At Pure Aloha Adventures, a woman-owned business, we pride ourselves on keeping tour groups small to provide you with a more intimate and personal experience. We want everyone to leave feeling like part of our Ohana, not just a guest on a tour! Join us on Dauphin Island or at the Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge on Little Lagoon in Gulf Shores, or at the Gulf State Park in Gulf Shores, Alabama, for a fun day of kayaking or stand-up paddle boarding! If you like kayaking in Alabama, you will LOVE paddle boarding. It’s just as easy and a lot more fun! Our expert guides will have you up and standing in no time!
It’s a great way to celebrate a birthday, bachelorette party, team building activity, or just a fun family event. We offer kayaking and stand up paddle boarding (SUP) lessons, tours, and rentals so you can experience one of the best things to do on while on your Gulf Coast vacation.
If you want to try something new check out our paddle board yoga or paddle board pilates classes!
Paddle boarding and kayaking are family friendly activities that everyone can enjoy, and we are conveniently located near Mobile on Dauphin Island or in Gulf Shores, near Orange Beach, Alabama and have 2 locations to serve you.
With so much water in southern Alabama we are also happy to travel to you! Give us a call if you’d like a personalized location or come enjoy some thing different at one of our beach locations.

RLV22024-06-28Verified Kayaking! Fort Morgan!! My daughters (in their 20s) and I thoroughly enjoyed our kayak tour of Little Lagoon in Fort Morgan AL. Our guides pointed out wildlife and answered any questions we had. It was a very laid back atmosphere. Would do it again. Kathleen N2024-06-15Verified Paddle boarding lesson with Family Highly recommend, Eva was amazing. I went with my 3 girls ages 15, 13, and 8. I dropped my phone in the water prior to our trip and Eva attempted to reach out to us to see if we wanted to reschedule for a day with less people becauseI had a younger kiddo. It was fine though she was able to keep up and Eva made sure she (and everyone) was comfortable. She did a great quickish lesson and then we learned while we paddled along the bay. It was beautiful and so peaceful. She took tons of pics and then took the time to take “fun” pictures. The girls did back bends and yoga poses all with the MOST beautiful backdrop. Dream5551672024-06-12Verified Awesome Experience and Ava was great… Ava and Natalie were absolutely awesome! Ava made sure that everyone was doing well on the paddle boards as well as keeping an eye on the younger kids. She was also great with my dad who’s 66 years old and not the best with balance. She showed him how to sit on the board and still enjoy the beautiful surroundings with our family and other paddle boarders. I HIGHLY recommend Pure Aloha Adventures Alabama!!! elizabethknoff2024-06-07Verified A fun little kayaking adventure Great little kayaking adventure. Our guide was very knowledgeable and pointed out lots of local wildlife on our trip. The location is excellent and there weren’t speed boats to jostle us around. Laurie M2024-03-12Verified It was wonderful!! We (Grandma and 3 Grandkids) just did a kayak tour with Ava! It was wonderful!!! They provided equipment and guided us around the Bon Secour Wildlife refuge. Kids saw lots of wildlife and guide took lots of pictures for us!!! Thank you Ava and Natalie!!! We had a GREAT time, and might come back and rent kayaks on our own! Wisconsinbuffalogirl2023-12-05Verified Best paddle board experience ever Eva was an excellent, friendly guide. Equipment and instructions was top notch. The location was perfect; beautiful and tranquil. I will definitely book again when I return. Thank you for an awesome experience! BeachDaddy2023-09-15Verified SUP with Ava is a must! Great adventure. Ava was an awesome instructor, patient and relaxed. We went on the 1.5 hour tour and lesson. We had part of the group that were avid SUP folks and some newbies. All had a great time. Highly recommend this activity. All of our group were ages 23 to 60. I chose to take a kayak rather than SUP...Ava was very accommodating. Things to note...sunscreen...for sure. Also, the flies were biting that day as it was pretty calm. Bug spray is a must...but may consider some covering if you are really susceptible. If you are going to try paddleboarding....this is the place. Grace P2023-08-29Verified So worth it!!!!! We booked for my sister's bachelorette weekend and everyone had an absolute blast! Our group was a mix of skill level and still everyone had a great time during the session. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. They even coordinated taking pictures for us during and after the session! We will forever remember this experience together! Kayleigh C2023-08-25Verified Great experience Our instructor was SUPER patient and really good at explaining how to get on the board and how to safely stand up without falling. For first time paddle boarders we had a great experience and we feel confident enough to go again! This was an awesome ending to our vacation!<3 Susanna W2023-08-10Verified Paddleboard in the Secour Wildlife Refuge We had a great time paddle boarding with Eva on the guided tour. This is the only company that is licensed to be in the Bon Secour Wildlife Refuge. What an enjoyable morning!
