adventures to remember

“This was the absolute best thing we did on Oahu. The fireworks were beautiful, Chad was an amazing host. We met lovely people. He took the best pictures of us. We even saw a family of sea turtles that scratched their shells on our boards! I plan on coming back just for this experience again. I’m also very scared of the ocean waters and the unknown, but the light on the paddle board gave us a clear view of the ocean and made me very comfortable.”

“The Friday Fireworks paddleboarding adventure is a must to try while in Hawai’i! The paddle boards had LED lights on the bottom, which made it so much cooler to see the clear waters. While paddleboarding, we saw sea turtles and watched a 10-15 minute firework show. I definitely believe you should experience this activity at least once while in Wakiki. There’s lots of food in the area at a very walkable distance.

My partner and I had never paddle boarded before, but Chad is a great instructor and made it very easy to follow. Chad is not only a great instructor, but he took amazing photographs of us! Thank you Chad for all the recommendations spots for us to try and for keeping us stationary while watching the firework show. p.s. we were running a bit late coming from North Shore area, but Chad was extremely understanding and helpful throughout our journey to get to him.”

“If you are planning on visiting Oahu and happen to be there on a Friday, please book Chad’s Friday night fireworks tour. I cannot recommend this enough. My family spent almost a week on the island, and unanimously agreed this was their favorite experience (you’re welcome for finding this experience, family!).

Chad is supremely helpful when it comes to learning how to paddleboard. This was my first time on a paddle board, and with his direction and cues, I was able to stand up and sit down whenever I felt like it. Good balance and leg strength helps prevent you from falling in.

He warns you at the beginning of the tour to essentially not take anything out on the water you’re prepared to lose, and please heed this warning. Someone in my group brought their prescription sunglasses out, wiped out trying to stand up on the paddleboard, and now they forever live at the bottom of the ocean in Waikiki.

“…SO worth it! We did several excursions over the weekend including snorkeling and UTVs, yet this was by far the best and most magical experience. We saw several sea turtles and they swam right up under our boards! I wish I had photos to share, but I only have videos and can’t figure out how to upload them on Yelp.
