About Aloha Paddle MV

Aloha Paddle MV in Aquinnah, MA, offers stand-up paddleboard rentals and guided tours designed for enjoying the Vineyard's waterways. Customers consistently praise the staff for their patience, excellent instruction, and flexible, easy communication, often highlighting the relaxed, personalized island experience. This outfitter is ideal for families and beginners seeking patient guidance in beautiful, carefully selected locations away from the crowds.

The Good

Customers overwhelmingly praised the instructors, specifically Adrian and Nicole (and AJ), describing them as patient, excellent teachers, knowledgeable, and delightful company. Communication via text was noted as simple and effective. The company is commended for being flexible, prioritizing customer experience (e.g., rescheduling due to high winds), and choosing beautiful, less crowded locations based on wind and tide conditions. Many highlighted the experience as great for all ages and skill levels, offering a relaxing and memorable way to enjoy the water.

Things to Consider

One review detailed a highly negative experience regarding pricing transparency and communication. The customer alleged that advertised yoga class pricing was unavailable, being forced into a more expensive private lesson, and then experiencing unprofessional communication when questioning the rate, leading to the slot being booked by someone else. This specific incident was described as atrocious and unprofessional.
