Experience the excitement of outrigger canoe surfing in Waikīkī, the only place where you can ride the waves in this unique way. Join up to five friends for a private charter, guided by certified captains, and enjoy a thrilling hour of paddling and surfing together, regardless of skill level.
The canoe operates under the guidance of certified first and second canoe captains, who will assist guests with paddling and navigating thru the surf. Your group will paddle out to the surfbreak and get in the line up to catch some waves.
Safety is of the utmost importance to us; in times of large surf or unpredictable ocean conditions, it may not be possible to use the canoe safely. In cases such as these, we will try to give us much warning as possible should we need to cancel or reschedule a booking.
