We really enjoyed this activity. We had six people in our party, but the waves were big on our day, so they split us up into two groups. Captain Russell was amazing. He spent a few minutes with us on the beach before the outing to set our expectations. Then, we went out on the water. He was really patient with us and made sure we had good rides. It was a great experience in a really wonderful setting.

So much fun! Our family loved this adventure. Then crew was great and we caught at least 6 waves!
Aloha, Diana! Mahalo for your generous 5 star rating! Glad that you have mentioned that you caught 6 waves. It is a benefit of "Canoe Charter" for one-hour instead of signing up for "Canoe Surfing" which guarantees 3 waves and it may take anywhere from 15 minutes to 30 minutes, depending on the condition. We strongly recommend that all guests would sign up for the "Charter" as you did. Thank you again!

On our first day in Waikiki we started off with a thrill at Outrigger Canoe Surfing! The experience was fantastic from start to finish. Russell was the captain and he and his crew were phenomenal and with their encouragement we powered through the surf and set up for three exhilarating rides over the breaking waves. It felt as though we were surfing. I would recommend this again in a heartbeat.

We sincerely enjoyed our time on the ocean with the outrigger captain and first mate! One of the four of us was very hesitant to be in the ocean and freaked out about the possibility of flipping. These guys were excellent from the very beginning in explaining the paddling method, the proper way to enter and exit the canoe, and why it was totally safe!
Once we got out on the water we were able to catch five waves and enjoyed every single ride!
Thank you for such a joyous time!

A truely unique Hawaiian experience right on Waikiki beach. The team where wonderful and helped us paddle out thru the breaks and land the perfect waves to return to shore. Riding the waves back into shore you get an amazing view of the Waikiki shoreline and Diamond head from a different perspective. We had so much fun and looking forward to doing it again on our next trip.

Paddling is such an amazing Hawaiian tradition; these guys made it a blast. My family hasn't paddled before and it had been 20 years for me. They took us out in Waikiki and we caught some swells and rode the waves in. The photographers associated with canoeing took great shots and captured everyone smiling. I absolutely recommend this excursion for anyone traveling to Oahu.

We participated with two elementary school students and two adults, a total of four people. Our reservation was for 1 PM, but we had to wait about 40 minutes for the previous canoe to return. However, the staff member who spoke Japanese at the reception said, "You can wait in the pool at the Royal Hawaiian," so we were lucky to wait while playing in the pool, keeping the kids entertained.
We experienced the canoe with three families from the West and our group of four. In addition to a friendly captain, one of the staff members who spoke Japanese joined us, which made us feel safe and allowed us to enjoy the experience. The kids just sat in the canoe without paddles. When I asked, "Can we take pictures while on the canoe?" they replied, "You can take pictures without paddles," so I also took pictures without a paddle and enjoyed canoe surfing to my heart's content. Although we were told we could ride the waves twice, we were lucky enough to ride three times, which left us very satisfied.
We had a fantastic time at a reasonable price, and the whole family enjoyed it. I highly recommend it!
小学生2人と大人2人の4人で参加しました。
13時~の予約でしたが、前の回のカヌーが戻ってくるのを待っていて40分ほど待ち時間があったとおもいます。
しかし受付の日本語のできるスタッフの方が「(ロイヤルハワイアンの)プールに入って待ってていいよ」とのことでしたので、プールで遊びながら待っていたので子供達も飽きずに待ててラッキーでした。
カヌーは、欧米のファミリー三人と私たち四人が一緒に体験しました。感じの良いキャプテンの他に、先程の日本語のできるスタッフの一人も入ってくれて安心して楽しめました。
子供はオールは持たずに乗るだけ。 「カヌーに乗って写真を撮っても良いか?」と聞いたら、「オールなしなら写真撮れるよ」とのことだったので、私もオールはなしで 思う存分写真を撮りながらカヌーサーフィンを体験させていただきました。
波に乗れるのは2回とのことでしたが、またまたラッキーな事に3回も乗らせて頂き大満足です。
手頃な値段で、家族みんなが楽しめて最高の時間が過ごせました。
おすすめです!

I participated with my 5-year-old daughter and my partner. It started without much explanation, and we paddled out, enjoying the waves alongside surfers. After it ended, I was asked if I saw any photos, but there wasn't anyone taking pictures, so I wondered if they had taken some without us knowing. In the end, no photos were taken. I wonder if they would take pictures if requested, although it might be an additional charge. We don't have any photos of us on the canoe, and while it remains a nice memory, I think it would have been great to have some, especially since we were with a child.
5歳の娘と親子3人で参加しました。
特に説明もなく始まり、パドルをもって漕ぎ出し、サーファーと一緒に気持ち良く波乗りを楽しみました。
終了後、写真見ました?と言われましたが、特に撮影している人もいなかったですし、どこかで知らない間に撮ってたのか?とも思いましたが、結局撮っていませんでした。
写真を希望すれば、撮ってくださるのかな?別料金でしょうけど。
カヌーに乗った写真はなく、思い出に残っていますが、子連れでしたし、あったら良かったなと思いました。

I also enjoyed the sensation of being slammed down onto the water's surface when hitting larger waves.
Even for those who can't surf, it was a refreshing experience that allowed me to understand the feelings of surfers!

Dear Koji,
Thank you very much for your five-star review! You are absolutely right. Outrigger canoe "surfing" is indeed riding the waves while on a canoe. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it! Outrigger canoeing is a stable and very safe activity, so even those who cannot swim and customers of various ages can enjoy it! We look forward to your next visit! Please consider using our one-hour charter next time! With the charter (charged by the hour), you can ride the waves multiple times within the reserved time, and participants can switch places during the ride. Additionally, with the charter, you can reserve two canoes together, making it suitable for team-building events as well.
We look forward to your next visit!

I was imagining a leisurely canoe ride with everyone paddling together, but in reality, we paddled out to the open sea and waited for the waves, riding them back to the shore like surfing. The intense splashes of water and the sense of speed made it quite exhilarating. We rode about four waves, and each wave was relatively long, requiring a good amount of energy to paddle, so I was very satisfied with the number of rides. Only four people held paddles, but a total of six people, four men and two women, were able to join in.
It was so much fun, so I highly recommend it for groups!
ただみんなで漕いでお散歩するカヌーを想像していましたが、実際は沖まで漕いで波を待ち、サーフィンのように一気に浜に向かって波乗りで帰ってきます。激しい水しぶきとスピード感でかなり盛り上がりました。4本くらい波乗りしましたが、1本の波乗り距離も比較的長く、漕ぐのに体力も使うので、本数的にも十分満足しました。パドルを持つのは4人のみですが、男性4人女性2人の計6人で同乗できました。
とても楽しかったのでグループにはおすすめです!
