Fun day worth trying

Ty_B, Jul 2025

Our instructor Jaye did a great job of taking care of us and made the experience fun. Just one word of caution for older people wanting to try paddle boarding, it is pretty strenuous and if you have bad knees it may be challenging. Also we didn’t get any water or snack offered so you may want to not plan on that

Perfect way to start the day!

Wonderful experience! Our guide, Niko was so helpful and accommodating! He made us feel at ease and let us go at our own pace. He was also very knowledgeable about the area and even gave us some fantastic recommendations on local eateries! We would definitely recommend!!!

Beautiful beach and...

Beautiful beach and water. Nice instructor. Fun, but a bit more strenuous than I thought it would be.

Response from Host, Jun 2022

Aloha - These tours are designed for guests who do not do this on a regular basis. We leave it to the guests to assess their skillet / health level. This particular tour is the basic intro type tour and guides will keep an eye on guests as we progress though the tour.

FUN! FUN! FUN!

We had a blast trying paddle boarding for the first time. I would highly recommend using this company when you visit Hawaii. Very professional and made us feel safe. Mahalo!
