The business runs five distinct experiences: the Scotchman's Creek Long Distance Tour to the Bohemia River, Sunset SUP Tour on the Bohemia River, Paddle Fit fitness classes, POWER Paddle sessions on the North East River, and Full Moon Paddle excursions.
Tours emphasize scenic wildlife viewing—Bald Eagles and deer are commonly noted on the Scotchman's Creek route—and opportunities for relaxed or challenging paddling depending on the trip. The Scotchman's Creek Long Distance Tour accommodates experienced paddlers and allows participants to enjoy a packed lunch on their board.

POWER Paddle is intended for experienced paddlers seeking faster techniques and technical turns, led by expert instructors. The Full Moon Paddle combines sunset and night paddling with glow sticks and essential headlamps for guided moonlit exploration and requests prior experience.
Kula SUP highlights guided instruction, route knowledge, and a focus on safety for outings in tidal creeks, coves, and rivers. The combination of structured fitness classes and guided tours provides options for paddlers seeking both recreational outings and skill progression. Clear trip descriptions and pre-registration requirements help visitors choose the right experience.
