This was a lot of fun but I think it would have been better if the bus would go to the waterfall and one beach place to allow more time to do activities. Our bus driver was informative but repeated himself alot which did get a little annoying at times.

It was my first time doing SUP, but the instructor was kind and explained everything clearly, so I was able to move as I wanted in about 30 minutes. The wind and waves made SUP challenging, but I was able to enjoy it nonetheless. Next time, I want to challenge myself to go a bit faster and venture further out.
初めてのSUPでしたが、インストラクターが親切に分かりやすく教えてくれたので、30分くらいで思うように進むことが出来るようになりました。風や波はSUPを難しくするのですが、それはそれで楽しむことができました。次回はもう少しスピードを出して、沖の方まで行くことにチャレンジしたいと思います。

I had surfed a few times before, but since it had been a while, I was a bit worried. However, at Waikiki Beach, they helped me with positioning and everything, so all I had to do was stand up, and I was able to enjoy it thoroughly!
サーフィンは、何度かやったことがありましたが久々だったので心配だったのですが、ワイキキビーチで、ポジショニングも向きも全部していただき、あとは立つだけで大丈夫だったので十分楽しめましたー
Thank you very much for the five-star review! When you return to Waikiki, please consider using our services again! We also have paddle boards ready right in front of the ocean, so I think it will be convenient for rentals. We offer rentals in front of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel or on either side of the Sheraton Waikiki Hotel (Diamond Head Beach, Gray's Beach), so feel free to stop by! Mahalo nui loa!
5つ星の口コミ、誠にありがとうございました! ワイキキに戻られた際はまた弊社のサービスをご利用ください! パドルボードも海目の前に用意しておりますので、レンタルにも便利だと思います。ロイヤルハワイアンホテル前、あるいはシェラトンワイキキホテル両脇(ダイアモンドヘッドビーチ、グレーズビーチ)にて貸出しておりますのでご気軽にお越しください! マハロヌイロア!

I had a lesson with Teacher Aiza. I heard that she used to be an English teacher in Japan, so I felt very relieved to receive instruction in Japanese and was able to enter the sea comfortably. Previously, when I took a private surfing lesson at another school in Waikiki, the instructor couldn't speak Japanese, and since I didn't understand English, we couldn't communicate well. However, this time, I was very satisfied because she taught me in detail in Japanese.
Also, since the waters in Hawaii are quite deep, the lessons take place far offshore. When I caught a wave, it was a struggle to paddle back, and I had a hard time during my last lesson at a different location. Before we started, I mentioned this, and this time, the instructor helped me by placing her foot on the board and taking me out each time, making it very easy to get out to the waves.
She taught me the timing when good waves came and pushed the board for me, so I was able to stand up every time and ride the waves for a long time. It was truly fun.
The meeting point is a bit hard to find, so I will upload a photo.
アイザ先生にレッスンしていただきました。
日本で英語の先生をされていたそうで、日本語でご指導いただけてとても安心して海に入ることができました。
以前、ワイキキの他のスクールでサーフィンのプライベートレッスンしたときには日本語の話せない先生で私が英語が分からないこともあり、意思疎通ができずだったのですが今回は日本語で細かく教えていただけ、大満足でした。
また、ハワイは遠くまで足がつくのでかなり沖の方でレッスンするため、波に乗ってきてしまうとパドリングして沖まで戻るのが必死で前回違う場所でレッスンしたときにとても大変だったという話を、始まる前にしたところ、今回は先生がボードに足をかけて一緒に沖まで毎回連れて行ってくださり、とてもとても簡単に沖まででることができました。
いい波が来るとタイミングを教えてくださり、ボー
ドを押してくださるので毎回立つことができ、長く波になることができ本当に楽しかったです。
集合場所が少し分かりづらいので写真をアップさせていただきます。
Thank you very much for writing such a wonderful 5-star review! I truly appreciate the detailed explanation about the check-in location. I will also pass on your kind words to the instructor, Aiza. We look forward to your next visit!

On the day, the wind was strong, so we couldn't do stand-up paddle surfing, and instead, we headed to the island by kayak. The trip there was slow due to the headwind, and even with all my effort, it took about 30 minutes. The return trip was quick because of the tailwind. I ended up with sore muscles, but it was really fun.

Picked this tour to the north shore due to the choice of activities and since it had pick up from Waikiki. Mike was our guide and informative. Snorkelled at Shark's cove then headed to Waimea Bay for some snorkelling and beach time. Then chose to paddle boarding down the river near Haleiwa instead of kayaking. Ended the tour at Haleiwa. Good tour for the time spent up north and activities you could participate in and p/u provided.

On a day when the wind was blowing strongly, I felt anxious, but the staff member said, "It's not impossible to go out to sea, but the river is calmer. Which would you like to choose?" I chose the river for safety. It was great to have a relaxing SUP experience while feeling connected to nature on the river. After returning from the river, they told me, "We have a little time left, so if you want to try the sea, you can!" I decided to give it a shot. The waves and wind were indeed strong, and no matter how hard I paddled, I couldn't reach the target island, but I had fun trying.
風が強めに吹く日にあたってしまい不安だったところ、スタッフさんが「海に出れなくはないけど、川のほうが穏やか。どっちに行きたい?」と選択させてくれました。
安全をとり川を選択。自然を感じながらのんびりSUP体験ができて川のSUPも良かったです。
川から戻ってきた後、「少し時間があるから、海にTRYしたければできるよ!」と言ってもらい、思い切ってTRY。やはり波と風が強く、漕いでも漕いでも前に進まず目標の島までは辿り着けませんでしたが、TRYすることができて楽しかったです。

The day of participation had nice weather with no wind, making for great conditions. The staff girl who was waiting for us on the beach supported me, and when I got on the board and went a little ahead to where the guide was, he said, "Stand up and look!" I stood up hesitantly, but as soon as I started paddling, I lost my balance and fell off (laughs). I managed to get back on the board, but it was tough for me, an aunt who doesn't usually exercise, so I decided to paddle while sitting down from then on! (Sitting is quite stable.)
My son, who participated with me (21 years old), easily stood up and paddled without any trouble, while the guide adjusted his pace to accommodate my slower speed as we headed toward the uninhabited island.
They had prepared water for us, and the guide took care of my smartphone, so I enjoyed the scenery and took breaks while capturing photos. The guide also accompanied my son and taught him how to ride the waves, and he was thrilled to be able to ride the waves pretty well, saying that paddling while surfing was exhilarating and a lot of fun.
After that, we strolled around the island and returned to the beach, but it was unusually windy, and my arms were sore from the effort (laughs).
As for points I was concerned about beforehand:
- We could choose from two restaurants for lunch, but since the pizza place opens at 11 AM, it would be tough for those starting at 11:30.
- There were about four changing rooms separated by curtains, so changing was okay.
- The showers were outside, so they were just for rinsing off sand.
- The lockers were large enough for changing clothes and valuables and had locks.
- The guide prepared water for us on the beach.
- They transported the boards on a cart back and forth to the beach.
- We had about two hours of free time, so we borrowed bikes and could go to Boots Kimora for pancakes to-go in about an hour round trip.
Sunscreen is a must. I was careless because it wasn't scorching hot, but it was tough when I got home. Next time, I want to leisurely enjoy renting a board in front of the hotel.
参加日はお天気で風もなくいいコンディションだったそうです。
ビーチで待っててくれたスタッフの女の子がサポートしてくれてボードに座り少し先で待っててくれるガイドさんの所まで行くと「立って見て~」と言われ、恐る恐る立っては見ましたが、パドルでこぐなりバランス崩して落ちました(笑)
何とかボードに乗りましたが、普段運動してないおばちゃんにはキツかったので、その後は座ってこぐ事にしました!(座ると結構安定してます)
一緒に参加した息子(21)はあっさり立って簡単にこいでましたが、ガイドさんが遅い私に合わせてくれてゆっくり無人島に向かいました。
お水を用意してくれていて、スマホもガイドさんが預かってくれてたので、私は景色を楽しんだり休憩しながら撮影する事にしましたが、ガイドさんが息子に付き合ってくれて波乗りの仕方を教えてくれたりして、そこそこ波に乗れるようになり、パドルでのサーフィンがスピード感があってめっちゃ楽しいと喜んでました。
その後島を散歩してビーチに帰りますが、珍しく向かい風だったらしく腕も筋肉痛でしたw
事前に気になっていた点として
○2店舗から選べる昼食付きでしたが、ピザは11時オープンの為11時半スタート組は厳しい。
○更衣室はカーテンで仕切られた所が4つ位あったので着替えOK
○シャワーは外にあるので砂を流す程度
○ロッカーは鍵付きで着替えや貴重品が入る大きさでした
○ビーチにはガイドさんがお水を用意してくれます
○ビーチまでの往復台車にボードを乗せて運びます
○自由時間が2時間位あったので自転車を借りてブーツキモアのパンケーキをto goなら往復1時間位で可能。
日焼け対策必須です。ジリジリする暑さがなかったので油断してましたが、帰ってから大変でした^^;
今度はホテル前にあったレンタルボードでのんびり楽しみたいと思います。

I participated wearing a T-shirt over my swimsuit. The wind was strong, and we experienced it on the river that day. It seems that it's hard to fall off in the river, but two people lost their balance and fell in. There were people kayaking in the ocean despite the strong winds, but I wouldn't recommend going out to sea on a windy day. On the river, we were able to relax and chat while learning about various things in Hawaii.
After the experience, we had about 2 hours and 30 minutes of free time. I rented a bike and headed into town, reaching Boots & Kimo's in about 10 minutes. It was a very enjoyable tour.

This was my second time doing the SUP.
First, the meeting point mentioned during the reservation was between the Royal Hawaiian and the Sheraton, but in reality, it was between the Halekulani and the Sheraton. I arrived with enough time, so I made it, but it was cutting it close. It might be better to correct that. (In the end, the instructor was late, so it worked out.) Also, the instructor only spoke English, so if it was my first time, I might not have understood.
I had a lot of fun and was very satisfied. The waterproof case where I kept my money wouldn’t open, and while I was fumbling with it, the instructor left, so I couldn’t give a tip. I’m sorry. I think it would be helpful to have a plan that includes tips for outdoor activities.
2回目のsupでした。
まず、予約時に書いてある集合場所が
ロイヤルハワイアンとシェラトンの間のビーチとありましたが、実際にはハレクラニとシェラトンの間でした。
余裕持って行ったので間に合いましたが、ギリギリでした。修正された方がよいのかも。(結局はインストラクターの方が遅れてきたのでよかったですが)
あと、インストラクター は英語オンリーなので、初めてだったらわからなかったかも。
とても楽しく出来て大満足でした。
お金を入れていた防水ケースが開かなかって、モタモタしていたら、インストラクターが帰ってしまってチップを渡せませんでした。ごめんなさい。

I participated with my husband on a weekday morning, and since there were no other participants, we had a nearly private lesson with just one instructor. The instructor was a local, and he explained the basic movements, things to watch out for, and key points using gestures and simple Japanese words, so there were almost no communication issues.
After a 5-minute lecture on land, we spent about 45 minutes in the water, and each of us got to try riding the waves about 6 or 7 times (I managed to ride about half of those). The lesson took place on the east side of Waikiki's main beach, at Gray's Beach in front of the Sheraton, where there were few beachgoers and other surfers, allowing us to focus on the lesson in a relatively spacious area. The water temperature was just right, and the gentle waves were perfect for beginners, making it a luxurious spot to enjoy the view of Diamond Head and the hotels along Waikiki Beach.
After the lesson, one of the staff showed us the photos he had taken on the computer and offered to help us purchase them. The price was $52 per person for the USB data (a total of about $104 for around 15 shots), which was quite expensive, so my husband and I discussed it and decided we wanted to have a keepsake of ourselves riding the waves, so we went back to buy them later (both cash and card were accepted).
This was my second time surfing in Waikiki (and my fifth time overall, including Japan and the mainland U.S.), and aside from the cost of the photo data, I was very satisfied, so I gave it 4 stars.
平日の午前中に主人と二人で参加しましたが、他の参加者がいなかったため、私たち夫婦に先生一人というほぼプライベートなレッスンを受けることができました。先生は現地の方でしたが、基本動作や注意すること、ポイントなどをジェスチャーや単語レベルでの日本語を使って説明してくれ、意思疎通にはほぼ問題ありませんでした。
陸でのレクチャー5分のあと、海に出ている時間は大体45分程度で、一人6,7回波にトライさせてもらいました。(私が乗れたのはそのうち半分くらい)レッスンの場所はワイキキのメインビーチの東側、シェラトンの前のグレイズビーチというところで、海水浴客や他のサーファーも少なく、割と広い場所でレッスンに集中することができました。海自体の水温もちょうど良く、初心者向けの穏やかな波でダイヤモンドヘッドからワイキキビーチのホテル群までをを眺めながらの贅沢な場所だったと思います。
レッスン後、スタッフの一人が撮ってくれていた写真をパソコンで見せてくれ購入を斡旋してきますが、USBのデータで1人52ドル(二人合わせて104ドル合計15ショットくらい)となかなかの値段だったため、主人と検討しやはり自分たちが波に乗っている姿を記念に欲しいということで後日購入しに行きました。(現金、カード共にOKでした)
今回、ワイキキでのサーフィンは2回目(私は日本、アメリカ本土合わせて5回目)でしたが、写真のデータの料金以外はとても満足でしたので☆4つにしました。

I have experience with stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), while my wife is a beginner, so we participated in a tour without a guide this time.
First, we arrived at Kailua Beach Center, listened to the instructions, and then loaded the boards onto a cart to head to the beach. It's a bit of a distance. We started around 10 AM and paddled to a nearby island. Since it was Kailua, I was worried about strong winds, but on that day, it was about 5 to 6 m/s, which I think is manageable for experienced paddlers. By the way, my wife fell down while kneeling about halfway through. We wanted to head into Kailua town in the afternoon, so we wrapped up at the beach early and returned to Kailua Beach Center by noon.
For lunch, we chose pizza, and it was huge! If you're a light eater, two people might be fine sharing one. But it was really delicious.
Before 1 PM, we rented bicycles (for a fee) and headed to Kailua town, which takes about 15 minutes. We went to a popular shop featured in a magazine, but it was closed for the day, and my wife was disappointed. It's a good idea to check the closed days in advance. We also managed to visit the shop of windsurfing legend Robby Naish.
私はSUP経験あり、妻が初心者で今回、ガイドなしプランのツアーに参加しました。
まず、カイルアビーチセンターに到着して、説明を聞いた後、ボードを台車に乗っけてビーチへ。ちょっと距離あります。10時すぎから始めました。少し離れた島まで漕ぎました。カイルアなので強風を心配してましたが、この日は5〜6m/s程度でした。経験者であれば余裕だと思います。ちなみに妻は膝立ちで半分くらいのところでダウン。昼からカイルアの街にも出掛けたかったので、早々にビーチを引き上げ、12時にはカイルアビーチセンターに戻りました。
昼食は、ピザを選びましたが、これがデカイ!少食の方は二人で一人前で大丈夫かも。でもとても美味しかったです。
1時前に自転車(有料)をレンタルして、カイルアの街へ。15分程度で行けます。雑誌に載ってる人気店に行ったら定休日で、妻は残念がってました。事前に定休日は確認した方がいいですね。あと、ウィンドサーフィンのロビー・ナッシュさんのお店にも行けました。

I want to try SUP that I saw on TV and at Waikiki when I go to Hawaii! If possible, I also want to eat pancakes in Kailua and look for places to do that in Kailua.
On the day, the wind was stronger than I expected, and as a first-timer, I was worried if I would be okay. However, thanks to our guide MIEKO, it became a very enjoyable and memorable SUP experience.
First, we received a lesson at the shop, and then we pulled our boards to the water and headed from the river to the ocean. Due to the strong wind and my weak core, I struggled to paddle while standing properly on the way to the uninhabited island, and I even fell into the sea a couple of times. However, I learned tips on how to get back on the board, so by the time we returned, I was able to stand and paddle properly.
After SUP, we had lunch (the pizza was delicious!), and during our free time afterward, we rented bicycles to go to Kailua town, where I was able to enjoy the pancakes I was aiming for. MIEKO was very kind, arranging for us to ride in a staff member's car to Waikiki at a later time than originally planned.
I definitely want to challenge myself to SUP here again next year!
テレビやワイキキの海でやっていたSUPを、ハワイに行ったらやりたい!
できるならカイルアの街でパンケーキも食べたいし、カイルアの海でやっているところを、と
思って探していました。
当日の風は思ったより強く、本当に大丈夫かしら・・・と初体験の私は心配でしたが
ガイドのMIEKOさんのおかげでとても楽しく、思い出深いSUPとなりました。
最初、お店で講習を受けて、そのあと自分たちでボードのカートを引っ張って持っていき
川から海に出ていきました。
風が強いせいと、私の体幹が弱いせいか、行きの無人島まではなかなかちゃんと立ってこぐことができず、途中バランスを崩して海に落ちたりもしましたが、
自分でボードに上がるコツも教えてもらっていたので、帰りの最後はちゃんとボードに立ってこぐこともできました。
SUPの後はランチ(ピザ、美味しかったです!)を食べて、そのあとの自由時間にはカイルアの街までレンタサイクルも借りれて、お目当てのパンケーキも無事に食べることができたし
MIEKOさんの計らいで、帰りの予定の時間よりも遅い時間にワイキキまで行くスタッフの人の車に乗せてもらえたり、と
とても親切にしてもらえました。
来年もまたぜひここでSUPに挑戦したいな、と思っています♪

It was my first time trying stand-up paddle surfing. At first, I was anxious, but the instructor spoke fluent Japanese, which made me feel at ease during the lesson. I fell off the board several times, but by the end, I was able to stand properly, and it was a lot of fun. I thought I would like to try it again when I go to Hawaii.
初めてのスタンドアップパドル・サーフィンでした。最初は不安でしたがインストラクターは日本語ペラペラで安心してレッスンできました。 何度がボードから落ちましたが最後の方はちゃんと立てるようになりとても楽しかったです。またハワイい行ったとき挑戦したしと思いました。

The best of tour plusses without the negatives. You spend most of your time at the location you choose and doing the activity you choose. Justin was very knowledgeable and personable. He let us choose our activity on site and even let people customize it by picking 2 morning activites and no afternoon ones. It was awesome.

Stand-up surfing was easy and fun. However, it was advertised as about 90 minutes, but it ended after 60 minutes.
スタンドアップサーフィンは簡単でしたし楽しかったです。ただ90分程度との案内でしたが60分で終わりました。
Thank you very much for your patronage.
However, we sincerely apologize for any misunderstanding caused by the unclear information on the tour page, even though you enjoyed the lesson. The 90 minutes indicated on the tour page refers to the total time from check-in to the conclusion of the tour. As stated in the schedule, the lesson itself is 60 minutes long, and we hope you can understand this.
Thank you again for your valuable feedback during your busy time.
Best regards,

This was my first time in Hawaii, and I signed up for a tour because I wanted to do stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) in the beautiful ocean. It took about an hour by bus from Waikiki to get there. After arriving and receiving an explanation, we had about two and a half hours of free time in the morning. The beach was less than a five-minute walk from the meeting point, so we played at the beach in the morning, had pizza for lunch before the meeting time, and then finally got to do SUP in the afternoon. The waves were strong, so we practiced in a nearby river first before moving to the ocean for SUP. On days with smaller waves, they say you can paddle to a nearby island and take a 30-minute walk on the uninhabited island before returning. It was a bit disappointing that we couldn't reach the uninhabited island due to the waves, but I was really satisfied to do SUP in such a beautiful ocean! SUP was also a lot of fun! I definitely recommend it for anyone trying SUP for the first time. After the tour, I wanted to explore Kailua town, but the return bus was scheduled for 2:30 PM, so I couldn't. It seems there are buses that leave around 5 PM depending on availability, so if that's the case, you could visit Kailua town as well. However, I won't know if I can change the bus time until I go on the day. But the beach is so beautiful that you'll want to stay there all day. I thought if you split your schedule between a day at the beach and a day exploring the town, you would have a great time.
初めてのハワイ、キレイな海でSUPしたくてツアーに申し込みました。
ワイキキからバスで1時間くらいで到着。到着して説明受けて、午前中2時間半くらいは自由時間でした。集合場所からビーチまでは5分もかからないくらいだったので、午前はビーチで遊んで、集合時間前にランチのピザ食べて、午後から念願のSUP。波が強くて、わたしたちは最初近くの川で練習して、海に移動してSUPしました。波があんまりない日は、SUPで近くの島まで行って、30分くらい無人島を散歩して帰ってくるそうです。波の影響で無人島まで行けなかったのがちょっと残念でしたが、初のSUPをあんなにきれいな海でできたのは本当に満足です!SUPも楽しかった!初めてのSUPをする人には、絶対おすすめです。ツアーが終わっててカイルアの街に繰り出したかったけど、帰りのバスの時間が14時半とかだったので、できませんでした。空き状況によっては、17時くらいに帰れるバスもあるみたいなので、それだったらカイルアの街も行けると思います。でも、バスの時間が変更できるかどうかは、当日行ってみないと分かりません。でも、ビーチがとにかくきれいなので、一日中ビーチにいたくなります。カイルアは1日ビーチ、1日街の散策とで分けて予定組めば、すごく楽しめると思いました。

It was my first experience with SUP, so I was worried about whether I could ride it properly, but thanks to the strict instruction (laughs), I was able to do it and had a lot of fun. I also extended my trip to the neighboring beach by renting a bicycle, but unfortunately, the sea wasn't as beautiful as I had heard due to the weather conditions. The pizza from the nearby place for lunch was delicious, though!
SUPは初体験だったのでまともに乗れるようになるのか不安でしたが、スパルタ指導(笑)のおかげで乗れるようになり、楽しかったです。自転車レンタルで隣のビーチまで足を延ばしたのですが、気候の影響で評判ほどには海が綺麗でなかったのが残念でした。お昼も隣のピザがおいしくて良かったです。

Thank you very much for the five-star review! When you return to Waikiki, please consider using our services again! We also have paddleboards ready right in front of the ocean, so I think it will be convenient for rentals. We offer rentals in front of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel or on either side of the Sheraton Waikiki Hotel (Diamond Head Beach, Gray's Beach), so feel free to stop by! Mahalo Nui Loa!
