Bumper Tube
About This Experience
Get ready for the wildest ride on Oahu's waters! Bumper tubing in Honolulu puts you face-down on an inflatable tube, gripping tight as you're dragged behind a jet ski just inches from the surface. You'll fly across Maunalua Bay or Hawaii Kai Lagoon, and when H2O Sports Hawaii tells you not to let go, they mean it. One slip and you're diving headfirst into those crystal-clear Hawaiian waters.
Each ride runs 10-15 minutes with up to 6 people per tube (weight permitting), but those minutes feel like pure adrenaline. The backdrop? Absolutely stunning views of the Hawaii Kai coastline, Koko Crater, Koko Head, and the towering Ko'olau Mountains. Three generations of families tackle this together—kids constantly daring grandparents to give it a shot. If you want something slightly less intense, banana boat rides let you stay seated while still delivering serious thrills.
Everything starts at the Hawaii Kai Shopping Center headquarters. They'll pick you up from Waikiki hotels when available, which saves the drive out east. Can't get enough action? Observers can ride along on the LaunchCraft Monday through Friday for a fee, with chances to upgrade to bumper tube Honolulu sessions if spots open up. Kids five and under can observe for free but cannot participate in bumper tubing, while others can hang out on the floating activities island and potentially upgrade too.
Come in your swimsuit because you will get soaked. Sunblock and towels are must-haves—grab them in the lobby if you forgot, along with waterproof cameras. Pregnant women can observe from the floating island, though rough conditions mean little ones should skip that part. They run daily with full refunds for 24-hour cancellations or weather issues. When conditions align, GoPro footage captures every wild moment of your bumper tube adventure.
