My family of four signed up for a lesson with Peg and Emily. They were great and we had a wonderful time. Peg is a thoughtful and considerate instructor. She explained paddle boarding perfectly. We all were standing up on the boards in no time. Even though we fell into the water quite a bit, we had a blast because that’s a part of the fun. Emily worked with the kids and they loved hanging out with her. They were doing tricks on the boards immediately. It was a beautiful day in Turtle Town. As we were returning to shore we saw a big turtle swimming under my board.

This was a truly awesome experience. Peg has a lot of patience and is a great teacher. My wife and I both had a great time! We would definitely recommend this experience to anyone.

Husband, son and daughter-14 and 11 took the lesson. My son knows swimming, my daughter knows a bit. Husband does not know how to swim. Pam is super nice and patient and an excellent coach. All three learned to paddle in this class, kids can even stand and paddle! They also paddled to snorkling area, kids did snorkling, pam even taught my daughter how to swim. Pam also spend extra hours with kids in ocea. Kids had so much fun! Another thing is kids forgot googles. Pam texted us and dropped google to our hotel! Super nice! Really great experience!

My 10yo daughter and I went out on paddle boards with Marie and had a wonderful time. She was patient with my daughter’s nerves about the ocean and made sure both of us had a splendid time. We were lucky the winds calmed down and we were able to go. We paddled to snorkeling spot and saw lots of fish, got to touch a red pencil urchin and an octopus. Would definitely recommend this SUP tour to all. Marie also took pictures throughout the tour and edited them before sending later that evening.

The private paddle was one of the best experiences I had in my life! First, they arranged a schedule for our flight, and there was no way to express how thankful we were. When we arrived, the guides, Peg and Brittany, gave a step-by-step lesson so my family could follow and stand up on the paddle boats by ourselves. It was a fantastic experience! Peg and Brittany put our children in the front seat of their craft to keep them safe and let them paddle so that they could experience their own as well. I was also impressed by their professional leadership and consideration at the same time. There was nothing more we could ask for. Thank you, Peg and Brittany!

Our guide Pam was very mellow and supportive. I truly enjoyed learning how to paddle board. The most memorable part was seeing a turtle when I fell off the board. Great day!!

We had the best time with Lowe paddle boarding for our first time ever! It was our honeymoon and second to last day in Maui. We did just about everything we could on the island and figured we should enjoy a special activity. Boy were we in for a treat!! We thought, how could our trip get any better? And it absolutely could- and it did!! Lowe was so knowledgeable of the island, gave great instructions, recommendations, and shared stories with us. She took great amazing photo shots of us on the water and in the water with turtles and fishes! Since it was our first time paddle boarding, I was a little nervous of how strenuous the activity could be, but it really was easy (with her excellent guidance) and so much fun! The area we got to explore was so scenic and the vibes were awesome. This was by far our favorite activity. We highly recommend 10/10

Peg is simply amazing’. Great instruction. Never thought I would be able to go from sitting to standing in the ocean!! I am 53 with a bad knee and had no intention. Of standing as did not think it was possible with my limited range of motion. Great time. Highly recommend!!
