ワイキキビーチ SUP 1時間プライベートレッスン <ロイヤルハワイアンホテル>

Absolutely safe and secure! It's comfortable, but don't expect much thrill. 絶対安全で安心! 気持ちいいけど、スリルはあまり期待できません

Reviewed by: ひろし

We experienced canoe surfing as a family of four. There are floatation devices attached like sidebars, making it safe for small children and the elderly. Since it's in Waikiki, it's convenient and refreshing, but the waves are small, so you won't get much thrill. After riding the waves twice, it's over, so it really ends in the blink of an eye. A photographer captures moments while surfing, but they didn't tell us where the photographer was, so we couldn't pose facing them. Therefore, the experience photos turned out to be a bit disappointing.

家族4名でカヌーサーフィンを体験しました。転覆防止の浮きのようなものがサイドバーのように付いているので小さい子供やお年寄りでも安全です。ワイキキなのでお手軽で、気分爽快ですが、波が小さいのでスリルは味わえません。二度、波に乗ると終了なので、本当にあっという間に終わります。カメラマンが波乗り中の様子を撮影してくれるのですが、どこにカメラマンがいるのか教えてくれなかったので、そちらを向いてポーズをとることが出来ませんでした。なので、せっかくの体験写真がイマイチだったのが非常に残念です。

Discover Oahu’s North Shore from Waikiki with The Surf Bus - Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Waimea Falls

The surf bus

Reviewed by: R Studley

The concept is great. Transport is reliable, clean and on time. The tour guide, Harry, was entertaining and very friendly. The only thing we would suggest is that surfing be offered as one of the activities - it is after all what the area is best known for!
I would recommend this for anyone who wants an active day.

Reply from activity provider

Thank you for the great review, surfing is offered to those with prior experience with our basic package.For the unexperienced folks we require they book the package which includes the "SURF LESSON". We are sorry if that wasn't explained thoroughly by Harry and will have to talk to him about that.

Discover Oahu’s North Shore from Waikiki with The Surf Bus - Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Waimea Falls

North Shore Beaches Surf Bus Tour with Driver Sam

Reviewed by: The Lyons Lot

Our family of 6 adults from Brisbane Australia loved this whole day tour. Our driver / tour guide Sam picked us up from our hotel on time, & drove safely. He was so friendly and knowledgeable about Oahu, and explained all the sights on the way to the North Shore - he make the entire trip an awesome experience. He gave us a drive by & quick stop at each of the available activities before we chose them, then dropped us all to our chosen areas. 3 of us chose bike riding along the famous surfing beaches where we could stop and have beach time as we liked; the other 3 the walk through the beautiful gardens to the waterfall. Though a lovely walk, it is quite a long one, for anyone older. If you want a swim at the Falls, take cash for a compulsory life jacket hire! From there we walked back to Waimea Bay beach for a swim until our bus pick up. Our next activity for 4 of us was SUP (stand up paddle boarding) and 2 did kayaking. We LOVED this time on the water and would have liked to have a bit less time on the morning activities and more time for the afternoon ones! After, we walked through the town and sampled the Shaved Ice and some delicious lunch before boarding the bus completely satisfied with our day. We did several different tours while in Waikiki, and this was BY FAR the very best for the sightseeing, and activities on offer, plus the freedom to have our own time was fantastic. We were REALLY impressed with Sam the driver & happy to tip him well for his outstanding service - he contributed in a big way to making it the best tour during our time in Hawaii. Thank you Sam! I would highly recommend this tour, well worth it and we have great memories of our day.

Kualoa Ranch Private Beach at Secret Island - Kayak, SUP, Volleyball & More

Paradise is here!

Reviewed by: mblock

After the check-in at Kualoa Ranch we took a shuttle to Moli'i Fishpond deck. When crossing the fishpond on a floating boat make sure to have your camera ready! It's the best time to take pictures of the majestic mountain range. The scenery is incredible, you feel like you are in a movie!

Once on the other side, we started enjoying our day at this beautiful private beach with views from Chinaman's Hat and Kaneohe Bay. They have restrooms, changing rooms, fresh water shower, covered picnic tables and a staff member to help you if you need anything. Make sure to bring sunscreen and some snacks.

My brother and I spent the morning kayaking, snorkeling, stand up paddling and playing games. The staff took us on a quick Glass Bottom Boat ride and we spotted a lot of green sea turtles! After all those activities we were just relaxing in a hammock under a palm tree.

I will definitely come back to enjoy another relaxing day there!

ワイキキビーチ SUP 1時間プライベートレッスン <ロイヤルハワイアンホテル>

Enjoying surfing♪ 波乗りを満喫♪

Reviewed by: たいちゃんママ

I requested private lessons for my 10-year-old son. I was a bit worried since he doesn't understand much English, but the coach provided clear instruction in simple English, so he had no trouble at all. Being a child, he improved quickly, and although it might be a parent's bias, I felt he was able to ride the waves longer than the adults who were taking group lessons at the same time. It became a wonderful memory, and it seems he also found joy in experiencing a sport that other kids hadn't mastered yet. I plan to have him try again next time.

10歳の息子のプライベートレッスンをお願いしました。英語があまりわからないので大丈夫かな?と思ったのですが、コーチは平易な英語でわかりやすく指導してくださってまったく困ることはなかったようです。子供なので上達も早く、親の欲目かもしれませんが同じ時刻にグループレッスンを受けていた大人の方より長く波に乗れていたように思います。良い思い出になりましたし、他の子供のマスターしていないスポーツをいち早く体験できたという喜びにも繋がったようです。次回もチャレンジさせたいと思っています。

Dear Tai-chan's Mom,

Semi-private surfing セミプライベートサーフィン

Reviewed by: junpi

We had one instructor for three people. It was my second time surfing, while the other two were surfing for the first time. Waikiki Beach has gentle waves and is quite shallow, so even those who are not confident swimmers can feel safe. Most other surfing lessons are two hours long, and since I was exhausted from my previous surfing lesson, I decided to go with this one-hour option. The waves weren't very high, but everyone was able to ride at least three times for sure. I wonder if I could have ridden more? I felt a bit unsatisfied with just one hour, but the two beginners seemed quite tired after that hour. Next time, I want to try the two-hour course and challenge myself with slightly higher waves! After all, surfing in Hawaii is the best. I definitely want to surf again the next time I go to Hawaii!

3人にインストラクターが1人ついて教えてもらいました。私は2回目のサーフィン、他2人は初のサーフィン。ワイキキビーチは波が穏やかで、かなり遠浅だったのでポイントでも足がつくので泳ぎが不安なひとでも大丈夫です。他のサーフィンレッスンは2時間が多く、前のサーフィンレッスンでクタクタになったので今回は1時間にしようと思いこちらを選びました。波はそんなに高くないですが、全員3回は確実にのれました。もっと乗れたかな?私は1時間で少し物足りなかったけど、初めての2人は1時間でかなり疲れたみたいです。次回は2時間コースで、もう少し高めの波にチャレンジしたいです!何はともあれ、やっぱりハワイでするサーフィンは最高です。次回もハワイに行くときは必ずサーフィンしたいです!

Dear JUNPI,

Thank you very much for using Waikiki Beach Services. All of our activities are set for one hour. As you mentioned, two hours can be too long for beginners. When you're tired, spending a long time in the water increases the risk of accidents. We prioritize our customers' safety above all.

For those who feel that one hour is not enough, we also offer board rentals at the same location, so you can continue to enjoy activities afterward.

As you know, wave conditions change depending on the season and weather. During the winter months in Hawaii, there are usually very few waves on the South Shore. We hope you can visit again in the summer!

We look forward to seeing you again.

JUNPI様:

この度はワイキキビーチサービスをご利用いただき、誠にありがとうございました。 弊社のアクティビティーは全て1時間となっています。その利用はお客様がおっしゃっているように、2時間では初心者の方には長すぎるからなのです。疲れているときに長い間水中に入っていますと、事故に繋がる確立も増えます。弊社ではお客様の安全を第一に考えております。

1時間では足りないと思うお客様には、その後、ボードレンタルも同じ場所で行っておりますので、続けてアクティビティーを楽しんでいただける事も可能です。 

ご存知のとおり、波のコンディションは時期や天候にによって変わります。ハワイの冬の時期はサウスショアには殆ど波がございません。次回は夏にいらっしゃってみてくださいね!

ではまたのお越しをお待ちしております。

Even beginners can enjoy it! 初心者でも楽しめます!

Reviewed by: yoppy

You can easily debut in surfing at Waikiki Beach.

One hour may seem short at first glance, but it was sufficient. I think Waikiki is suitable for beginners since the waves are gentle. I participated in the morning lesson, which I recommend because it allows you to make the most of your day. After the lesson, I returned to the hotel, had lunch in Waikiki, joined another tour in the afternoon, and went shopping at night, making it a full day of fun.

By the way, the instructor had stayed in Japan, so he mixed in some Japanese during the explanations, which I think makes it easy for those who can't speak English to participate with confidence.

Thanks to the one-on-one lesson, I was able to ride the waves continuously, which was great.

ワイキキビーチでさくっとサーフィンデビューできます。

1時間と一見短そうに感じますが、十分でした。
ワイキキは波も穏やかなので初心者向けかと思います。
朝一のレッスンに参加したのですが、1日を有効に使えるのでおすすめです。
レッスン後ホテルに戻り、ワイキキでランチをとり、午後からは別のツアーに参加し、夜は買い物をし、と1日フルで遊べました。

ちなみに先生は日本に滞在していたこともあり、日本語も織り交ぜで説明してくれるので、
英語が話せない方でも安心して参加できると思います。

マンツーマンのレッスンにしたお蔭で、ひたすら波に乗れたのもよかったです。

most beautiful beach in the USA!!! I had such a great day. I really enjoyed stand up paddle boarding, it wasn't too difficult, anyone would be able to give it a go. it was gentle waves once you pass the crashing waves on the beach, I did go into the surf further out to catch some waves which was great fun!! I also stand up paddle boarded at Waikiki and this was sooo much better than Waikiki. better views, better wave conditions and better equipment. so so beautiful and such a great day. prob my fav activity during my holiday at hawaii.

Awesome time

Reviewed by: Grace S

This was a truly awesome experience. We had Sam as a driver and he was totally great. He navigated traffic well and all of his narrating was necessary, funny and enjoyable.
We had a slight problem in that we missed our pick up (oops!) but the company was helpful and told us where to go to get another pick up.
We did some bike riding in the morning, saw Pipeline and had a great time. In the afternoon we tried SUP and saw turtles! It was a fully awesome experience. So good getting out and SEEING the North Shore, not just taking pictures of it.

Thank you for your comment, Five Star! The outrigger canoe is indeed an activity that can be enjoyed even by those who cannot swim, accommodating 4 to 6 people, making it a very fun experience for families to ride the waves together. Additionally, little ones can sit facing their mom or dad and don’t have to paddle, so I believe they had a great time. We look forward to your next visit!

First experience with paddle surfing. パドルサーフ初体験

We gathered at 2:30 and arrived right on time, but after checking in, we had to wait for 30 minutes because there was still time until 3:00.

I felt that the meeting time was a bit too early. I actually wanted to go longboarding, but since there were no waves, we switched to paddle surfing. It wasn't particularly difficult, so my wife got the hang of it quickly and was paddling out into the ocean with enthusiasm! The guide only spoke English, but he was very fun and friendly. There is a Japanese staff member at the reception, so it's reassuring.

2時半集合で時間ぴったりに行ったが、受付後まだ時間があるので3時まで時間をつぶしておいてくださいと30分待ちぼうけ。

My husband and I were disappointed with the tour guide. We felt he had a attitude about him and really didn't want to be there. At times we thought he was being rude in his manor and attitude. We went on another tour and the guide was so different and really acted like he wanted to be there. It made a big difference on the tour and made it much more enjoyable. The tour itself was great, but it could of been a lot nicer if the guide was more interested in the people on his bus and what he was doing.

It was fun! 楽しかったです!

Reviewed by: なおみん

Due to local circumstances, I couldn't take lessons directly on the beach, so I took lessons at a surf shop and made my way to the beach on my own. I was really anxious, but at the water's edge, the guide was there to assist me, so I was able to safely head out to sea.

After that, it was incredibly fun, and we went to a deserted island, taking a break to paddle around before returning, which wrapped up the morning session. The second round was tough physically, so it was just right.

For lunch after stand-up paddleboarding, there were several dining options available, and the pizza from a place just next door was incredibly delicious. I would love to go back.

In the afternoon, we had the freedom to choose activities like snorkeling in Kailua or strolling around the town, which allowed me to adjust to my own pace, so that was great.

I would like to use this service again for activities in Kailua next time.

地区の事情で、浜辺で実際にやりながらのレッスンは受けられず、サーフショップでのレッスンをうけ浜辺へは自力で行きました。めちゃくちゃ不安でしたが、波打ち際ではちゃんと案内人がい手助けしてくれたので無事に沖にでれました。

それからは、めちゃくちゃ楽しくて無人島まて行き、休憩がてらブラフラして帰ってくるコースで午前は終了しました。体力的に2週目はキツかったので、ちょうど良かったです。

Sup後の食事は用意されているご飯処がいくつかあり、ピザ数件隣のピザがめちゃくちゃ美味しかったです。また行きたいくらい。

午後はカイルアでシュノーケリングやカイルアの街を散歩等自由に選ばせてもらえたのたので、自分の状態に合わせられたので、良かったです。

Even beginners can enjoy it. 初心者でも楽しめました

Reviewed by: KI・RA・TO

After checking in, I was lent a rash guard and received a brief lecture on the beach about my position on the board, how to stand up, and how to use the paddle, before heading straight into the ocean for practice. At first, I was a bit stiff and hesitant to stand up from my knees due to fear, but once I managed to stand, it wasn't as scary anymore. However, when the board rocked with the waves, I braced my feet and lost my balance, falling into the sea! In a panic, I clung to the board and somehow managed to get back on it, but I realized I had let go of the paddle, which was floating about 2 meters away from me.

I was so far away from the instructor and my family that I couldn't even hear them, and I was at a loss without being able to retrieve the paddle. Fortunately, a photographer (who was also on a board and taking pictures nearby) noticed my situation and came back to help me get the paddle, which saved the day. Thank you very much!

When the board rocked with the waves, I learned to keep my knees soft instead of bracing my feet, allowing my whole body to absorb the movement, which helped me avoid falling.

I spent about an hour and a half going back and forth in a relatively calm area from in front of the Royal Hawaiian to near the Moana Surfrider, and just as I was starting to have fun, it was time to finish. For my first experience, it was quite enjoyable. The instructor spoke only in English.

受付後ラッシュガードを貸してもらい、砂浜で簡単なレクチャー(ボードの上の立ち位置、立ち上がり方、パドルの使い方)を受けた後、すぐに海へ入り実践です。最初は恐怖心から膝立ちから立ち上がるまでがぎこちなかったのですが、一度立ち上がってしまえばそれほど怖くなくなります。しかし波でボードが揺れる際に足を踏ん張ってしまったため、体のバランスを崩し海へ落下!無我夢中でボードにしがみつき、なんとかボードの上に上がることが出来ましたが、気が付くとパドルを手放してしまっていて、2Mほど離れたところで浮いているではありませんか。
インストラクターと家族とは声も届かないくらい離れてしまっていて、パドルを取ることも出来ないまま、途方に暮れていましたら、カメラマンの方(自身もボードに乗り近くで写真を撮ってくれる方)がその様子に気づいて、パドルを取りにそばまで戻ってきてくださり、事なきを得ました。ありがとうございました。
ボードが波で揺れた時は、足を踏ん張らずに膝を柔らかくして、身体全体で揺れを吸収するようにしましたら、落ちることも無くなりました。
1時間半ほどロイヤルハワイアンの前から隣のモアナサーフライダーの前の辺りまでの、割と穏やかな場所を何周かして、ようやく楽しくなってきたころに終了。初めてにしては十分楽しく事が出来ました。
インストラクターの方は英語のみでした。

I had so much fun!! とーーーっても楽しかった!!

Reviewed by: meria

I participated with a friend!

It was both of our first times surfing, and we were excited and nervous. The instructor didn't speak Japanese, which made me even more anxious about whether we would understand, but they taught us in slow and gentle English, so we were able to grasp everything.

We practiced on the beach and then headed into the ocean!

The instructor pushed us hard when the waves were good, and I was able to stand on the board and ride the wave on my first try! It was just exhilarating!

After that, the instructor sent us out alternately, which made me feel very secure.

Riding the waves was of course fun, but just floating on the board while waiting for our turns and the waves with my friend felt amazing!

An hour flew by, but by the end, my arms were at their limit, so one hour was just right for beginners.

One thing I definitely recommend is to use sunscreen!!! I don’t usually burn easily, so I didn’t apply much, but since we were lying face down in the water the whole time, my calves and the backs of my thighs got really burned! If you don’t want to get too much sun, please apply sunscreen generously on the back side.

I would love to participate again if I have the chance.

友達と2人で参加させて頂きました!

2人ともサーフィンをするのは初めてで、ワクワクドキドキ。。
先生は日本語を話せない方だったのでちゃんと分かるのか更にドキドキしましたが
英語がたいして分からない私達でも分かるように、ゆっくりと優しい英語で教えて頂けたのでちゃんと理解することが出来ました。

始めビーチで練習をしていざ海へ!!

先生が良い波の時におもいっきり押してくれるので、1回目でボードの上に立ち波に乗ることが出来ました!!
そりゃもう爽快のひと言!!!

その後も友達と交互に先生が送り出してくれるのでとても安心感がありました。

波に乗ってる時ももちろん面白かったのですが、
友達との順番待ちと波待ちの為にボードの上でプカプカ浮いて居るだけで最高に気持ち良かったです!!

あっという間の1時間
しかし、終わる頃には腕に限界がきていたので初心者には1時間がとてもちょうど良かったです。


ひとつ絶対にした方が良いと思うのは、とにかく日焼けどめです!!!
私はあまり日焼けに抵抗が無いので、そんなに塗っていなかったのですが、
なにせずっとうつ伏せで海に浮かんで居るわけですから、ふくらはぎ、太ももの裏側がものすごーーく焼けます!!
あまり焼けたく無いという方はこれでもかって言うくらい、裏側に日焼け止めを塗って下さい。


また機会があったら参加したいです。

Awesome!!!

Reviewed by: Lisa

I so so so recommend the Surf Bus!! It was one of the best ways to see and experience North Shore! The driver was the best! He have great information and was so funny!! The paddle board was amazing, waterfall beautiful and the beach with snorkeling just awesome!! I recommend wearing water shoes as the rocks can be a little hard on your feet...(waterfall and snorkeling areas) Hands down best your we took!

Surprisingly easy! It's soothing. 意外と簡単!癒されます

Reviewed by: moco

I experienced this with my sister.

◎ Good points
- Many staff members speak Japanese
- I had never surfed before, but it was surprisingly easy to ride
- The ocean is incredibly beautiful
- I saw sea turtles!
- The lunch (PIZZA) was really delicious
- They took photos of us on the water and sent them all via email

◎ Bad points
- The locker room is small, very cold, and co-ed
- You have to carry the surfboard to the ocean yourself
(Moreover, after being guided initially, no one came with us, so we got lost!!!)
- There was little free time in the afternoon
- They dropped us off at the hotel on the way back, but the pickup was at a nearby hotel

Although I mentioned some bad points, overall it was really great!
I'm not sure if the price is cheap for what you get...
But I didn't have the impression that it was expensive.

I was worried because I'm not very good at swimming, but I didn't fall into the ocean, and I felt the waves and enjoyed the scenery on the board... it was very soothing!

Kailua is a popular spot among locals, so I'm really glad I went.
The ocean in Waikiki is also incredibly impressive, but this was even more beautiful and moving!!!

姉と2人で体験しました。

◎良かった点
・日本語が話せるスタッフが多い
・サーフィンやったことなかったが、意外と簡単に乗れた
・海がとにかくキレイ
・ウミガメが見れた!
・ランチ(PIZZA)がすごく美味しい
・海の上で写真を撮ってくれ、E-mailで全部送ってくれた

◎悪かった点
・ロッカールームが狭い、すごく寒い、男女共同
・海まで自分でサーフボードを運ぶ
 (しかも最初に道案内されただけで誰も付き添いにきてくれないため
  道に迷いました!!!)
・午後の自由時間が少ない
・帰りはホテルで降ろしてくれたが、ピックアップは近くのホテル集合だった

悪かった点も挙げてますが、総合的にすごく良かったです!
お値段がこれで安いのかどうかは分かりませんが・・・。
高かった印象は残りませんでした。

泳ぎがあまり得意ではないので心配してましたが、
海に落ちることもなく、ボードの上で波を感じて景色を見て・・・とても癒されました!

カイルアは現地の人にも人気のスポットなので、行けて本当に良かったです。
ワイキキの海でもすっごく感動しますが
それ以上にキレイで感激しました!!!

  • カイルアの透き通った海!

ワイキキビーチ SUP 1時間プライベートレッスン <ロイヤルハワイアンホテル>

The conversation was different. 話が違った。

Reviewed by: スズキ

I experienced stand-up paddleboarding. First, I was worried about the explanation in English, but a Japanese staff member kindly explained everything to me. The instructor was a foreigner who was cheerful and nice, but there was hardly any guidance once we got out on the water, so I had to rely on my memory of the initial instructions to manage on my own. However, I was able to stand up relatively easily and enjoyed it.

There were a few disappointing things, though. When I returned to the reception after the lesson, the instructor handed me a towel, but the Japanese woman at the reception told me that only Royal Hawaiian guests could use the towels and took it away from me. I was charged $50 plus tax even though it was supposed to include photos. Since I thought there would be photos included, I hadn’t prepared my own camera, so I had no choice but to purchase the photos. The lesson itself was a lot of fun, so it was unfortunate. Later, VELTRA refunded me for the photo fee.

スタンドアップパドルを体験しました。
まず、英語での説明に不安があったので日本人のスタッフが丁寧に説寧してくれました。
インストラクターは外国人の方で明るくていい人でしたが、海に出てからの指導がほとんどなかったので最初の説明を思い出しながら自力でなんとかするって感じでした。
でも割とすんなりと立つことができ楽しめました。
ただ残念なことがいくつかありました。
レッスンが終わって受付に戻った際、インストラクターがタオルを渡してくれたので持っていると受付の日本人女性にロイヤルハワイアンの宿泊者のみがタオルを使えるんです!と言われ取り上げられました。
写真つきとなっていたのに50ドル+税を請求されたこと。
写真つきだと思っていたので自分たちのカメラを用意していなかったため写真を購入するしかなかったこと。
レッスン自体はすごく楽しかったので、残念でした。
後日、VELTRAさんが写真代を返金してくれました。

Wow! what an entertainer Harry was & related so well to us being Aussies & accustomed to the surfing fraternity. We're recently retired & I was on crutches after an operation & nothing was too much trouble. He made special trip in between activities to come & pick me up from Waimea Falls to save me walking. We couldn't praise him enough. Go Harry!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for a wonderful insight into life on the North Shore of Oahu.

My children, aged 12 and 8, participated in private surfing lessons. Even without being able to speak English, they were able to enjoy the lessons and had a great time surfing. It was their first time surfing, but the waves in Waikiki are definitely recommended for beginners! They were able to ride the waves right away! Thanks to this, we were very satisfied! My kids have come to love surfing!

Good Time. Had a wonderful day. The tour guide was friendly and provided a lot of interesting facts and trivia about Oahu on the drive up, as well as the trip back. Once at the North Shore the choice activities and the loosely organized agenda made for an enjoyable day. Would definitely recommend. Great value.

The best way to see the North Shore

Reviewed by: Gerry

We were looking for a tour to see the North Shore but have the freedom to do what we want to do....we couldn't have picked a better tour. This is the perfect tour for people looking for freedom to do/go where they want. We had Sam as our tour guide, a native from Hawaii. He was informative and very the perfect style of guide for this tour. Knew what he was talking about, laid back but still detail oriented enough to handle everyone's activities and where they were. We went there the day of the Volcom Pipe Pro at the Pipeline. We rented bikes at the North Shore Surf Shop (an included activity with the tour - no extra charge) and that allowed us to go freely around. We rode up to the surf competition to watch live. The nice part was with the bikes, you were stuck in one spot the whole time. Watched the competition, then rode down the coast to Sharks Cove and Waimea Bay. It was great to have no schedule or "planned activities" when we got there. We had 3 hours to do what we want. Some wanted nothing to do with the surf competition and they could do what they want. Everyone had their own agenda and this tour worked great with it. (For a quick bite to eat, hit up Pupukea Grill. Its a food truck in Sharks Cove with a heavenly flatbread.) Met back next to Sharks Cove for the bus and rode to Haleiwa for the afternoon. Again, free time through the town to experience the city itself or do water activities at Surf N Sea. We wanted to experience the town, so we went into the surf shops, stores and walked around the town itself. (For a great sandwich, hit up Waialua Bakery and Juice Bar next to the grocery store...phenomenal.) For being a smaller town, Haleiwa is a very cool town to experience. After the town, we were to a beach to view the sea turtles that come on shore. It was amazing to see the turtles that close.

The paddleboarding and the beautiful sea were great! パドルと綺麗な海良かったです!

Reviewed by: aya

I travel to Hawaii every year, and usually, bodyboarding is my main activity. This time, I wanted to try paddleboarding, which has been gaining popularity in Japan recently. Unlike regular surfing, it was refreshing and interesting not being able to change the direction of the board with my gaze! I definitely want to participate again next year! The staff member Mieko was friendly and it was really fun! Many of the staff members spoke Japanese better than native speakers, providing attentive service and engaging conversations that made me feel comfortable! Thank you very much.

ハワイは毎年旅行で行ってますが、いつもはボディーボードがメインで、今回は最近日本で流行りつつあるパドルがやってみたくて参加しました。普段の波乗りと違って、目線で板の方向転換が出来ないのが新鮮で面白かったです!
来年も是非参加したいです!
スタッフのみえこさん気さくですごく楽しかったです!
日本語が日本人より上手なスタッフさんが多く細やかなサービスと飽きさせないトークで居心地良かったです!
ありがとうございました。
