching tour our first day and Peg changed our tour date/time for us when she realized the weather was going to be windy. I am pregnant and the day/time change made the experience AMAZING. We saw two whale tails and heard a bit of one singing; I had hoped to hear more of them but regardless it was still worth every penny. 1st. Great instruction and great equipment 2nd. Beautiful views, fun experience and learned great local info and sea life info from Peg on the SUP. 3rd Just fun and unique experience with an awesome friendly staff. 4th We got to jump off the boards at the end and snorkel and saw a 4ft turtle swimming with us and a baby turtle swimming close by. This is a small new business and Peg and her staff were professional and so much fun. Highly Recommend this company I will be using this company again for futrue excursions. Thanks Peg and Team. read more

My husband and I paddled out with Brittany and had an amazing time. We have been paddle boarding before but decided that it would be nice to have a guide show us some sweet snorkeling spots. We saw turtles, did some yoga, ate some fruit and just had a nice relaxing time on the water. Was worth the money simply because Brittany was so awesome but it was also nice to just show up to the beach and jump on the board. No hassle or stress. Highly recommend! read more

What an amazing adventure! Peg was a wonderful teacher to us 3 novices who have never stepped a foot on a paddle board. The water was rougher than most days but our safety was top of mind for Peg. Waiting for the waters to calm made me a little more nervous, but once you're out there it's go time! Peg talked us through every step and gave us encouragement until we could paddle on our own and enjoy the views!! And wow, what a sight! Especially the turtles!! Taking time in between for photo shoots, a water and snack break, and sitting on our boards to relax before heading back in made it feel like the adventure lasted forever. It was such a great experience, especially thanks to Peg who was so knowledgable about Hawaii that we not only learned how to paddle board, but more about the wonderful island we were lucky enough to experience by land and sea. read more
