“Outstanding and Fun Outing”

Reviewed 29 May 2012 NEW

Our very first outrigger canoeing experience. Have been coming to Waikiki every couple of months for the past year and a half and have always watched the outriggers leave Waikiki and then surf back in to the beach. Always looked like fun. Then came a Living Social deal I couldn't pass up for 2 hour outrigger outing. Am super glad... More

“Best tour guide Ever!!”

Reviewed 27 May 2012 NEW

We went out with Randon on 5/15 in the double hull canoe. Prior to this trip I didn’t know the difference between the canoe with the arm and the one he made. I was very impressed that his is a replica of a canoe that the islanders would have used for travel and I was glad we didn’t end up... More

“double hull outrigger”

Reviewed 26 May 2012 NEW

We enjoyed our outrigger canoe tour. Our guide knew his stuff. We learned a lot about Hawaiian history and how to paddle our canoe. Would do it again. Beautiful day, beautiful view.

“Great Surfer Instructor - so so on equip, boat and other staff”

Reviewed 23 May 2012

I purchased a Groupon for a private two hour surf lesson for two people. For the money this was a great deal. When we showed up about ten minutes before 9A (for a 9A lesson) not all the employees were present. After we checked in we sat outside waiting and watched the various employees straggle in. Around 9:15 they took... More

Aloha Marie, Thank you for your review of your Hawaiian Surf Adventure - we appreciate the feedback, good and not so good ;) Just to clarify, we have never offered a Groupon for a private surf lesson - only group lessons. Our private lessons are $149 and since the Groupon you purchased was $44 per person, that would be a... More

“Unforgettable experience!”

Reviewed 20 May 2012

WOW! The outrigger canoe tour was incredible. Tour guide was fun, patient, and very knowledgeable in Hawaiian history. Learned so much more than how to steer a canoe. This is a must do activity when visiting Honolulu.

“Amazing experience - Amazing instructors!”

Reviewed 17 May 2012

We booked this activity for a group of 4 - and it couldn't have been better. We went for actual surf lessons - not the stand-up paddle, and the instructors got us up in no time! You take a boat out to a fairly secluded spot.. prefect for learning.. One instructor will bring you out to the waves, and the... More

“Outrigger Canoe Lesson”

Reviewed 7 May 2012

My outrigger canoe lesson was superfantabulous! Nobi was the best instructor anyone could ask for! He was so knowledgeable about his heritage and seemed to love sharing with everyone on the canoe. Ask him anything, he will know the answer! We started off with a very informative lesson on how to use the paddle and make the canoe move seamlessly.... More

“"No B" is Da Best”

Reviewed 6 May 2012

We spent an amazing two hours on an outrigger canoe adventure with "No B" (aka Randon) learning about Hawaiian folklore, navigational techniques, Island geology, local attractions and, of course, outrigger canoe paddling skills. We have done dozen of activities during our many trips to the Islands, and this ranks as one of the very best. Mahalo!
