Watersports & Ocean Adventures
Parasailing Tours
Strap into a harness, clip yourself to a tether, and float into the air as a speedboat tows your parachute along. Parasailing is a fun, exciting, and safe adventure that anyone can enjoy—no experience needed!—whether flying single or tandem with a friend or loved one. See the coastline of Waikiki or Hawaii Kai from up to 1,000 feet in the air! Expert captains and crews will make sure you're safe, comfortable, and having fun.
Surfing Lessons & Wave Pools
Learn to surf in the birthplace of surfing! These surfing lessons are simple, fun, and get you catching waves quickly. Whether you're in Waikiki, on the North Shore, or out west in Ko Olina, you'll be able to find surfing lessons at a beach near you. Kids are welcome and one-on-one instruction is available for those who want the extra attention. With instructors who are friendly, courteous, and encouraging, you'll find yourself hanging ten in no time!
Kayaking Tours & Canoe Paddling
Sea kayaking is the best way to visit the small islets located just off the coast of Oahu, such as Chinaman's Hat or the "Mokes." These kayaks are wider and more stable than watercraft made for river paddling, making them easier to use for beginners, even in tandem—just push off from the beach, get in, and paddle out to your heart's destination! Looking for something different? Try a glass-bottom kayak to get a good look at the local sea life, or paddle a Hawaiian-style outrigger canoe!
Stand Up Paddle Rental & Lessons
An incresingly popular water sport, stand-up paddling (SUP) is a fun and easy activity for beginners that's well-suited to couples, families, solo travelers, and groups of friends. Anyone can learn since the board is wider and more stable than a surfboard, making it easier to stand on, and movement mostly comes from paddling instead of catching waves, meaning you can SUP in both the ocean and in rivers! Take a quick SUP lesson then head out on the water to paddle by yourself!
Scuba Diving
Explore the underwater world of Oahu's sea life, swimming past vibrant coral reefs and playful schools of fish. Experienced divers can explore the depths of reefs and sunken ships. Introductory scuba dives are also available, complete with lessons for first-timers. Snuba is just like snorkeling, but attaches you to an air tank floating at the surface, allowing you to swim freely. For those who aren't strong swimmers, underwater scooter tours are a safe, fun, and easy way to visit the reefs.
Fishing Charters & Tours
Go fish on Oahu! A variety of fishing tours are available, including bottom fishing, sport fishing, shark hunts, and spear fishing. New fishermen and fisherwomen are always welcome at these exciting tours, but more leisurely light-tackle and fly fishing activities are also available. Charter a fishing boat for a private excursion, perfect for a family outing or for hanging out with a group of friends. These fishing tours can accommodate a many different people and groups.
