Outrigger Canoe Surfing - Christian did an outstanding job on our Outrigger Canoe Surfing tour at Kalapaki Beach, just a 15-minute walk from our cruise ship port. His instructions were clear, even for a couple of landlubbers, and the experience was just so fun! Highly recommended! Also rented chairs and an umbrella from Kauai Beach Boys, which filled the rest of the day off the ship beautifully.

Novel experience and super fun! - We had signed up our boys for surf lessons at this same location, so the rest of us decided to try this outrigger canoe surfing thing. The guide was friendly and made my slightly nervous daughter feel comfortable, and he was great at helping us catch the right waves and ride them to the shore. We had a blast, definitely worth doing especially if you've never done it before.

Surf the waves in a canoe - Such a fun experience! Prepare to get wet in a great way! We rode about 5 waves, saw a turtle and enjoyed every minute. Worth doing! Not too strenuous either!

Really fun - This was so much fun! About an hour in the water, we caught 4 waves to ride in. Our guide was great and explained the process well. They rescheduled us because the water was so calm the original day we were scheduled. Really appreciated the effort, rather than just taking us out to sit. My daughter and I paddled, but did not feel the least bit tired afterwards. Definitely a lot of fun.

Really fun morning! - This was a lot of fun! After a short orientation, we got in the canoe and quickly were able to get out in the bay and got in 7-8 wave rides into shore. Although the surf was relatively calm we got going pretty fast! The canoe was also very stable even with a couple relatively inexperienced paddlers.

What a blast. - What a great experience for myself, wife and 7 year old daughter. Krishan was a great instructor and was very patient with my daughter who had never done anything like this before. We saw 2 turtles and caught some god waves. Not too strenuous to do for any of us. I would recommend anyone could do this. Great views too.

Even for the young at heart - We had a great time. Even my mom at 74 years old enjoyed it. We surfed the waves several times. Making more memories. Our steerer/coach was very nice.

Fun for all ages. Learn to paddle an Outrigger canoe. - Very good, Experienced, patient, teachers. We learned a lot about the techniques involved in paddling an outrigger canoe, and had a lot of fun riding the waves. The ‘coach’ made a way for us to do much of the paddling ourselves and coached us every step of the way.
