I honestly cannot say enough about Paddle On! My bestie and I were celebrating our 50th birthdays with a girls' trip so wanted to try something new! Peg, the owner, was a stellar teacher for the two of us, who are, admittedly, not the most graceful and coordinated gals! She started with a lesson on the beach and then we paddled into the crystal clear Pacific. We both stood up on the first try with Peg's instruction, patience, and encouragement!!! It's harder than it looks, and we ended up in the water more than once but got back up every single time. It didn't matter that we fell off, the water was PERFECT! Midway through, we rafted up and Peg had the most lovely and thoughtful birthday toast on the water. After, we snorkeled for a bit. We saw countless fish, several turtles and even a ray!!! She took amazing pictures throughout which was incredible considering we were first-timers and a bit unsteady. After paddling back to the beach, Peg told us about the area. She sent us a carefully cultivated list of places to eat, drink, and celebrate. We took her advice and we were not disappointed. She knows her stuff!!!! I honestly feel like I've made a friend on Maui and I cannot wait to come back and Paddle On! with Peg again!

Wow! We booked a little last minute (the week of) and it absolutely worth it. Peg called the night before like she said she would and confirmed all details, and made a suggestion that we go a little earlier because the weather had been better then. And THEN she sent her own picks for local food and souvenirs! It was an absolutely perfect morning on the water. Chris, the guide, was fantastic and everyone was up and paddling about quickly. He had so much patience for the slightly anxious person too. Then came the snorkeling. My kids were in LOVE. Chris pointed out some amazing creatures, turtles, sea urchins, octopi, it was great! It's 2 weeks later and my kids STILL rave about their experience here. Mahalo nui loa!

Awesome tour. Perfect for beginner. Free and easy parking. Tristen is very patient and guided me step by step. I was able to stand up on the paddle board the first time! I also saw a sea turtle popped its head out to breathe in the air. So cute!
