Private Stand-Up Paddling Duo (2 people)

There's something magical about gliding across Waikīkī's protected waters on a SUP board, especially when you have the undivided attention of expert instructors. This private stand-up paddling duo lesson in Honolulu gives just two people the chance to master this beloved Hawaiian water sport in the calm, sheltered waters off one of the world's most famous beaches.

Your 1 hour and 15-minute adventure starts with a thorough 15-minute safety briefing right on the sand. Here, certified instructors break down the fundamentals-proper stance, paddle grip, and basic safety protocols. Once you hit the water for your full hour of instruction, you'll work on essential techniques: finding your balance, perfecting your paddle strokes, and executing smooth turns.

Waikīkī's gentle conditions make it the perfect classroom for beginners. The protected waters rarely get choppy, so you can focus on building confidence rather than fighting waves. As you paddle over the coral reef, keep your eyes peeled for honu-those graceful Hawaiian green sea turtles that call these waters home.

Meet at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel on Kalākaua Avenue, arriving 10-15 minutes early for check-in at the service counter. Everything you need comes included: your SUP board, rash guard, and instruction from CPR-certified, state-licensed guides through Waikiki Beach Services. Just bring your towel, sunscreen, and swimwear.

This private stand-up paddling duo experience in Honolulu welcomes participants 13 and older who are comfortable swimmers. Unfortunately, pregnant participants and those with neck or back injuries can't join for safety reasons.

Starting from $130 per person, this personalized lesson offers couples, friends, or family members quality one-on-one instruction in Hawaii's iconic waters. Remember, cancellations need 48 hours advance notice for refund eligibility.
