All Reviews for Stand Up Paddle Rental & Lessons

Walking along the coast is quite pleasant, and it would have been even better if the weather had been nice. The horses were also very well-behaved.

海沿いを歩くのは結構気持ちの良いもので、天気が良ければもっと良かったです。お馬さんもお利口さんでした。

It was great that there was no time needed for travel since it was held at Waikiki Beach. Also, it was nice to receive the photo data after the lesson.

ワイキキビーチで行うため、移動に要する時間が無いことが良かったです。また、レッスン終了後に写真データを貰えることも良かったです。

My father participated alone. At 76 years old, he was quite advanced in age, but the staff's response was wonderful, and they were kind and attentive. When he returned, he seemed very happy and said he had a great time. Although he appeared quite tired due to his age, he seemed satisfied and enjoyed himself.

父が一人で参加しました。
今年76歳の父は、かなりの年齢でしたが、スタッフの方の対応も素晴らしく、また、親切丁寧で、帰ってきたときにとても、楽しかったらしく喜んでました。
年齢的には、とても疲れたようでしたが、楽しかったようで満足しました。

The wind was very strong on the day, so the staff suggested, "Stand-up paddleboarding can be quite difficult because the wind hits your body directly, so surfing might be more enjoyable. What do you think?"

To be honest, I was interested in surfing, but I never thought I would be able to stand on the waves, as I had signed up for stand-up paddleboarding. I appreciated their consideration and decided to challenge myself with surfing for the first time in my life!

First, I received a brief lesson on basic movements on the water at Waikiki Beach, and then it was time to head into the ocean. They taught us in Japanese, saying things like, "Paddle (with your hands)~" and "Stand up~!" which helped me stand nicely on the waves♪

A fellow participant who was surfing for the second time mentioned, "The waves in Waikiki are gentle, so they're easy for beginners to ride." I also never expected to be able to ride the waves so quickly, so I think the staff's teaching skills are excellent! (*＾-＾*)

After all, when you come to Hawaii, you have to enjoy the ocean too, right?♪♪ It's a very easy experience to enjoy surfing since it's within walking distance from the Waikiki Hotel, and there's no need to move the surfboards☆

I highly recommend it! (*＾＾*)

当日の風がとても強かったので、スタッフの方から「スタンドアップパドルはもろに身体に風が当たってやりにくいので、サーフィンの方が楽しめますけどどうしますか？」と提案されました。
実のところ、サーフィンに興味がありましたがまさか波の上に立てるとは思っておらず、スタンドアップパドルを申し込んでいた私。。。
ご配慮に感謝し、人生初！のサーフィンに挑戦しました！！
最初にワイキキのビーチで簡単な水の上での動作レクチャーを受け、いざ海の中へ☆
日本語で、「漕いで（手で）~」とか「立って~！」とか教えてくれるので、波の上でもいい感じで立つことができました♪♪
一緒に参加した、サーフィン2回目の方が「ワイキキの波は穏やかなので、初心者の方には乗りやすい」と言われていました。
私もまさか！すぐに波の上に乗れるとは思っていなかったので、スタッフの方のティーチングの上手さは素晴らしい！と思っています(*＾-＾*)
やっぱり、ハワイに来たら海の中も満喫しなきゃですよね~♪♪
ワイキキホテルから徒歩で訪れ、サーフボードの移動もないのでとっても楽にサーフィンが楽しめる体験だと思います☆
お勧めします(*＾＾*)

It was a somewhat cloudy morning, but since we had canoe surfing at 10 AM, there were only a few people on the beach and in the water. We all pushed the heavy canoe surfing onto the sand and then floated it in the sea, after which we started paddling in sync with the person in front of us.

Even when some slightly high waves came, we paddled at a right angle to the waves and made our way out to sea.

While we were out there, we could enjoy a 360-degree view of Waikiki while paddling with our paddles!!

When a slightly higher wave came, we pointed the bow towards the beach. To ride the wave like surfing, we paddled with all our might. And then...

We really glided on the wave, with The Royal Hawaiian ahead of us. To our right was Diamond Head, and to our left was the Halekulani Hotel, among others. I felt so happy as I finished my first wave ride.

After finishing the second wave in the same way, I was surprised that it was already over.

It did say at least two rides, but we had only been doing the activity for 15 minutes!!! I ended it feeling a bit sad.

This activity is great for families and couples. If it's a group of women, the beach boys might be happy to join in?! They might make the wave riding even more enjoyable.

I highly recommend this activity!!!

雲が少々多い朝でしたが、１０時からのカヌーサーフィンだったので、ビーチにも、海にも人はまばら。
重いカヌーサーフィンを皆で砂の上を押し、海に浮かべ、その後、前の人に合わせ漕ぎ始めます。
途中少々高い波がきても波に対して直角に漕ぎ、ある程度沖にでます。

沖に出ているあいだ、パドルで漕ぎながらも３６０度ワイキキの眺めを堪能できます！！

少し高めの波がきたところで船首をビーチ側へ。
サーフィンと同じ容量で波に乗るため、あるったけの力をふりしぼり漕ぎます。そうすると・・・。


本当に滑るように波に乗り、前方にThe Royal Hawaiian。
右手にはダイアモンドヘッド。左手にはハレクラニホテルなどなどなど。
とても幸せな気分で１回目の波乗り終了。

２回目も同様に乗り終わったところで、な・なんと、終了してしまいました。

確かに最低２回と書いてあったけど。まだ、アクティビティを始めて１５分しか経ってない！！！
ちょっと、悲しい気持ちで終了してしまいました。

このアクティビティは、家族もよし、カップルもよし。
女性同士だったらビーチボーイも喜んで？！
もっと波乗りを楽しませてくれるかもしれません。

おすすめのアクティビティです！！！

The canoe is stable, making it easy to head out to sea and enjoy a pleasant surfing experience. I recommend it for couples and families.

安定感があるカヌーで、簡単に沖に出て、気持ちよくサーフィンが体験できました。カップル、ファミリーにお薦め。

Great time, great guide, lots to see and a ton of information!

I chose to go to the Waimea Falls and Botanical Garden and on the Kayak ride...also got to lay around on Waimea Beach and jump off the rock! I had a total blast. The driver/guide was knowledgable and friendly and made sure we all had a great time. I would recommend this to anyone.

On July 30, I participated in the "Stand-Up Paddle Beginner Plan." On the day of the event, I arrived at the meeting point by the poolside of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel at 9:30. After checking in, I waited until the lesson started at 10:00. The staff provided some instructions, and the lesson began. It was my first experience with stand-up paddle surfing, and we started with a simulation on land before finally heading into the ocean. I was nervous at first, but gradually got used to it and was able to stand up and paddle. It was an hour-long lesson that flew by.

7/30「スタンドアップパドル初心者プラン」に参加しました。当日は9：30に集合場所のロイヤルハワイアンホテルのプールサイドに行きました。受付後、10：00時のレッスン開始までスタンバイ。スタッフの方から注意を受けレッスンが始りました。初めて経験する「スタンドアップパドルサーフィン」ですが陸上でシュミレーションを行いいよいよ海に入ります。最初は緊張していましたが、徐々に慣れてスタンドアップ＆パドリングすることができました。あっという間の１時間レッスンでした。

I participated with my husband. It was my first time, but the staff were very kind and taught us well, which made me feel at ease. It seems that the plan was to practice in a nearby river first and then head to the beach once we got used to it, but unfortunately, on the day we participated, we couldn't go to the beautiful beach in Kailua due to strong winds. However, the river was fun, and we had a course where we went upstream and then came back down. While enjoying the scenery around us, the staff provided guided explanations, making it feel like an adventure, and it was really enjoyable. I would like to participate again.

主人と参加しました。
初めてでしたがスタッフの方が丁寧に教えてくれるので安心。
最初は近くの川で練習して慣れてきたらビーチに出るという行程のようですが
参加日は残念ながら強風でカイルアのキレイなビーチには出られませんでした。
でも、川も楽しくて下流から上流に上りまた戻って来るコース。
周りの景色を楽しみながら　スタッフの方のガイド説明もあり冒険みたいな感じでとても楽しかったです。
また参加したいです。

I've been to Hawaii many times, but this was my first time surfing. The lesson was conducted in Japanese, and they provided advice on timing to catch the waves, so even as a beginner, I was able to ride the waves and had a lot of fun. The lesson lasted for one hour, which was just the right amount of time physically.

ハワイに何度も行っているが、はじめてのサーフィン。
レッスン内容は日本語で指導してくれて、波に乗るタイミングをアドバイスしてくれるので、はじめてだも波に乗ることができてとても楽しかったです。
レッスン時間が1時間でしたが、体力的にはちょうどいい時間でした。

First time on surf bus, me(45), niece(25), son(9), daughter(4). Only paid for 1 activity each because we didnt know the time schedule or what would work best. Pick up 8:15am. Nice tour of different beaches at north shore. Finally arrived at 1st activity spot at 10:30 me/daughter went to waimea beach, niece/son waimea falls and walked to us. Others did snorkeling. Picked up at 1pm. Next stop haleiwa where we got 1 paddle board and 1 double kayak. Son loved padded boarding by himself! We switched off and met back at 3. Others walked through town and ate. We did great with just one activity eac (2 waimea waterfall entrance, 1 paddle board, 1 kayak). Others did th snorkel then th paddle board the 2nd half. The falls walk was hot and long but my son still enjoyed. Beach was nice for me and my 4 year old to float in the calmer waves. Definitely enjoyed our trip! Nice ending was a couple days later I realized I had left my daughter's life jacket (brought a good one for my entir vaca

Not much of a tour. Driver OK - very little information given during ride, made a few recommendations. Driver dropped everyone off then went surfing for both the morning and afternoon sessions.
Other folks in group disappointed in the amount of walking, lack of bike helmets and places where the road had no bike trail.

I had a stand up paddle board lesson with Alison on 5/31. She brought along the correct sized board for me, something the rental places at Waikiki did not, and we had a great time. After a couple of minutes of getting used to the balance, I was off and running....err...paddling that is. It was a beautiful day, before and after the rain squall, and we saw numerous sea turtles swimming by us. Alison was fun, friendly, and easy to talk to and was an excellent instructor. I had the lesson my first day in Hawaii and it was so much fun, I did it every day I was there.

The second day I had a regular surfing lession with (Mollie, Matty? something like that, I forget now. But it was great fun also, I caught a few nice waves and she was really helpful....another great instructor. The learning curve for surfing is quite a bit higher than SUP, but I enjoyed it so much I'm taking another surfing lession this Sunday in cold water (wet suit) here in Washington state. It's true what they

My husband and I participated in stand-up paddleboarding in Kailua. Since I had experience with surfing, we signed up without a lesson. It was more stable than a longboard, and it was fun to paddle easily like a boat. We paddled to a nearby island twice and didn't fall off even once (the wind and waves were mild). I was really satisfied since even a beginner like me could enjoy it so much. I would love to do it again when I go back to Hawaii! Thank you!

主人と二人でカイルア　スタンドアップ・パドルに参加しました。サーフィンは経験していたので、レッスン無しで申し込みました。
ロングボードよりも安定していて、簡単にボートのように漕げて楽しかったです。近くの島にも2度漕いで行き、一度も落ちませんでした。（風や波も少なかったので）
初心者でもこんなに楽しめたので、すごく満足です。またハワイに行ったらリピートしたいです！
ありがとうございました。

This was a great acivity. We learned all about the island on the drive to the North Shore. Saw all the great surfing beaches, did some snorkeling and kyaking....a very fun day.

My father wanted to go, so my father, sister, and I participated together. The canoe could hold five or six people, but perhaps because it was early in the morning, we were the only participants, so two staff members joined us. After just a brief lesson on how to hold the paddle and how to row, we set off into the sea. We all paddled out to the open water and waited for the waves. The staff would let us know when a good wave was coming, and when we started paddling at their signal, we were able to ride the waves successfully. The canoe moved forward with great momentum, and surprisingly, we picked up quite a bit of speed, so we got pretty wet from the splashes (laughs). We rode the waves twice before finishing. They also took photos for us, and including that, it was about $30 per person, but I thought I would have been satisfied if we could have ridden the waves three times. Overall, I can say it was "fun!" and since it's an experience you can't really have elsewhere, I highly recommend it!

父が乗りたい！ということで父・姉・私の３人で参加しました。
カヌーは５、６人乗りでしたが、朝早かったためか参加者は私たち家族だけだったので、２人のスタッフが一緒に乗ってくれました。
パドルの持ち方と漕ぎ方をちょっと教わっただけですぐ海へ出発。沖まで全員で漕いで行き、波を待ちます。いい波がきたことをスタッフが教えてくれるので、その合図で漕ぎだすとうまく波に乗ることができました。カヌーは勢いよく進み、意外にスピードが出ていたので水しぶきがすごく、結構濡れました（笑）
波に２回乗って終了。写真も撮ってくれていてそれを含め、１人３０ドルくらいでしたが、できれば３回波に乗れれば満足かなーと思いました。ただやはり感想としては「楽しかった！」し、あまり他では経験できないのでおススメです！

Standing on a board on the water seemed absolutely impossible to me... or so I thought, but surprisingly, I managed to do it. When the wind blows, I become the sail myself... So, during strong winds, if I just stand there, I'll get swept away... In those moments, I sit down to avoid it.

After a simple explanation, I was pulled into the sea and before I knew it, I was standing on the board. Moreover, while sitting, I found myself riding the waves. When I paddle while riding the waves, I can change direction... I see now... This is how everyone gets hooked on this sport...

Feeling refreshed and gliding smoothly, I spotted a sea turtle within reach... What a lucky moment! And when I saw an old man standing on his board making a phone call out in the ocean, I felt like I had witnessed something just as precious as the sea turtle, and it excited me.

The convenience of being able to leave my hotel in Waikiki in my swimsuit and return in the same attire is the biggest charm. The CD I received has become a cherished memory, more valuable than any souvenir.

水の上のボードに立つなんて、絶対に無理！。。。と思っていたけど、意外といける。。。
風が吹くと立っている自分自身がセイルになるのだとか。。。だから、強風の時はぼ~~っと突っ立ってると流される。。。そんな時は座って回避。

カンタンな説明のあと引っ張られるままに海に入り、いつのまにかボードの上に立っていた。おまけに座ってだけど、いつの間にか波に乗っていた。波に乗りながらパドルを水に刺すと方向が変わる。。な~るほど。。。
こうやって皆このスポーツにハマっていくんだ。。。

気分爽快でスイスイ進んでいると手が届くかと思う距離にウミガメが。。。なんとラッキー
そして、沖でボードに立って電話をかけてたじいさんを見たとき、ウミガメと同じくらい貴重なものを見た気がしてワクワクした。

ワイキキのホテルから水着ででかけ、水着で帰ってこれるという手軽さが何より魅力。いただいたＣＤもお土産よりも大切な思い出になった。

Paddle surfing was really fun!
At first, I was worried about whether I could stand on the board, but when I cautiously stood up, it felt strange.

It was a bit wobbly and scary where the waves were, but once I got the hang of handling the paddle, it was truly enjoyable!

I want to participate again!

パドルサーフィン、ほんとに楽しかった☆
最初はボードの上に立てるか不安だったけど、恐る恐る立ち上がってみると、不思議な感じがしました。

波があるところはふらふらして怖かったけど、パドルの扱い方とかわかるとほんとに楽しかったです！

また参加したいです！！

Since I was a beginner in stand-up paddle surfing, I joined a tour with lessons. While the explanations were clear, there wasn't much to remember, so I thought it might have been better to study the technique on my own beforehand and join a tour without lessons. But it was fun!

スタンダップ･パドル・サーフィン初心者だったので、レッスン付きのツアーへ参加しました。
わかりやすく説明していただいたのは良いのですが、あまり覚える事は少ないので、これなら事前に独学でやり方を勉強し、レッスン無しのツアーへ参加した方が良かったかなと思いました。
でも楽しかったです。

We thought we could hike to the waterfall and then go snorkeling. From what I had read that would be a possibility. Both were morning options. He parked centrally then we walked to meet him. For the price I should not have expected to be taken to each destination I suppose, but I did. Still we had a good time and swimming in the waterfall was GREAT

I have been to the North Shore before and enjoyed this trip the most. We enjoyed the Waimia Falls park more due to the guides suggestions. he was very knowledgeable and interesting. I especially enjoyed the turtles. I would recommend it for the young and hardy or an old folk like me. Great fun!

Had a great time. Sam made the trip very enjoyable. Would highly recommend!

My husband and I took this tour recently while in Hawaii and it rocked! Our driver was Sam and he was great. Very knowledgable about Hawaii and offered some really interesting tidbits of info. He was laid back, friendly and very engaging. This tour is great because you have the freedom to choose your activities and even traveling in a group you are not forced to select the same options. You can add activities on site which was also a plus. We were dropped in each location for about two hours and were free to eat, wander and otherwise do as we chose. There was a lady in our group that was by herself and she really enjoyed herself as well. Hailewa town was cool to wander around in and my husband even had time to kayak there and join me at the shops. Free water and juice was also a nice bonus. I highly recommend this tour if you are headed to Oahu!

The Beach on the North Shore tour was beautiful, very clean, and a refreshing change from Waikiki Beach. The waves were much stronger and had great surfing beaches along the way for those interested in that. Really enjoyed watching folks on that diving rock there. The ride was long, but the driver was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable and relayed lots of information about Hawaii. The stroll through the small, older town with shops and eateries was unique. Loved the music provided by that musical family that lives there and entertains the tourists. A relief to see more enjoyable aspects of Oahu without the hassle of driving.

I have been to Oahu several times and this has been my favorite tour so far!

We did this "tour" on our second trip to Hawaii. It is a great opportunity to experience the North Shore on your own but still get the guided tour experience. This is a "tour" you could take multiple times and have a new experience every time. We loved the options and being able to choose our adventure once we got there.

We had a stand up paddling lesson, and then went out on a guided tour. The instructors do a really good job at making sure you are comfortable with what you are doing, before you go out into the water. The coastline was so beautiful as we paddled by it. Stand up paddling feels like you are walking on water and it is really a unique experience.

I had a great time learning how to stand up paddle surf. The instructors are really good at what they do, and they make sure that you are comfortable going out into the ocean. Stand up paddling is a really good workout, because you are paddling, as well as, keeping your balance. You are getting a workout, but you are having a lot of fun, which makes the time and exercise fly by.

We had a great time on this tour. The staff was great and it was a very laid back atmosphere. The weather even cooperated with us. We would defintely recommend it to others.
