Aloha Paddle MV — Local services in Aquinnah

Every interaction with Aloha Paddle MV was easy, relaxed and the island way. We rented SUPs (for my husband and I) and also did a separate 2 hour tour with our two young kids (7&9) with Adrian and Nicole this week We contacted them (mainly via text which was super simple and preferred) and took care of all arrangements easily (where to find our boards, where to meet, links for payment, weather conditions, etc) with Nicole. They were flexible, easy to communicate with and prices were reasonable. They requested to shift our tour day due to high winds as they were concerned about our kids having a good experience and, for that, I’m very thankful. Adrian made sure that our experience with our two kids was peaceful, relaxed and easy and he was a great (and patient) teacher. They also took pictures to capture the moment! I’m happy to have found them to make more wonderful island memories. Thank you Aloha MV for a fabulous time on the water and in the beauty of...

This experience with Nicole has been absolutely atrocious and frankly, embarrassing. Their website states online that there is an one hour rise and shine paddle board yoga for 35 (inclusive of equipment). We agreed to start at 10am. When I asked for more details about this offering, Nicole, said that this was only offered two days a week at 7am and it was all full - only private classes are available at $65 per person. This was a complete surprise to me as this was not advertised anywhere. When I questioned whether this price was negotiable, she said this was the going rate, then proceeded to not reply to me after I responded that the rate (expensive for what it was) was fine. A couple of hours later she responded that she thought I was not interested and booked a different person at the same time I agreed with her already. This paddle organization is a scam and Nicole is extremely unprofessional. Avoid this place if you value transparency, as none of that was...

If you're not interested in learning how to Paddleboard from a great guy with thorough knowledge of the sport then don't sign up with Aloha Paddle and Adrian. He was fantastic and explains everything in a nice easy manner. My kids kept telling this 61 yo guy that I didn't need a lesson and thankfully I paid them no heed. Adrian is an excellent teacher. Don't be a nitwit and go out on your own, fall off the board and flail around for a half hour. Go with Adrian where you will still eventually fall into the water, but with his instructions you'll be back up very quickly. By the way the setting was beautiful and falling in the water was actually great, cool and refreshing on a hot morning. I assure you that you will enjoy...
