I'm an athletic guy in his 20's. I took the 3-day course, and it was one of the best parts of my vacation. By the 2nd day I was riding the wind and ocean, and it is quite an experience. This is like kite flying for adults. If you want an adrenaline rush I would recommend trying kite surfing.

Overall this could have been a much better experience if the activity was either longer or less expensive. Bascially we were out for under 2 hours. I did not feel that I got my money's worth. We paddled out to the channel then back in to snorkle and then came in. Sure the sights were great and our guide was wonderful, but for the price, this should have been 4 hour excursion. The location was really out of the way, but the area was excellant. We saw whales, turtles and lots of fish.

We had fun and enjoyed learning to surf, however we were taken to a very shallow part of the ocean where the floor was covered with sharp rocks. My husband and I were both injured and ended up leaving 50 minutes early from our lesson. The wind was pretty bad that day which obviously is uncontrollable, but there very few waves and lots of other surf lesson students so there was very little opportunity to attempt what we had learned. I do not feel the value of the lesson was enough to warrant how much we paid. But, again, we did have a good time and perhaps on a less windy and cold day it wouldn't have been so bad.

We had a wonderful time with South Pacific Kayak and Kelly - spent the morning enjoying the kayaks and snorkeling. Kelly was able to direct us to some awesome spots and plenty of turtles and fish to enjoy! Would definitely recommend the long trip to everyone!

We had a superb kayak experience, first-time, and got to see some big fish (whales). Are they any good eating? I kid, I kid! If we ever make our way back to the beautiful islands we'd do this again in a heartbeat! Thanks for such an amazing day!

Great great job to our tour guide kaleo!!! This was by far one of the best things we did on Maui! We saw whales from the kayak and we snorkeled with turtles and fish and a took a ton of pics with my underwater camera (disposable) so I gotta get those developed soon. I hope they come out good!!!

Being from Kansas, my family and I don't exactly get too many opportunities to go kayaking in the ocean, so when my son asked if we could do the kayaking and whale watching, I was little scared but now I am so glad that I did it! This was such a great tour from the moment we met our guide up until we came back to shore. Seeing whales while in our kayaks was completely breathtaking and the professionalism displayed by the guides was top notch. Keep it up folks!

My first time in Hawaii and my husband and myself went on the kayak whale tour and I was nervous at first but the guide was so nice and he took very good care of us. Being in the open water and seeing the whales from a distance was very wonderful and I hope I can do this again soon. The kayaking was not very hard and I learned quickly thank to my guide and teacher.

Surf lessons with the Maui Beach Boys were GREAT! They were so fun, laid back, goofy, relaxed, knowledgable, helpful, funny... you name it! I am EXTREMELY un-coordinated but love water so surfing looks fun for me but is something that is kind of unthinkable...the paitence and one on one instruction that we got durring out lesson was do helpful! The other instructors in the water even chiped in and helped push us off and give tips too! and when we were waiting for the waves to come in the conversation was very fun and smiles were a constant! This was a GREAT way to start our vacation!!! I will deffinatley do this again!!!

We had a great time parasailing! The ride was a decent amount of time and the end was great (we were dipped/dragged through the water for 30 secs). UFO was friendly, fun, and professional. Two thumbs up!

The snorkeling experience was breath taking,literally!! I hadn't snorkeled in years and had a hard time not breathing through my nose. The team worked with me to get be back in the water and snorkel. The team was very friendly and connected with everyone in a personal level. The boat was smooth ride, which surprisingly didn't get my husband sea sick. We had a great time snorkeling Molokini crater and searching for sea turltles along the shore. We weren't able to snorkel turtle town due to the murky waters, however, snorkeling the back of Molokini crater was also a unique experience. We would definitely take this snorkeling tour again and recommend it to anyone!!!

My girlfriend and I used Aqua Adventure on the 14th of August and it was great. The crew was easy to get along with and they were very helpful with the snuba part of the adventure. I would recommend them to anybody who wants more of a one on one experience they had a small group so it was a lot easier moving around on the boat. The only thing is they need to seperate the twosomes more on the tie line during the snuba dive so they don't run it to each other or get tangled. I was worried about the underwater breathing but it was very easy to do. Hope you give them a shot they are well worth it.

My wife was having difficulty adjusting to breathing with the regulator and was on the verge of a full blown panic attack. I had actually thought she was heading back to the boat but the next thing I knew, she was swimming right beside me. The diver/guide had removed her weight belt to let her get used to breathing underwater and then put it back on. She absolutely did not give up on my wife and had her underwater in no time. It would have been real easy to just let her go back to the boat, but she just wouldn't take no for an answer and we are glad she didn't. The dive was the one of the highlights of our trip!!! Many thanks to the staff!!!

This was definitely a highlight of our trip to Maui. We had a group of five for this trip, ranging in age from 8 to 73 and everyone had a blast. It was something completely new and unique for us and the memories of my son's face and he was swimming with the turtles and fish will always be with me. It was priceless and I would highly recommend it. The staff were great and gave me complete confidence that they would take care of my son as they encouraged him with the Snuba-ing. They were very patient and explained everything with a sense of humour and made the day completely memorable for us all. Thank you!

My husband and I went snuba diving on the Aqua Adventure and loved it. The boat was smaller then some and held less people, which gave the passangers more individual attention from the crew. We had both a breakfast and lunch buffet aboard ship.The instructors were friendly and knowledgeable. Well worth the money. Reccomended for all.

We took some beach lesson before going into the water, and where they took us had perfect small & consistent waves, We each caught two or three waves! We are now hooked. We are coming back to Maui next year for sure. Thanks!

The ocean was beautiful and the environment was very nice, but I felt that it was tough since almost no one in Maui speaks Japanese, so you need to have at least a basic level of English for everyday conversations.
