Sky is the best!! - Sky was the best ever! He was patient and extremely nice, knowledgeable about the island and paddling. I don’t think we would have had half as much fun with any other guide.
He also gave us great advice for our vacation and the pics are amazing!!!
Worth every cent and more

Amazing! - We had an amazing time! We came as a family of 4. This was our first time paddle boarding and we were so grateful to have Sky as our guide! He was awesome, patient and fun. He also had a lot of knowledge of the island. Beautiful area and we got to see turtles! Highly recommend this experience. (If you get motion sick easily maybe take a small dose of Dramamine). We had a memorable time. Big thanks to Sky!

Great experience - We had such a wonderful time on this tour. My wife had been stand up paddleboarding once before, but I had never tried it. Our guide Sky was an excellent teacher, and the epitome of the spirit of Hawaii. Sky gave us a lot of information about the coastal landscape, and helped us spot visiting sea turtles. And he was so patient and encouraging with me even though I kept falling in when I tried to stand up! We really enjoyed hanging out on the water with him, and are looking forward to doing the tour again next time we go to Maui!

Epic morning on the ocean! - We loved that this was a private tour and we had our guide all to ourselves. Sky was super relaxed and encouraging. We were all beginners and he was very patient. He took amazing photos and showed us a great time. The pictures with the turtles were the icing on the cake. We will definitely go again next time we are in Maui and will recommend to all our friends. We really appreciated the recommendation for breakfast too! Thanks Sky!

We had a great time - First time paddle boarding on our trip to Maui was epic. So many memories with my wife and our 7 year old daughter.
Sky was an amazing guide. He taught us so much about the sport the wild life and the area in general. Highly recommend. He was also great watching over our daughter while we got the hang of things.
We saw some turtles and really cool coral and fish. On top of that, he will take photos of the entire day and send them afterwards. This one is worth every penny.
