Adventure Tips
Arrive Early to Warm Up
Getting to the beach 15–20 minutes early helps warm muscles and get familiar with the surroundings before lessons start.
Use Reef-Safe Sunscreen
Protect skin while minimizing impact on Maui’s marine ecosystem by applying reef-friendly sunscreen before hitting the water.
Stay Hydrated
Maui’s tropical sun can be intense; bring water to stay hydrated during and after your lesson.
Wear Water Shoes for Rocky Areas
Some shorelines near Makawao can have sharp lava rocks—water shoes help protect your feet on and off the sand.
