“If you are lucky enough to book this cruise, you will not be disappointed! A core memory was achieved for our family. The captain & crew are exceptional. This history of the boat brings you as close to stories of this island as a Haole can get. We love this experience. We promise you will too!!”
Private outrigger canoe surfing on Oahu with step-by-step coaching, turtle sightings, and Diamond Head views from the water.
“We loved our time with Sara and Hanalei. The experience itself was amazing. We left the beach at Hickman Field and quickly learned the proper techniques needed to catch a wave. We saw three turtles on our way out. We were able to get a unique view of Diamond Head before catching the first of four waves. They would have stayed out for a few more but we have to get back for dinner. Riding the waves was an exhilarating experience. The feeling of the wave picking up the back of the boat and pushing us along was amazing. It is an experience we will never forget. We also enjoyed…”
