Waikiki Beach Services is a Honolulu-based ocean recreation provider operating on Waikīkī Beach. The company offers a range of ocean experiences including outrigger canoe charters, canoe surfing, private and group surf lessons, stand-up paddle lessons, Beachboy Valet services, beach umbrella and chair rentals in front of The Royal Hawaiian Hotel, and burial-at-sea ceremonies. Certified Canoe Captains and lifeguard-certified instructors guide guests on paddling and surfing adventures suitable for beginners through intermediate participants. Private options include one-on-one stand-up paddle lessons and private surf lessons for duos, trios, and small parties, while public or shared canoe charters accommodate guests with guided instruction.
Burial-at-sea services allow families to scatter ashes from a traditional outrigger canoe beneath the iconic Diamond Head with a ceremonial return to shore. Rentals place guests steps from the Waikīkī shoreline and the historic Royal Hawaiian Hotel for convenient beach access and people-watching. Waikiki Beach Services emphasizes safety, local expertise, and authentic Hawaiian outrigger canoe tradition, combining certified staff, guided instruction, and hands-on experiences in protected reef breaks typical of Waikīkī. Booking options include private charters and lesson packages tailored by group size and skill level. Private options specify group sizes: one-on-one lessons, private surf duos, private surf trios, and private surf parties for four to five people; some surf lessons require participants aged 13+.
