Kailua & Lanikai Beach Stand Up Paddle (SUP) Lessons and Self-Guided Tours

Stand Up Paddling

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

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.

Waikiki Stand Up Paddleboard Lesson & Guided Tour at Ala Moana Beach Park

Stand Up Paddling

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

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.

Kailua Bay 2-Hour Guided Kayaking Tour with Lunch - Explore Tide Pools & More!

4 hour guided tour

Reviewed by: Annetta Mooney

We were first timers kayaking and while the 2.5 miles we paddled to our destination was physically challenging the destination and overall experience was well worth it. Our guides, Sheila and Alex were great. Sheila has alot of experience and education and was very informative throughout the tour. We would do this again!!! Magnificent and beautiful.

Hans Hedemann Waikiki Surfing Lessons - Honolulu's Best Surf School

Incredible!

Reviewed by: MinnesotaMike

My six year old daughter surfed! We all did! We all got up and we have the videotape to prove it! This was our first activity on our first day and it set a trend of quality that stayed throughout our trip. These surfers are great teachers, assistants, advisors, helpers, and just plain nice.

I can't recommend anywhere more than this school.

Honolulu X-Treme Parasailing Tour Adventure [700ft, 850ft, 1000ft or 1200ft Rides]

Lots of fun, but not long enough!

Reviewed by: OahuFamilyTrip

This was a great time for us, BUT the rides are not even CLOSE to the times they advertise. I would not waste your money upgrading to any of the other rides. I timed all three of my wife's and kids rides and they were actually less than 5 minutes from the time they left the back deck til they touched down again. No where near the 10-12 minutes advertised for the Deluxe Ride. They probably did go a little higher than they 850 ride, but the duration was exactly the same.

The ride is great, the people were nice, but the trip is not as advertised.

I am afraid of heights but my sister convinced me to go with her. I can honestly say I will not do it again but a girl has to try everything once! The staff was very professional and knew what they were doing. Safety is important to them. Definitely a must do for all, even those scaredy cats like me!

Surfing For Everyone

Reviewed by: Ron Gurtiza

All the instructors made us feel comfortable and made sure we had fun and guaranteed we would all stand up. I signed up for the 2 hour class. The waves were knee to waist high and be prepared to do a lot of paddling. Everyone in my group stood up on the board. We all started posing for the camera while surfing. Very fun for all age groups. A school of dolphins showed up and jumping along with us. PERFECT DAY!!!!

Amazing!!! 最高!!!

Reviewed by: M&K

I participated with my daughter.
Initially, we considered just observing, but I'm glad we decided to experience it!
I felt a bit anxious before flying, but once we were up, it was truly the best feeling.
We were lucky with the weather on the day we participated, and we even got to see whales.
The standard option we chose had a flight time of 9 to 11 minutes, which was plenty of time to enjoy.
We tipped $5 on the way back.
I think tipping is essential even for optional activities abroad.
The view from above is so wonderful that words can't express it, so please try to experience the feeling of being a bird at least once!

娘と二人で参加しました。
当初は見学も考えましたが、体験してよかったです☆
飛ぶまでは少し不安もありましたが、上がってしまえば本当に最高の気分です^^
参加した日はお天気にも恵まれ、クジラも見ることができました。
私達の選んだスタンダードは、フライトが9~11分とありましたが、十分楽しめる時間でした。
帰りにチップは5ドル払いました。
オプションの参加でも外国ではチップは必須かなと思います。
空から見た景色は、口では表現できないくらい素晴らしいので一度、鳥の気分を味わってみて下さい^^

I had so much fun learning to surf. The instructor, Sean, was the best! Very good teacher. I would recommend a lesson early in the day though because the photographer doesn't like to take photos during the 3:00 session due to the sun. My best ride was the last one and he had left already.

Extreme parasailing is the best!! エキストリームパラセイル最高!!

Reviewed by: エリザベス

I experienced 150.
The view of the Hawaiian sea from such a high position was amazing!
I love heights, and it was very exciting with a thrill that you can't experience anywhere else. I think the experience lasted about 15 minutes, so I was able to fully enjoy it!
I believe this is quite a good deal for the price.
They do ask for a tip on the way back, but they say it in a casual manner, so I didn't feel uncomfortable giving it.
Above all, since it's such a good deal, I didn't mind the tip amount.
You can enjoy yourself sufficiently from the boat even before reaching the middle of the sea.
Definitely give it a try! 🎶

私は150を体験しました。
すごく高い位置からみるハワイの海は最高でした!
高いところが好きな私ですがとてもエキサイティングで
他には体験出来ないスリルがあり体験時間も15分くらい
あった様に思いますので、思う存分満喫できました!
これでこの値段はかんりお得だと思います。
帰り際にチップを要求されますが、フランクに
言われるので嫌な気分もせず渡しました。
なによりお得なのでチップの値段も気なりません。
海の真ん中に行くまでもボートの上から充分に
楽しめます。
是非お試しを~♫

Great Experience! I have skydived before so I wasn't worried, but my husband was apprehensive to go up that high. He had a great time! The staff was great, everyone on the boat enjoyed it. Waikiki beach looked awesome from that high up, and we even had a whale sighting! There are so many companies to choose from, I am glad we choose this one.

Great Fun

Reviewed by: Iowa Couple

We had always wanted to try parasailing. It was fantastic. We were so high in the air that the people on the boat looked like ants. It was a great way to see the island from the air. We were laughing and having a blast. The transition on and off the boat was very smooth. They took pictures for us and only charged $15 and gave us the roll of film to develop. The shark cage tour wanted $60 for the video so we bought the pictures from this tour.

Overall my sister and I had a good time.

I was very disappointed with the cost of the photos. Even when the instructor tried to barter with me and cut the cost in half, it was still an outrageous price for a Cd that cost pennies to produce. If they were actual photos the price is still rediculous.

Great!

Reviewed by: Elisa

My husband and I did this our first day and I was a little nervous about it, but once you get up in the air its so cool! I didn't know just how bad my husband was afraid of heights cause he got pretty scared, but you're attached to a parachute! I felt bad for dragging him up there with me, but I really loved it - a once in a lifetime thing, so why not do it while you're in Hawaii? I also read some other comments about how there was pressure to tip, but I didn't feel that way, yeah, there were 20's taped to the boat and they did ask that we "take care of them" but I thought it was only proper to tip so I gave them 10 bucks for the both of us. Don't let something like that ruin, or keep you from trying this. It was Awesome! FYI: bring a waterproof disposable camera up with you for some great shots!

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

Fun Time on Surf Bus

Reviewed by: Sandy

We had a great time on this tour. The group was small, so the guide could be flexible and give individual attention to each participant. There was a range of activities so you could choose how active you wanted to be. We did the Wailea Falls hike and stand-up paddling. We had lunch at the cafe at Wailea Falls, very good Hawaiian-style food. We were glad we paid the extra for an instructor on the paddling as it was challenging. I would only recommend doing it on your own if you are experienced. I highly recommend this tour if you are interested in learning more about the North Shore.

4 Hour Guided Tour

Reviewed by: Mike E.

We opted for the 4 hour guided tour. Our guide Sheila was fun and extremely knowledgeable. She gave us history, marine biology, and geology lessons as we kayaked out to one of the off shore islands and while exploring the island. The folks on the 2 hour tour were there as long as we were, but they spent less time kayaking and did not visit the island we did - I highly recommend opting for the 4 hour tour. You'll get a lot more kayak time and a much more interesting island to visit.
