It was my first time doing SUP, but they taught me very carefully how to hold the board and paddle. They praised me a lot and encouraged me. Once I was able to do a little, they taught me the next thing, so I was able to improve without feeling pressured. It's a shame that the videos and photos are $50 per person, as I would have purchased just the photos if they had sold them separately.
初めてのSUPでしたが、ボードやパドルの持ち方からとても丁寧に教えてくれました。
いっぱい褒めてのばしてくれます。少し出来るようになるとつぎの事を教えてくれるので無理なく上達できます。
動画と写真は1人50ドルで高いので、写真だけでも販売してくれたら購入出来たのに残念です。

Vibe was great, music was awesome. They had live music on our trip to the location and played music while we played in the water. It was the best activity we booked on our trip. We enjoyed paddle boarding the best. But just hanging out in the middle of the ocean was so much fun. Would definitely recommend. I didn't book the extra activities and still had a great time. Don't forget to bring your reef safe sunscreen. The crew was great and very helpful.

My family enjoyed this tour. All staff are very nice and helpful. Elvin helped my 8-year old son in kayaking. The gentleman at snorkeling helped me when I couldn’t swim back to the boat. The bus driver was very nice too. Oh the staffs on the boat are all friendly. Thank you all for the wonderful experience.

Parking was easy if you got there early enough. The lunch was offered as we got on the boat, so if you miss breakfast you won't have to wait long to eat. We got to try the paddle board and chill in the middle lounge area. The tide was pretty high and the current was pushing, but we still had a great time.

I book this for me and 3 other people. We absolutely loved everything! The boat ride was really comfortable and they did their best to keep parties separated for COVID safety. We added the banana boat to our day and it was a little scary but so fun! I was having a tough time getting on the board but the staff was super helpful and reassured all of us. I wish we got to ride the boat more than once or later in the day, but it was still fun.
Overall, the trip was great and the staff provided so much to do!

I took a private SUP lesson at Waikiki Beach. First, I received some basic instruction on the sand and then headed straight to the ocean. When the waves came and I fell, I was taught how to get back on the board and tried again. As I repeated this and got used to it, I was enveloped in the luxury of paddling while looking at Diamond Head. My instructor, Mike, pointed and exclaimed, "Turtle!" and right there was a honu (sea turtle) coming up to the surface for air, which was so moving. As a 62-year-old with no particular athletic experience, I thoroughly enjoyed a happy hour filled with a pleasant sense of fatigue. Thank you very much.
ワイキキビーチでSUPのプライベートレッスンを受けました。まずは砂浜の上で簡単な指導を受けすぐに海へ。波が来て落ちるとボードへの上り方を教えてもらい再度トライ、それを繰り返して慣れてきたとき、ダイアモンドヘッドを眺めながらSUPしている贅沢感に包まれました。インストラクターのマイクさんが「カメ!」と指さしたすぐそこにはホヌ(海亀)が息継ぎに水面に上がってきていて感動。特に運動経験のない62歳の私ですが、心地よい疲労感とともに十二分に楽しめた幸せな1時間でした。ありがとうございました。

I participated alone, but I was able to enjoy myself thoroughly. I did SUP, kayaking, and snorkeling, all of which were included in the price during the time spent at the sandbar, so I could fully enjoy those activities without any worries. There was a stage on the boat with musicians, and I was able to enjoy everything from pop folk to Hawaiian music during the round trip to and from the sandbar. When I participated, there were only three Japanese people, but they provided explanations in Japanese, and I felt their hospitality. I wanted to swim with sea turtles and dolphins, so I signed up for an optional tour for that. Although I didn't go diving, I was able to fully enjoy the ocean. It's best to check the tide levels and aim for times when the tide is as low as possible. When I participated, the tide was about knee-high, but the beauty of the sandbar was captivating.
一人での参加だったが十分楽しむことができた。私はSUPとカヤックとシュノーケルをしたが、全てサンドバーにいる時間内で料金に含まれているので、そういったことも気にせず満喫できた。船内にはステージがあってミュージシャンもいて、ポップスフォークからハワイアンミュージックまでサンドバーまでの行き帰りの時間もめいいっぱい楽しむことができた。私が参加した時は日本人が3人しかいなかったが、日本語で説明をしてくれたり、おもてなしの心を感じた。海亀やイルカと遊泳をしたかったので、それについては別途オプショナルツアーを申し込み、ダイビングこそしなかったものの、十分に海を満喫することができた。参加日時は潮位を確認し出来るだけ潮位が低い時を狙うべき。私の参加時は膝上くらいの潮位だったが、サンドバーの綺麗さには見入るものがあった。

Family of six had a great time! Check in process was super easy as we filled out the waivers online. Once on the boat and at your table lunch is served. We ate while on the short boat ride to the sandbar and enjoyed live music. Every staff member on the blast was super friendly and made the experience that much more enjoyable. I highly recommend this experience as it’s fun for the entire family. You can relax in the water play volleyball, kayak, paddle board, or hangout on the platform.

The activities were plentiful, and we had plenty of time to enjoy ourselves!
On the boat, there were few people wearing masks. The boat was quite full of people.
The toilets were not the flushing type; instead, you had to put toilet paper in a trash can. Since we were on the sea, it might be unavoidable, but as a Japanese person, I was concerned about hygiene.
I thought it would be better if there were trash cans with lids.
Overall, the music was pleasant, the crew members were kind, and my elderly father also enjoyed it, so I think it was a good experience.
アクティビティが充実しており、時間もたっぷりありましたので楽しむ事ができました!
船の上ではマスクをしてる人は少数。割と船いっぱいに人がいました。
トイレは流すタイプではなく、トイレットペーパーをゴミ箱に入れるタイプ。海の上なので仕方ないのかもしれませんが、日本人としては、衛生面が気になりました。
蓋のあるゴミ箱とかならまだいいかなと思いました。
全体的には音楽も心地よく、乗務員の方も親切で高齢の父親も楽しんでいましたし、行って良かったと思います。

Also the two musicians were amazing, with lovely Hawaiian songs. As for the activities, it was easy to get up and down the stairs to the water, and the sandbar and coral were right there. Lots of other activities easily available, but we were there for the snorkeling. A lovely day! Thank you!

I signed up for Kailua without knowing that it can be quite windy. According to the guide, if we had been off by even a day, we wouldn't have been able to do SUP... Indeed, there was some wind on the day, but it was pleasant. I struggled a bit with being pushed back by the waves and figuring out the paddling technique, but I enjoyed the view from the island floating in the middle of the ocean and learned a lot... It was a pity that we couldn't see any sea turtles.
Life jackets seem to be essential for kayaking, but they are optional for SUP. Sunglasses would be handy, but even the guide mentioned losing them, so it's better to have a strap. They provide waterproof bags, and the guide will take photos, so you can go hands-free.
カイルアは風が強いところと知らずに申し込みました。ガイドさんによると、もし1日でもずれていたら、SUPはできなかった、と。。。確かに、当日も風はありましたが、心地よい程度でした。波に押し返されたり漕ぎ方のコツがつかめず、ちょっと苦労しましたが、海の真ん中に浮かんだ島に行って、そこからの景色を楽しんだり、学んだり。。。ウミガメが見られなかったことが残念でした。
ライフジャケットはカヤックでは必須のようですが、SUPは任意です。サングラスはあれば便利と思いますが、ガイドさんですら無くすそうなので、紐付きが良いです。耐水の鞄を貸してくれますが、写真はガイドさんが撮ってくれますので手ぶらでOKです。
Dear Tommy,
Thank you for visiting and for your review. We are delighted that you were able to enjoy your time on a day without strong winds. When you come to Hawaii again, please do visit Kailua. We look forward to welcoming you back.

The lifeguards at the different events (Paddle boarding, kayaking, snorkeling) all were very friendly and fun to talk to, but yet still very professional. The snorkeling is amesome with a great reef to see some fishes! The donuts were also very good!
