    DO IT!!!

    OMG this was one of the BEST activities I have ever done! My daughter and I were first time paddle boarders. Our instructor Bryan was AWESOME. He was patient, helpful and full of great stories! He also helped us feel very safe and let us try things at our own comfort level. While we were out we saw turtles and spinner dolphins! One of the other team there came out and took a bunch of pictures of use out on the water. They were great and we bought them all! Such an epic adventure - we are already planning our next experience with Bryan and Surf Club Maui!

    Great experience for our first time

    Turtle was a great instructor. Our semi-private lesson ended up being our family of 3 and he helped each of us individually and checked in with us regularly. None of us had ever done this before and it was a good experience.

    Fun

    We switched to surfing instead of SUP, I am glad we did, David was awesome and we all had a really great time learning to surf. Great spot for beginners, would definitely do this again.

    Amazing Experience

    Incredible!! Lucas was an amazing teacher, so patient and kind with both me and the other paddle boarder. He was professional and ensured we had a once in a lifetime experience. I will definitely be back for surfing lessons with this company soon. Highly recommend!!

    Highly recommended for beginners or advanced SUPers

    If you're looking for an ocean adventure with mild to medium exertion, look no further than a SUP class with Surf Club Maui! I've SUP'd before in freshwater lakes, but never the ocean, so I opted for a class to learn to watch the wave conditions and know the local unwritten rules (e.g. don't paddle in the locals-only area). Kimmy was a phenomenal instructor - lots of direct instruction paired with fun humor and honu (Hawaiian green sea turtle) knowledge. Our group of four (three students and Kimmy the instructor) paddled out to the reef, looked for turtles, and got a great view of the West Maui mountains and Haleakala on the glittering Pacific Ocean. They provide rashguards and booties; bring your sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, and get ready to stand up (or sit down) and enjoy a morning of paddling on the ocean! Photos are available for purchase so leave your phone. Lots of restaurants or coffee shops across the street for breakfast. The Saturday market is walking distance away and provides fresh produce and coconuts. What are you waiting for?

    Semi Private Stand Up Paddle Boarding (SUP) Class at Kalama Beach in Kihei: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Maui.

    How much does Semi Private Stand Up Paddle Boarding (SUP) Class at Kalama Beach in Kihei cost?

    +

    Prices start at $140 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Maui usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Semi Private Stand Up Paddle Boarding (SUP) Class at Kalama Beach in Kihei take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Maui is not rushed.

    Is Semi Private Stand Up Paddle Boarding (SUP) Class at Kalama Beach in Kihei worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 16 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Maui, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Semi Private Stand Up Paddle Boarding (SUP) Class at Kalama Beach in Kihei?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Semi Private Stand Up Paddle Boarding (SUP) Class at Kalama Beach in Kihei suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Semi Private Stand Up Paddle Boarding (SUP) Class at Kalama Beach in Kihei?

    +

    Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Maui can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Maui and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Semi Private Stand Up Paddle Boarding (SUP) Class at Kalama Beach in Kihei start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Maui within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Maui?

    +

    Maui's three signature days are the Hana road, the Haleakala summit sunrise and the Molokini snorkel sail, and all three are logistics problems as much as experiences. Sunrise summit entry is permit-controlled, Hana is a ten-hour driving day, and Molokini boats vary wildly in size. Our ranking rewards operators who handle permits and keep boat capacity low. On Outty we rank every Maui experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Molokini Crater + South Maui Coast Adventure from Kihei, Maui, Maui: VIP Private Road to Hana Tour with Pick Up, Road to Hana Adventure Maui Tour with Lunch. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Maui?

    +

    April to May and September to October. Whale season runs December to April. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Maui?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
