Stand-up paddling is the perfect start to a day in Maui.
If you would prefer to take part in a guided tour,
Paddle On

)
offers early morning tours out of Polo Beach in front of the Fair-
mont Kea Lani. These tours have a flexible itinerary. The main focus is simply on being
out on the water and communing with the tranquil calm of morning. Inquire about medit-
ative sunrise tours.
The only place in Makena for stand-up paddleboard rentals and lessons is at the beach
activities stand in front of the
Makena Beach and Golf Resort
(5400 Makena Alanui,
808/874-1111,

)
steps from the sand of Maluaka Beach.
Lessons are available from $60/hr, or you can rent a board and go on your own for $40/hr.
Advance reservations are required for a lesson. During summer it takes the wind longer to
reach here than at areas such as Kihei, which means that your window for paddling lasts
an hour or two longer.
