Standup Paddle Tours!

Enjoy the amazing sights and sounds of the Honoli’i River!

In the early 1940’s Waikiki surf instructor, Duke Kahanamoku, began standup paddling, or SUP, as a way to stand on their surfboards and photograph tourists learning to surf for the first time. Standup paddling is now considered one of the fastest growing sports in history and can be found in rivers, oceans and lakes around the world.

The 2-hour standup paddle tour is one of the coolest ways to get around on the water and is an incredible experience that only a true local guide can access. A great upper body workout that is so fun and relaxing you won’t even realize you’re exercising.

Travel upstream along a gorgeous Amazonian-like stretch of the Honolii River to reach your first destination, a dreamy waterfall bath in a secluded natural swimming pool. Take photos at this relaxing pond and travel deeper into the river to reach the highlight of the tour, a 60-foot waterfall under an old arch bridge from the late 1800’s.

So adventure up river by standup paddle and explore the majestic Honolii waterfall.

Private Tour: (One-on-One) - $150/person

Private tours and lessons are the best way to learn how to standup paddle.

"Striking photography adorned the walls of The Surf Cottage, which gave the rental a unique and unmistakable Hawaii surfstyle feel. The artwork showcased the history and culture of the island's surfing roots and was a wonderful extension of the cottage's excellent location in downtown Hilo."
