This was an excellent excursion. Tim was friendly, educational and helpful for all the members of our party. He watched the little kids in the canoe when they didn't want to snorkel, so that the adults could still enjoy the beauty of the coral reef. The ecological approach and knowledge of Hawaiian culture and history was great as well. We... More

We were given the private kayak, snorkel, turtle adventure as a retirement and 65th birthday gift. It was an amazing mooring on the water. Our instructor Tim was both knowledgable and patient. His friendly demeanor put us at ease immediately. We were impressed with the information Tim shared about the islands and his respect for the ecological impact we have... More

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Hawaiian Paddle Sports does it right! We took 3 trips with them again this year and, just like last year, they met and far exceeded our expectations. I would recommend this tour company to ANYONE, of ALL AGES, and ALL ABILITIES. They will make you comfortable and happy. We even bought... More

My husband, and two children ages 11 and 9 booked a stand up paddling boarding tour/lesson with Hawaiian Paddle Sports. Our guide, Hollis, was waiting for us boards ready when we arrived. The equipment was excellent and all appropriately sized with a larger SUP for my husband and a child sized SUP for my 9 year old. After some quick... More

My mom and I wanted a private kayak tour, and this was the place to go to. We were fortunate enough to have 2 guides with us (1 in training) and what a treat that was. The kayaking was a great time, but the information the guides shared with us helped to have a better understanding of the island history,... More

Nearing the end of our recent trip to Maui, my husband and I decided to try and book an "organnized" tour. After reading through Trip Adivsor we opted to go with HPS based off the phenomenal reviews it got. The reviews are not wrong! We have been on the large boat snorkling tours and found them to be a dissapointment... More

On our recent vacation, my husband and I had the pleasure of doing both a stand up paddle board and an outrigger canoe lesson/adventure through Hawaiian Paddle Sports. I could go on and on as to how wonderful both of the activities and the guides were, but will try to keep it short and to the point. The personalized attention... More

My husband and I took a HPS whale watching kayak tour on April 10, at the tail end (no pun intended) of whale season. Despite that, we saw close to a dozen whales, including a baby an mama who swam alongside as we paddled at a safe distance. One single male swam towards us, came up about 25-30 yards in... More

My wife, 8-year-old daughter and I took a canoe tour with Tim on April 9, 2012. What was best about this experience is that Tim molded the tour to our interests and comfort zone. My daughter loves ocean animals and our goal was to experience and learn as much as we could. Since none of us had canoed like this... More
