Canoe Surfing

OUTRIGGER CANOE SURFING is the original Hawaiian rollercoaster ride! Waikiki Beach is currently the only place where a visitor can experience the thrill of surfing a wave on an outrigger canoe.

The canoe operates under the guidance of certified first and second canoe captains, who will assist guests with paddling and navigating thru the surf. Your group will paddle out to the surfbreak and get in the line up to catch some waves.

The outrigger canoe is very safe and is one of the only ocean vessels NOT required by the US Coast Guard to carry life jackets aboard. People of all ages and abilities can participate in this activity, which makes it ideal for families and large groups. Experience the thrill of surfing from the safety of the outrigger canoe!

We also provide team building activities on the canoe! If you would like to host a team building activity, please check out our Large Group / Team Building page.
