About this tour

Glide across the calm morning waters of ʻAnaehoʻomalu Bay on a guided 1.5-hour stand up paddleboard adventure along the Kohala Coast. Hulakai's lifeguard-certified guides teach you proper SUP technique before heading out to explore the bay's crystal-clear waters, where you're likely to spot sea turtles, tropical reef fish, and possibly dolphins cruising along the shoreline.

Stand up paddleboarding offers a unique vantage point - elevated above the water's surface, you'll see marine life and coastline from a perspective that swimming or kayaking can't match. The calm morning conditions along this stretch of coast make it ideal for beginners and experienced paddlers alike.

All paddleboarding gear is provided, including board, paddle, and leash. Small groups of up to four participants ensure personalized instruction and a relaxed pace on the water. Bring sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, and a water bottle.

Meet at the ʻAnaehoʻomalu Bay Canoe Club next to Lava Lava Beach Club in Waikoloa. Ages 12 and up are welcome. Morning sessions offer the calmest conditions and best visibility.

Do I need prior paddleboarding experience to join the SUP Adventure tour?

No prior experience is needed to join this SUP Adventure tour. The guides teach you the basics before you head out onto the water, making this suitable for beginners as well as those who have paddled before. It is described as a perfect adventure for families and couples, which reflects its beginner-friendly approach. The 1.5-hour guided format gives you enough time to get comfortable on the board with instruction before exploring the waters of the Kohala Coast. Because the guides are lifeguard certified, you will have qualified supervision throughout the experience, which adds a layer of reassurance for first-timers getting on a paddleboard for the first time.

What should I bring with me on the SUP Adventure paddleboarding tour?

You should bring sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, and a water bottle to the SUP Adventure tour. These items are specifically recommended by the operator to help you stay comfortable during your time on the water. All paddleboarding gear is provided, so you do not need to bring your own equipment. Since the activity takes place outdoors on the open ocean along the Kohala Coast, sun protection is especially important. Having a water bottle on hand will help you stay hydrated during the 1.5-hour session. Because all gear is included, you can focus on packing personal comfort items rather than worrying about equipment.

What is the best time of day to go on the SUP Adventure tour at Waikoloa?

The SUP Adventure tour is ideally done in the morning, according to the operator. Morning sessions benefit from calmer winds and a calmer ocean, which creates a better overall experience on the water. If you are planning your day in Waikoloa, booking an earlier slot is the recommended approach. The Kohala Coast can see increasing trade winds as the day progresses, which makes morning conditions noticeably more stable for stand up paddleboarding. Starting your session early also means you may have a smoother, more enjoyable paddle along the coastline. The operator highlights this timing recommendation specifically to help guests get the most out of their experience.

What is the cancellation policy for the SUP Adventure tour if I need to cancel or if weather causes a cancellation?

You will receive a full refund if you cancel the SUP Adventure tour at least 24 hours before your scheduled time. If the operator cancels the tour due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances, you will also receive a full refund. No-shows, however, are charged the full price. To cancel or ask about a cancellation, you need to contact the operator by email. This policy applies in both directions - customer-initiated cancellations with enough notice and operator-initiated cancellations both result in a full refund. Making sure to cancel well in advance if your plans change will ensure you are not charged for a session you cannot attend.

How large are the groups on the SUP Adventure tour, and is there a minimum age requirement?

The SUP Adventure tour accommodates groups of 2 to 4 participants, keeping the experience small and personal. The minimum age to join is 12 years old, which makes it a good option for families with older children as well as couples looking for an activity together on the Kohala Coast. The small group size of up to 4 people means your guide can give more focused attention to each paddler during the session. Whether you are joining with a partner, a small group of friends, or family members who meet the age requirement, the format is designed to feel like a personalized guided experience rather than a large group outing.
