perfect day tour along with an island tour - ES was a wonderful experience to be able to be so close to the forces of nature and exciting to glide with the small boat over 3-4 meter high wave crests and fall off behind it again... A brilliant experience!

Teahpoo wave experience with Huanai 10/10 - We loved our Teahpoo wave watching experience with Haunai. It was an amazing experience to get up close with the wave and the incredible surfers. Haunai was a knowledgeable expert and helped position us for the best watching and photo opportunities. The crew was friendly and experienced. We were able to jump in and go for a swim too. I would highly recommend the Teahpoo wave experience with Haunai

Dolphins and surfers - The tour was super good and we were so lucky to see dolphins swimming along our boat a few minutes after leaving the dock. The swell at Tehaupoo wasn’t huge, but still enjoyable to see the wave and surfers trying to barrel it in the flesh. Highly recommended!
