We took a paddle boarding lesson-something we have never done before. Ava took the time to explain how to manage the board, how to balance, stand, and remain steady. We learned proper technique for paddling and turning, so even us beginners were in good form. It was lots of fun, and I’m sure we could do it again on our own. She made it all so simple.

We had a great experience kayaking. Eva was great to work with, very attentive and gave great instructions and guidance to give us the best chance to see crabs and stingrays, which we did! Value was excellent too. We will definitely use Pure Aloha again our next time in Gulf Shores!

Paddle board yoga was so much fun! What a fun, challenging, and beautiful way to start the day out on the water. Eva is a knowledgeable and attentive instructor so I felt like I was in good hands for the adventure. 10/10 will definitely try again and recommend to anyone looking for a group activity.
