This was our 4th experience with Captain Ryan and he always exceeds our expectations!! We had 3 generations on our family trip - ages 70 down to 4 - and Captain Ryan accommodated all of us!! Seeing the whales - and dolphins too - was amazing!! We even snorkeled with sea turtles and some of us Wake Surfed and Belly Borded - such fun!!! Captain Ryan is so patient and cares about everyone. We will definitely choose Wake Maui when we return to Maui!
Thank you so much, Ryan!!! We have so many treasured memories with our family & Wake Maui!

This was such a great experience. It started with a pod of spinner dolphins up close and then we learned how to wake surf, went snorkeling and tubing and had a great time on the boat. Jack was an excellent teacher and tour guide and we really enjoyed our trip. Highly recommend it and will definitely do it again next time.

We had such a great time with Ryan wake surfing and tubing that we booked a second three hour session! We had previously tried wake surfing with another company with no success, but Ryan is an absolutely excellent instructor with significant patience. The whole family (11 and 13 year old kids) was able to wake surf within two tries. We were even lucky enough to see a pod of dolphins on both days . This is a must do if you are visiting Maui.

Had an absolute blast! Ryan is a great captain and instructor, we had both experienced surfers and first timers and Ryan got everyone up and surfing! Highly recommend, we’ll definitely be back out on the water with Wake Maui.

I enjoyed having the opportunity to have a private boat with my friends and customize a trip that we wanted. Wake Surfing, Whale Watching and Snorkeling! What a day! Ryan was such a great captain and instructor. He helped the beginners feel confident while trying something new. Really a great guy with excellent energy and years of experiences working on the water here on Maui.

I took my daughter’s family of 4(kids are 9 and 11) on a private charter(4 hrs) with my wife(we are 68,69). We did whale watching for about 90 minutes(saw plenty of whales!) and then we did wake surfing for another 90 minutes or more. Captain Ryan is great. Five of us did the wake surfing and Ryan was very patient in helping all of us. We ended our time snorkeling and it was a great way to end the 4 hrs. Priceless!

This is a must do when in Maui!! We booked at the last minute and luckily the weather/water cooperated in the afternoon. But don't push your luck, book early so you get a morning booking because the weather/water is much more reliable then and you don't want to miss this activity!! Captain is so knowledgeable and helpful!! Wake surfing on the ocean, wow!!

We booked a two-hour wake surfing charter. Weather conditions were perfect, and Captain Ryan is a great driver. He brought many different boards for us to use and taught us how to do a 360. He knows a lot about the island and is super fun to spend a day with on the water. You should definitely book a charter with him!

Got picked up on the beach in front of Whaler's Village....very convenient. Quick ride to Lanai for great snorkeling with turtles and our captain pointed out an octopus. More snorkeling in Kaanapali and wake surfing. Best day of the entire trip. Four hours went to quick...will charter 6 hours next time.

We had an awesome afternoon with Wake Maui last week. Jack was our captain and he was wonderful. We spent hours wake surfing and tubing and my children haven’t stopped talking about it. It was the highlight of our Hawaii trip! Jack was patient, informative and a great guide for the day. I would highly recommend Wake Maui for a fantastic water adventure!!
