Hawaiian Ocean Sports: Surf & Sea Adventures in Wailea-Makena

Wailea-Makena, on Maui's sun-drenched southern coast, commands a prime spot in Hawaii’s outdoor scene. With its mix of golden beaches, clear turquoise water, and dramatic lava rock coastline, this area offers a dynamic playground for ocean adventurers. Hawaiian Ocean Sports has established itself as a hub for those seeking to engage directly with the Pacific—from first-time wave riders to seasoned paddlers aiming to glimpse humpbacks offshore.

The company’s offerings center on hands-on water experiences that bring real Hawaiian culture and natural beauty to the forefront. Group and private surf lessons at Kalama and Ukumehame Beaches provide a grounded approach to learning the art of wave riding in some of the island’s most respected surf zones. For those eager to explore the water from a different angle, kayak and stand-up paddleboard (SUP) rentals deliver freedom to navigate hidden coves or turtle-rich bays at a comfortable pace.

Hawaiian Ocean Sports stands out for its Hawaiian outrigger canoe tours, blending cultural education with wildlife encounters. Turtle and whale watching tours portrayed from traditional canoes give visitors an intimate look at native marine life while deepening appreciation of island heritage. The snorkeling tours add another layer, with gear and bodyboards available to round out the day.

This isn’t just a rental company—it’s a gateway to the ocean’s rhythms, local ecosystems, and community-rooted respect for the sea. Beyond activity variety, their tiered GOLD, BLACK, and PLATINUM membership cards offer beach essentials like Tommy Bahama chairs and umbrellas, enhancing the shore experience.

For outdoor lovers drawn to Hawaii’s blend of thrilling ocean action and cultural storytelling, Hawaiian Ocean Sports offers a comprehensive, authentic adventure set in one of Maui’s most celebrated coastal environments.
