Great time on the water. It was nice to get out on the water, have a couple of beers, and snorkle with 30 plus sea turtles in spots where most people do not go. Ryan was great on being flexible on the trip, providing information on local activities ( both on and off the water) and made the time on... More

This is the best way to experience Maui!! Not only do you get to wake-board and wake-surf, but a private snorkeling tour as well!! Best service, one step ahead of you at all times! This made my entire week stay on Maui!! More

It was my first time trying wake boarding, so I was a little nervous. I had nothing to be worried about. It was not as difficult as I thought it would be (he has a short rope for us beginners that was easier to get up with). My family also tried wake surfing for the first time, and liked that... More

My husbanqd and I took our 5 boys on a private wake tour with Ryan. He was very patient with all of us and made corrections to make sure everyone could get up and wake board. My husband skied, and my boys all wake surfed and body boarded. We had time after to snorkle with the turtles. It was an... More

Two days before I left, my 9 yr old son and I were paddle-boarding. We paddled by a guy who was ferrying two other people out to his ski/wake-board boat. It was totally fortuitous that that happened: I asked him if he takes people out to ski/wake. Of course, his answer was yes. So, that started my mental count to... More

If you want a private experience with family or friends Wake Maui is the way to go! Per person it is a similar cost to any of the boat tours but you have your own boat! We did a 4 hour tour and had so much fun that we decided to do it again! Unlike other boats you can wakeboard,... More

He even had diffrent types of equipment to help different people types get up on the water. Took a few tries, but every one of us (old... More

Captain Ryan was great! We had the trip and boat all to ourselves...just me and my husband. I was hesitant at first to try wake boarding because it looked so hard, but after a few tries, it got easier. It also helps to listen to Captain Ryan's instructions. If you follow what he tells you to do, you should have... More

The guy knows his stuff and is the ONLY provider of wake boarding in Maui and he still charges very reasonable rates , if... More

Wake Maui is the best activity in Maui!!!! In April 2011, we did our fourth trip to Maui. Our 15 year daughter loves to Wake Board and found Wake Maui online. We check out Capt. Ryan and his reputation was excellent. Our wakeboard, snorkeling and whale watching adventure with Capt. Ryan was the absolute highlight of our trip, which included... More
