Kailua Stand Up Paddle Boarding Lesson

Justing and Morgan were exceptional with their instructions and assistance. We used a day pass so we had a kayak and a paddleboard to use all day. The beach chairs that were included had awesome zip pouches, cup holders and phone holders. when we returned our equipment, again Justin and Morgan again provided excellent service by helping remove the equipment from the top of the car. Our entire family had a wonderful day at the beach!!!!

Stand-up paddleboarding turned out to be much harder than I expected, but my guide, Tomo, was incredibly adaptive and made the whole experience fun and enjoyable. He was patient, adjusted to my skill level, and tailored the experience to my preferences. We paddled out to a small island and enjoyed beautiful views and wildlife along the way, and he also shared lots of interesting stories and local insights about Kailua. It was a fun first-time paddleboarding experience, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone thinking about giving it a try.

Evelyn is fabulous and gave us all the information we needed! Highly recommend! It was the highlight of our trip this summer!

Just finished a two hour SUP session with Tommy. Unbelievable! I’m pretty comfortable on a board but I like to have someone accompany me in open water. Not only was it carefree, but I picked up some new tips and tricks. And the two hours flew by between visiting flat island (which Tommy is an expert on in terms of the history and fauna), and just cruising Kailua Bay. I 100% recommend KBA. They make getting on the water super easy and safe.

The staff were all very kind and accommodating and were honest about the conditions on the water. It was very windy so the SUP was a tough workout, but we loved it. The package we bought included access to lots of fun things for the beach, so I used the snorkel, mask and fins to see turtles at Lanikai.

Had a great time during this lesson. My friend and I had never done SUP before, so we got some instruction before heading out, and then our instructor took us onto a calm stream before we headed out into the ocean. Overall, an outstanding experience. Highly recommend!

This place is so gorgeous. Even the drive from Waikiki was incredible. The tour company is extremely organized and professional and nice. My guide was personable and knowledgeable. I am 57 and overweight and I was still able to do it.

Tommy, our instructor, was great, he gave good and clear instructions. He is strong to pull me up the board when I fell. The store has everything you need in case you miss. Locker for your belongings, although it only has outdoor shower to raise out the sand and use toilet inside the plaza. The lesson includes lunch voucher and discount for purchase in the store. The sandwich in market was good. The day was perfect for SUP, not wavy. I recommend this place. They offer other lessons too.

Such an amazing experience. The guides were awesome, experienced, funny and knowledgeable about everything Hawaii

What a wonderful time we had doing our SUP lesson. All of the staff at Kailua Beach Adventures is very friendly, professional and just plain fun! The reservation process was easy and efficient as well as the check-in. We had the most amazing guide/teacher/sherpa, in Riki I. A BIGG SHOUT OUT TO RIKI!!! He's a real treasure because of his innate kindness and curiousity. He was very patient in teaching us the moves on the board, and just full of energy! On Flat Island, he regaled us with local stories, pointed out wildlife and was just an all around great guy! Definitely come to Kailua Beach and try this out. It's so worth it!

Japanese lady Mieko was my SUP instructor. That was my first SUP experience. Thanks to Mieko, I had a great experience through canal, ocean and then landed flat island!!! Highly recommend :)

I had a great day today with instructor Riki! He was a great teacher and we even managed to surf a few waves! Not only that, did he told me lots about the local area which was a nice extra touch. Would highly recommend

Had the most amazing time doing the SUP lesson w/ KBA! Our guide Hayley was highly knowledgable and thorough in her instructions and had us newbies up and paddling in no time! She was also very passionate about sharing the ocean and history of Kailua. Overall an amazing and enriching experience we wonʻt forget! Highly recommend!

I went to the island with Tomo's guide! Thank you for explaining it clearly; I was able to enjoy SUP with peace of mind. Thank you very much.

It was my first experience of sup, but I was able to enjoy it thanks to Tomo's kind guidance. It was a good memory of coming to Hawaii. Thank you very much 😊

Thanks to Instructor Tomo my first sup was a very good memory!! I had a great time riding the waves and seeing the beautiful scenery!!

The wind was so strong that I couldn't do stand-up paddles in the sea, so I was asked if I wanted to do stand-up paddles in the river or kayak in the sea, so I switched to kayaking. It was a shame we couldn’t stand up paddle, but kayaking was fun and quick! Tomo-san's guide also explained the island in detail. If you get the chance to come back, I would love to see you!

sup. I rowed to Flat Island. It was exhausting, but fun! The staff were also kind. It was also OK in Japanese! In the afternoon, we went shopping for bikes. I want to come back again with the price included.

EMI and NATSUE showed me around very kindly. I enjoyed the time because I learned the rules of Flat Island such as renting out sup and renting out bikes.

Tomo-san's lessons were great! Even those who are not confident in English can SUP with confidence. If you are planning to do SUP in Hawaii, don't miss it! Hotel pickup on 45 days before 8:00 AM SUP 2 hours when we get there Lunch (hamburger delicious!! Free time (snorkeling, cycling, bodyboarding) Pick-up and drop-off at the forecourt hotel around 16:00

First there are standing and paddling lessons on the waves and windless river, so you can cross the island from the sea without worry, even for the first time. There is no problem if you are not confident in your physical strength and core. perfect guide tomo will take you safely to the island and entertain you. The view is also amazing! The SUP was great fun too!

Natsue and Emi explained everything to us in Japanese, so we were able to depart with peace of mind. I was grateful that the tour included waterproof bag rental. In addition to SUPs, you can also rent cycles and snorkels on the tour, so I recommend it as you can go to Lanikai as well as Kailua.

It was fun to make my SAP debut in such a beautiful ocean! The tour was explained and supported in Japanese, so I was able to participate with peace of mind. Thank you Natsue and Emi! I'll definitely come again next time I come to Hawaii!

It was my first time doing SUP, but the instructor, Tomo, was very friendly and gave me great instruction. He also showed me around the deserted island and took lots of photos, so it was a very fulfilling lesson! I don't usually get to go into the ocean, so it was a great experience to experience something out of the ordinary! It's the best memory of my trip to Hawaii! Thank you very much

It was my first time doing SUP so I was a little nervous, but Tomo, who was in charge, taught me carefully and took photos for me, and it became a very fond memory! I was also lucky enough to be able to participate with just my sister who went with me, so I was able to experience riding the waves on a SUP! I'm grateful to Tomo for giving me this valuable experience ^_^

We went to Hawaii on our honeymoon. I had always wanted to try SUP, so I chose it, and it was the most fun thing I did during my trip to Hawaii! The activity was fun, of course, but our instructor, Tomo, was great at teaching, and he was really funny and fun! Even beginners can enjoy it with peace of mind! After SUP, we were given snorkeling equipment and went to Lanikai Beach to snorkel. ✨ I had other plans so I went in the afternoon, but I wish I had gone in the morning and spent the whole day there. I definitely recommend going. 👍

Our guide, Tomo, was the best. He called out to us appropriately, took good care of our children, and I was very happy to see their smiles. Thanks to Tomo, our whole family was able to have a great time. He taught us a lot about the good points of SUP, and I would like to ask for his help again next year.
