I participated in Mieko's SUP tour.
By chance, I was the only participant, so it turned into a private lesson. (laughs)
Coach Mieko was very clear and easy to talk to, and she provided enthusiastic guidance, so I was able to stand up on the board right away!
On the way there, the wind was strong, and I had a hard time moving forward, but the refreshing feeling when I reached the destination was quite something.
We went to a small island called Flat Island and took a lot of pictures.
I was able to fully experience the waves and wind of Hawaii.
After the SUP session, I rented a bike and headed towards Lanikai Beach, enjoying a solo trip like a local.
I highly recommend this tour! Thank you!
ミエコさんのSupツアーに参加しました。
参加者は偶然自分一人だけで、まさかのプライベートレッスン。笑
コーチのミエコさんはハキハキとした方で話しやすく
熱心に指導してくれてすぐに立てるようになりました!
行きは風も強く、なかなか前に進みませんでしたが
目的地に到達した時の爽快感はなかなかなもの。
フラットアイランドという小島に行き
沢山写真を撮っていただきました。
ハワイの波と風を存分に感じることができました。
Sup後は自転車を借りてラニカイビーチの方へ

Standing on the board was more difficult than I expected. I fell into the sea multiple times and had to crawl back onto the board each time, which took quite a bit of energy. Moreover, the tide changed halfway through, and by the end, I was desperately paddling towards the shore.
I was able to experience SUP, which I had always wanted to try, and when I reached the shore, I was exhausted but very satisfied. It was quite hard for me, a forty-something with zero athletic ability, but my husband was able to stand up right away, so it really does come down to athleticism...
ボードの上に立つのは思っていたよりも難しく、何度も海に落ち、その度にボードに這い上がるので、結構体力を使いました。しかも途中から潮の流れが変わり、最後は必死で岸に向かってパドルを漕ぎました。
一度は体験したいと思っていたSUPを体験できて、岸に着いたときはヘトヘトでしたが大満足でした。
運動神経ゼロのアラフォーの私にはかなりハードでしたが、夫はすぐに立てるようになったので、やはり運動神経ですね・・・

We had a blast with the tour on the Waikiki water with two kids. The location we visited had little crowds so we can have all the ocean to ourselves! Both of my kids were the first time snorkeling. Their friendly staff made sure their live vests are secured and helped them into the water. There were a lot of beautiful fishes o look at. Did not see turtles, but that's OK since we would be visiting the Turtle beach at the north shore later. Overall, we are very satisfied with the activities and services they provide.

We had the great opportunity of taking this dream tour about a mile north of the Waikiki beach where the water is much more clear than the crowded Waikiki shore. We did snorkeling, kayak, paddleboard, water slide, and whole nine yards! The water is a little rough that day, but we still had so much fun! The staff were friendly and very helpful and encourage us to try different activities. Kevin, one of the staff was very helpful to get us all buckled up in lifevests, gear up for water activities. Thank you!

According to Mieko, our coach, the conditions were excellent. It was our family's first experience, but somehow all four of us managed to stand up on the board and move! (It was a short time, though, with a wry smile.) Anyway, the weather was great, and the view of Kailua from the board was amazing!

I was a bit anxious since it was my first time. The instructor mentioned that the guidance would be in Japanese, but we were able to communicate well, so I was satisfied! Even as a beginner, the instructor helped me skillfully, and I was able to ride the waves in no time during the one-hour session. Falling off the board was not a problem at all. I definitely want to participate again!

After the lecture by the renowned instructor Mieko, I thought I had grasped the tips and headed out to the sea, underestimating how easy stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) would be. Despite the conditions being rated a 9 out of 10 with calm waves, I struggled to stand and balance at first, falling into the water multiple times and realizing how challenging it was. However, the sea was beautiful, and I felt happy to experience my first SUP in such a scenic setting, especially since participants the day before had faced high waves in the river. ✨ Although I applied sunscreen diligently, the strong sun still led to some sunburn.
After paddling mostly while sitting, I finally reached an uninhabited island where Mieko kindly explained the island's scenery and wildlife, took great photos at nice spots, and we enjoyed some conversation.
On the way back, I felt a bit more accustomed to it, and with the flow of the waves, the board moved smoothly. Thanks to Mieko's precise advice, I was able to stand and balance for longer, and it felt like I quickly returned to the beach. I wished I could have stayed out longer! I'm glad that with Mieko's guidance, I was able to stand and maneuver the board!
The recommended pizza lunch after all that effort was exceptionally delicious!
名物インストラクターミエコさんの講義の後コツは掴んだつもりで海に出て、サップは簡単にできるものだと舐めて掛かっていたんですが、当日波が穏やかで10段階中9評価のいいコンディションとのことだったのに最初は全然立ってバランスが取れず何度も海に落ちてその難しさを実感しました。ただ、海は綺麗だし前日参加の人は波が高く川でやったとのことだったのでその景色とコンディションの中初サップができることに幸せを感じました✨ただ日射しはとても強かったのでしっかり日焼け止めを塗っていたけど日焼けは避けられませんでした
ほぼ座り漕ぎでようやく辿り着いた無人島ではミエコさんが丁寧に島の景観や生物について説明してくれたりいいスポットで写真を撮ってくれたり会話も楽しめました。
帰りは少し慣れたことと波の流れもあってボードはスムーズに進み、ミエコさんの的確なアドバイスで立ってバランスが取れる時間も長くなってあっと言う間にビーチに戻れた感覚でもっと長く乗っていたかったと思いました。
今回ミエコさんに指導して頂いたお陰で立って操作できるまでになれたのでよかったです!
頑張った後のオススメピザランチは格別に美味しかったです!

Memories of Kailua Beach
The wonderful sea and sky of Kailua
And Ms. Mieko's precise instructions, along with her thoughtful considerations that anticipated three steps ahead
Fortunately, we had great conditions, and it took us 40 minutes to reach Popoia Island (I mostly paddled while sitting), but feeling the waves and wind all over my body while using my whole body to paddle was incredibly fun. Additionally, the numerous photos that Ms. Mieko took for us were all of the most beautiful sea and sky, and they have become treasures.
Also, when my sandals broke on the way back from the beach, I walked barefoot on the scorching asphalt while pulling the boat, and I will never forget how Ms. Mieko ran to meet me with her own sandals.
Thank you so much. I would love to do this again next time!
カイルアビーチの思い出
素晴らしいカイルアの海と空
そしてミエコさんの的確な指示と、3歩先まで見越した配慮と気遣い
幸い、コンディションに恵まれてポポイア島まで40分かかりました(ほぼ座って漕いでました)が、波と風を体中に感じながら、全身を使って櫂を漕ぐのはめっちゃ楽しかったです。また、ミエコさんに撮影して頂いた数々の写真は、最高に美しい海と空ばかりで、宝物になりました。
また、途中サンダルが壊れてしまい、ビーチからの帰り道、焼け付くアスファルトの上をボートをひっぱりながら裸足で歩いていたら、ミエコさんがご自分のサンダルをもって走って迎えに来てくれたことが一生忘れません。
本当にありがとうございました。また次回もお願いしたいです~

I participated alone on short notice this time. Mieko, who was in charge, explained how to ride the SUP very clearly and took a lot of photos, so I was able to relax and enjoy myself! Although the waves were strong and we couldn't go out to sea that day, going down the river was a great choice! I enjoyed SUP while chatting slowly among the lush greenery and trees bearing various fruits. The lunch was also amazing; the pizza was delicious. In the afternoon, I rented a bike and went to Lanikai Beach to play in the ocean. It was a very fulfilling day! Thank you, Mieko! I want to go again next time when the sea is calm!

I had wanted to try SUP for a long time, so my husband and I participated together. I was a bit anxious because we hardly exercise and I was worried about whether I could keep up with the instructor, Emiko, based on the reviews I read.
On the day of the event, it was quite windy, and we paddled while sitting to a nearby island, which took about 40 minutes. On the way back, I was able to stand on the board. I fell into the sea several times, but in the end, I managed to stand on the board and ride the waves all the way to the sandy beach.
In the end!! I was tired, but it was incredibly fun.
There were three participants that day, and two instructors accompanied us.
- The veteran instructor, Emiko, taught us strictly yet kindly. She had a big sister vibe that made her easy to approach, and I really liked her.
- Tomoki was super handsome and kind, and when I had trouble on the water, he gave me precise advice.
I thought I wouldn't be able to stand on the board, but by following their advice, I was able to do it in the end. I felt a sense of accomplishment that I hadn't felt in a while, and it was amazing.
During the free time in the morning, I rented a bike and took out pancakes from Boots & Kimo's to enjoy at Lanikai Beach. Cycling was also fun.
以前からSUPをしてみたくて夫婦で参加しました。
普段ほとんど運動をしていないことに加え、こちらの口コミからエミコさんというインストラクターさんについていけるか、叱られるんじゃないかと不安もありました。。。
当日は風が強く、近くの島まで座って漕ぎました。40分ほどかかりました。
帰りはボードの上に立つことが出来ました。何度も海に落ちましたが、最後はボードの上に立って波に乗りながら砂浜までたどり着くことができました。
結果!!疲れたけど、すごくすごく楽しかったです。
当日の参加者は三名で、インストラクターは二人ついて下さいました。
・ベテランインストラクターのエミコさんは厳しく&やさしく教えてくれました。姉御という感じで接しやすく大好きになりました。
・ともきさんはめちゃくちゃイケメンで、優しくて、海の上で困ったときも的確なアドレスをくれました。
ボードの上で立てないかと思いましたが、二人のアドバイスに従って最後には立つことが出来ました。
久々に達成感が得られ、最高に気持ちよかったです。

On the day of participation, we received an explanation from our guide, Mieko, that it might be better to avoid going out to sea due to strong winds. As beginners, we decided to go to the river instead. The river had no waves, so we were hardly worried about falling in.
In the river, we saw Hawaiian plants and fruits, and fish swimming around. There were also people living in luxurious homes having a party, and they cheerfully called out to us, asking if we were having fun with a microphone in hand!
My wife got a bit tired in the river, so I decided to challenge myself and go to the sea alone. There were some people being swept away, possibly due to the strong winds, but it seemed okay since the wind was not blowing out to sea. Personally, I found the waves to be more enjoyable. I recommend that those who are less strong try the areas with fewer waves. Mieko was also an interesting person and taught us carefully. I fell in once, but I would like to try again!
ガイドのMiekoさんから参加当日風が強く海に出るのはやめた方が良いかもしれない。

I thought it would be easy, but in reality, it was quite difficult to master the technique of standing and paddling—laughs. However, sitting down makes it easy even for beginners. My husband seemed to have good balance and, although he was a beginner, he was smoothly paddling while standing.
We paddled to a small island, and it was definitely worth the effort!!! It was so beautiful!! I took a lot of photos and was very satisfied☆ The instructor, Mieko, gave precise explanations!! All the other staff members were also wonderful and made it very enjoyable to play.

It was my first time trying SUP, and the instructor Mieko's explanations were easy to understand, which made it really enjoyable! I was able to do better than I expected, and the time flew by. At the island we arrived at along the way, there were seabirds and various photo spots, and thanks to the photographer Mieko, we were able to take a lot of memorable pictures. The other instructors were also very kind, whether at the beach or the shops. In the afternoon, we rode bicycles and went snorkeling, and it really felt like there wasn't enough time. I definitely want to go again!
初めてSUPでしたが、インストラクターのみえこさんの事前の説明もわかりやすく、すごく楽しめました!
思っていたよりも上手くできて、あっという間に時間がすぎました。
途中到着した島でも海鳥がいたり、色んな写真スポットもありで、カメラマンみえこさんのおかげでかなり記念写真撮ってもらえましたー。他のインストラクターの方もビーチやお店などとても親切でした。
午後は自転車乗ったり、シュノーケリングしたり本当に時間が足りない感じでした。
また、行きたいなぁと思います!

We had a great tour with (creepy) Uncle Kevin today on the North Shore of Oahu! We've been touring all around the world and can seriously rank Uncle Kevin as one of the best tour guides. The Surf Bus has the right equipment, the right itinerary and an excellent attitude. The bus was on time at every stage and Kevin had good solid connections at every stage. He took the time to work with each group on tour to insure they had the right experience. Some of the stops had multiple options and he was able to call ahead to report those options to the vendor. Kevin recommended great food and knew how important this is to an all day tour. One unmistakable clue that Kevin really knows what he is doing is that he knew so many of the other folks involved with the tour on a personal level. He's a local. He knew all of the answers because he grew up here.
Great attention to detail makes for a great tour. Uncle Kevin obviously knows what he is doing and we look forward to going on another Oahu tour with him soon. Also, kudos to the bus company. They had the right equipment and marketing to make Kevin's expertise shine.
Thanks to my creepy uncle Kevin from Oahu. Mahalo!

First, the leader asked, "Do you have stamina? Do you have spirit?" and taught us that SUP is not an elegant activity. I listened seriously and committed myself to it! Along the way, I received advice from the assistant, and although I mostly paddled while sitting, it seems I reached the island faster than I expected.
On the island, I was able to enjoy a view that only those who worked hard could see, which was amazing! On the way back, I got a bit more accustomed and was able to paddle almost standing up. My dream came true, and I was really happy.
I participated in SUP hands-free, but the leader, Mieko, took a lot of photos and sent them to my smartphone right after we returned to the shop. They were very beautiful pictures and became great memories.
リーダーから まず 「体力はある? 気合いもある?」と SUPが優雅なものでは無いことを教えてもらい 真剣に話を聞いて 取り組みました!
途中 アシスタントから アドバイスもあって 立ってみたりでもほぼ座って漕いでましたが、思っていたより 早く島へたどり着けたようです。
島では 頑張った人だけが見ることのできる景色を楽しめて最高でした!
帰りはちょっと 慣れてきて ほぼ立って漕ぐことができて 夢が叶い ほんとに嬉しかったです。
SUPには 手ぶらで参加しますが 、リーダーのみえこさんが たくさん写真を撮ってくれて ショップへ帰ってから すぐにスマホに送ってくれました、 とても きれいな写真で いい思い出になりました。

I participated with a friend. The instructor was very helpful, and we had a full hour of fun! We started with some practice and then did stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) while maneuvering the board and paddle. It was reassuring to know that if we fell, help would be there right away, and the sea wasn't too deep, so we could enjoy SUP without worry.
Gradually, we were able to go where we wanted and even lie down on the board, enjoying our free time.
Before trying it, I thought it might be difficult and didn't have high expectations, but it turned out to be the most enjoyable time of my trip to Hawaii. I want to do it again!
友達と2人で参加しました。インストラクターの方が付いてくださり、1時間たっぷり楽しめました!最初は練習から始まり、ボートとパドルを操りながらSUPしました。落ちてもすぐ助けてくれるので安心ですし、海も凄く深いわけではないので気軽にSUPできます。
次第に自分で行きたい場所に行ったりボードの上に寝転がったり、自由な時間を過ごすことができました。
やる前は難しいかなとあまり期待していなかったのですが、ハワイ旅行の中で一番楽しい時間になりました。またやりたいです!

Due to strong winds, we started with stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) on the river, but since it was my first time, it actually worked out well... At the end, I tried it in the ocean, and as they said, it was completely different from the river. However, thanks to the feeling I gained from paddling on the river and especially to Mieko's careful and precise instruction, I was able to stand a little in the ocean despite the strong winds, which was amazing!!! I think I'm going to get hooked on this! SUP with Mieko in the beautiful ocean of Kailua is highly recommended. The pizza for lunch was delicious too, and I will definitely come back to do SUP again!!! The staff were all friendly and great people, which made it fun. Thank you very much.
強風の為、始め川でのSUPでしたが初SUPだったのでむしろ良かったです…最後に試しにと海でのトライ、言われてた通り川と海とでは別物でした。でも予め川で感覚を掴んだ事と、何よりみえこさんの丁寧かつ的確な指導のお陰で、強風の中、海でも少しだけ立つ事が出来て最高でした!!!癖になりそうです!カイルアの美しい海で、みえこさんとのSUP、本当にお勧めです。ランチのピザも美味しかったし、またSUPしに戻ってきます!!!スタッフの方もみんなフレンドリーで良い人達で楽しかったです。ありがとうございました。

The instructor is a Hawaiian uncle (or grandfather?) who seems to have merged with the sea, a true professional. He was very friendly and remembered some necessary Japanese phrases (like "paddle" and "paddle more").
When you go into the water with the instructor, you can go quite deep. I was able to see a turtle swimming by. I can't forget the turtle that looked over at me while taking a slow breath.
Whether you're traveling as a couple or with family, you absolutely should try paddle surfing!
先生はハワイアンのおじさん(おじいさん?)で、
もはや海と同化しているようなプロです。
感じもよくて、必要な日本語も覚えていました。
(漕いで~、もっと漕いで~など)
先生と海に入るときはかなり深いところまで行けます。
カメが横を泳いでいくのも見られました。
ゆっくり息継ぎをしながらこっちをじろりと見たカメさんが忘れられないです。
二人旅でも、家族でも、パドルサーフィンは絶対やったほうがいいですよ!

Thanks to our guide Mieko, we had a very enjoyable experience. Before heading out to sea, she made sure we practiced thoroughly, and as a result, we were able to smoothly reach the open waters. We were told that the difficulty varies with the weather and waves, but it seemed we had the best conditions that day, allowing us to fully enjoy the beautiful sea and sky. I lacked the courage to stand up while landing on the island, so I spent a lot of time sitting, but my husband was determined to stand and did his best. He fell off about three times during the round trip. Still, he said it felt great to stand and paddle, and he experienced a sense of accomplishment. We also enjoyed a delicious lunch, and after the SUP, we were able to borrow bicycles to explore the stunning scenery around us. Afterward, we were both sound asleep on the bus, feeling pleasantly tired. When we come back to Hawaii, I definitely want to experience SUP with Mieko again! I am truly grateful for the wonderful memories we made on our last day in Hawaii. Thank you very much.
ガイドのミエコさんのおかげでとても楽しい経験をさせてもらいました。海に出る前にしっかりと練習を叩き込んで下さり、その甲斐もあって順調に沖まで出ることが出来ました。天気と波によってハードさが違うと言われましたが私達はベストコンディションの日だったようで綺麗な海、空を満喫することができました。向こうの島までの上陸で落ちる勇気が無い私は座ってる時間が長かったですが主人は立つことメインで頑張っていました。往復で3回くらい落ちていました。それでも、やはり立って漕いで気持ち良かった、達成感があったと言っていました。お昼も美味しいランチ、SUP終了後には自転車も貸してもらい周辺の絶景を楽しむことができました。終わった後はバスの中で夫婦爆睡で心地よい疲労感がありました。
又ハワイに来た時にはミエコさんのSUP経験したいです!!ハワイ最終日とてもいい思い出が出来たこと本当に感謝しております。
ありがとうございました。

This was a great tour! The driver was very good & had a lot of knowledge about the island! We stopped at a Macadamia nut farm & we didn’t even know that it was a scheduled stop! It was pretty cool! We snorkeled & went kayaking as well! They were all exciting activities! You definitely don’t want to rush the experience!
