This was an incredible experience for our kids, ages 12 and 10. - This was an incredible experience for our kids, ages 12 and 10. Keoki was an absolutely amazing instructor--warm, welcoming, patient, kind and great with our kids! I asked him if he had been doing this a long time, and his response was, "We invented surfing, so yes..." He is a descendant of the inventors of surfing so it is a truly beautiful and unique experience compared to other companies. My kids were able to both get up on the board the first time due to his teachings. It was well worth every penny and we would do it again in a heartbeat! It has made memories for a lifetime. Maholo Kekoi!

Wonderful Experience - Keoki was such a great instructor - he was super attentive, encouraging, and really knew how to get you on the board quickly. His local knowledge and fun personality were a huge bonus. I got to ride many waves since the beginning, and felt very comfortable the whole time. He told me I was going to do great, and it happened! Mahalo!

Chill and Easy Surf Experience - Keoki taught a great class that was truly accessible by people of all levels. All of us stood and caught waves and Keoki was a pleasure to be taught by and to hang out with. This is a great opportunity for a whole family to enjoy surf lessons, as the waves are super mild. It's mostly about learning how to balance and stand up. Highly recommend, always support Hawaiian owned businesses first! 🤙🏽🌈

An incredible experience for the whole family! We love surfing and Hawaii!! - Aloha Ocean Adventures taught my entire family how to surf, and we had an incredible experience. My husband and I took a trip to Maui as a celebration for a milestone birthday and learned to surf with Keoki in May of 2024. We thought it was such an incredible experience that we brought our kids (7 and 5) back in September of 2025, and they also learned with Keoki. The waves at this location are small and gentle, making them incredibly perfect for learning to surf. We absolutely loved our conversations and the way we were taught. Keoki made things so simple. "It's not stressful, it's surfing, just stand up," which shockingly was the outcome for our entire family. Everyone listened to what Keoki said and stood on their very first wave, and surfed safely for the whole lesson. My daughter (5) was afraid to get on a surfboard, but Keoki rode on the back of her board holding her hand while she surfed until she was ready to stand and surf a wave on her own... which she did! She just turned 5, I couldn't believe it! We all loved the stories about Maui and the culture of Hawaii that Keoki shared with us while we were waiting for the right waves to come in. It was a fantastic start to our trip, which helped our whole family appreciate the beauty of the island and the people who call it home. We believe our entire family will be lifelong surfers, and it's a truly wonderful gift. Thank you to Keoki and the whole Aloha Ocean Adventures team.

Keoki is the man! - Had an awesome time surfing with Keoki! Great guy, super chill, and made learning fun and easy. Feels like one of my new island friends already. Everyone knows Keoki—total legend. If you want to catch waves and good vibes, he’s the one to call!
