Fun Honeymoon Excursion! - Very fun! My husband and I really enjoyed this adventure. My husband and I were paired up with another party of 2, and the guide/coach. I was a little unsure being as I had never done anything like this before, but it was a blast! I didn’t feel any seasickness which was one of my concerns. After the brief verbal training on land, you start by paddling around a little bit to get used to the concept, before catching waves. You do get wet from splashes of waves. I think we rode about 5-7 waves total and our group did flip over once, but we still had a blast! I’d go out again!

Fun way to ride the waves as a family - We enjoyed our first try at outrigger canoeing. Instructions were a little daunting at first but everything fell into place when we got out on the water. Fun experience.

Great way to spend an hour on the water and catch some waves in a unique way - My wife and I live on Kauai and are avid watersports people. She has always wanted to try outrigger canoe paddling, and since Kauai Beach Boys offered OC Surfing (and Kalapaki Beach is one of our faves) we took our boards to the beach and took an OC session. It was awesome, and our instructor, Krishan was super experienced and got us some nice waves to ride. And as for rental-touring businesses in popular tourist locations, their prices are way reasonable compared to a LOT of tropical destinations. We had a blast and wouldn't hesitate to refer people (which we do). Brandon, working the rentals, was also super friendly and helpful. Staff is great!
