I am definitely not a water sports person and my husband and I were travelling with my retired parents who are also not. However we took our kayak trip with Chris who was very helpful. After 2 mins of thinking there is no way I can do this I got the hang of it and truely enjoyed myself. We were... More

We spent the morning with Ari on the outrigger canoe trip, a great experience for the whole family. Ari was a pro, a local who taught us a lot about the islands' history, traditions, and the sea. She was patient with the kids, took great pictures (fish, turtles, us!), and let us have fun. Tim runs a great company and... More

My wife Abbey and I booked a private kayak trip with Hawaiian Paddle Sports on May 9th 2013. When we first arrived at Olowalu we met with John who was a fantastic guide for our trip. Also, arriving at the same time was a larger group kayak tour. The contrast between our experiences couldn't have been more different. John took... More

My fiancé, Kai, and I recently visited Maui and had the pleasure of doing the private surf lesson as well as the kayak tour with Hawaiian Paddle Sports. I cannot begin to express how pleased I was with Tim and his staff. Too often when you visit a new place and do an adventure like this you find yourself part... More

My wife received a kayak/ snorkelling trip as a 60th Birthday gift from our kids. What a fantastic experience it was with Patrick. Previously, our snorkelling on Maui has been with large groups where we felt rushed and saw limited marine life. This experience was so much different in that Patrick personalized our trip, stressing that it was our adventure.... More

This is the second time I paddled around Molokini with HPS- it is such a great experience! Not only do you have the opportunity to see all the cool sea creatures that live around Molokini, but also on your way there. Tim and Ariana are great guides and very knowledgeable about the ocean and Maui and Hawaiian culture. My favorite... More

Two weeks ago, we took an amazing trip with Patrick at Hawaiian Paddle Sports. After he spotted a whale, we kayaked out to where we thought he was and sure enough, we could hear them singing and they swam right under us! Patrick was very knowledgeable and took pity on me when I was getting overheated. He didn't make me... More

We just got back from an amazing week long trip to Maui and the highlight of our trip had to be our private Kayak/snorkel trip with our guide Chris. We were fortunate enough to listen to a whale sing (and swim right under our kayaks WOW!!!). We learned so much about Maui and the surrounding islands and had an amazing... More

I live on Maui, but went out on my second canoe paddling trip to Molokini with HPS. Tim began the morning with teaching us about the culture. He even opened the day with an oli, which provided us safety on our adventure. Paddling to Molokini was not only therapeutic, but extremely informing. I learned so much about Haleakala, the channel,... More

Just got back from a fabulous week in Maui and one of the highlights for sure was our privately guided outrigger canoe whale watching trip with Hawaiian Paddle Sports. Ari and Matt were excellent guides - very knowledgeable, friendly and professional. Our group was fortunate enough to get an up close and personal visit from a mama whale and her... More
