Catch the aloha spirit with Kauai Surfing Tours — fun, safe lessons with local instructors on Kauai’s best beaches, perfect for all ages and skill levels.
Experience the stunning Hanalei Bay, a perfect spot for beginners to learn surfing amidst jade-green...
All surfboards and rash guards are provided for the duration of your lesson, so you don't need to haul gear from your hotel or rent anything separately. The boards are large, stable foam longboards — the kind that actually float well and give beginners a fighting chance at standing up on their first or second wave.
Your instructor ratio of 2-3 students per coach means you're getting coaching that's close to private-level without the private-lesson price tag. You'll receive real-time feedback on your paddle technique, your positioning on the board, and your pop-up — not just a quick demo on the sand followed by being sent out alone.Experience the thrill of surfing at Hanalei Bay, renowned as one of Hawaii’s top spots...
All necessary surf equipment is provided, including a foam longboard sized for your height and weight and a rash guard to protect against board rash and sun. You won't need to rent or haul anything — just show up at the beach and your instructor will have everything ready on the sand before the lesson begins.
Professional, patient instruction from certified surf coaches who know Hanalei Bay's breaks intimately is included in the lesson price. The group format keeps class sizes small enough that instructors can give real-time feedback during your pop-ups on the beach and watch your positioning in the water — this isn't a hands-off experience where you're left to figure it out alone.Experience the breathtaking beauty of Hanalei Bay while learning stand-up paddleboarding! This stunning crescent of...
All SUP equipment is provided — wide, stable beginner-friendly boards and adjustable paddles sized to your height are included in the lesson price. You show up in your swimsuit, and everything you need to get on the water is already waiting on the beach for you.
Professional, certified instruction is built into every session, not an add-on. Your instructor covers land-based technique before you ever touch the water, which means your first strokes are deliberate and controlled rather than a panicked wobble-and-fall situation most beginners expect.Accelerate your surf skills with completely personalized private instruction on Kauai’s world-renowned breaks.

All surfboard equipment is provided for the duration of your lesson, including foam longboards sized for your height and weight — the kind of board that actually gives beginners a fighting chance in the water. You don't need to drag anything to the beach or worry about rentals; your instructor handles the gear from start to finish.
Rash guards are available to protect your skin from both sun and board friction, which matters more than most first-timers realize until they're rubbing sunburned forearms against wax for 90 minutes straight. Reef-safe sunscreen is strongly encouraged and you should apply it before you arrive, since you won't want to lose water time reapplying on the sand.Experience the thrill of surfing with a semi-private lesson in Koloa, Kauai’s South Shore, where...
All surf equipment is provided, including a soft-top longboard sized to your skill level and a rash guard to protect you from the sun and board wax. You don't need to bring or rent anything separately — just show up at the meeting point in Koloa ready to get in the water.
Certified surf instruction is built into every minute of this lesson, not just a quick demo on the sand before they send you loose. Your instructor stays with your group throughout — adjusting your paddle technique, coaching your pop-up timing, and physically guiding your board into waves until you're reading the sets on your own.Discover the magic of surfing Kauai’s pristine beaches with personalized instruction from certified local surf...

Premium Surfboard & WetsuitExperience Kauai’s premier surf lesson with Blue Seas Surfing School! This 90-minute private session offers...
All surfboard equipment is provided, and your instructor will select the right board size for your skill level before you ever hit the water. This matters more than it sounds — riding a board that's too short or too narrow for a beginner is the number-one reason first-timers wash out before they ever stand up, and your coach won't let that happen.
Rash guard use is included, which protects your chest and stomach from the inevitable wax rash that comes with learning to paddle and pop up repeatedly on a foam deck. If you've never had surf rash, trust the locals on this one — you'll be grateful for it after your fifteenth attempt at standing.Join Blue Seas Surfing School in Koloa on Kauai’s sunny South Shore for an unforgettable...
All surf equipment is provided, including a soft-top longboard sized to your ability level — these wider, more buoyant boards are specifically chosen to give beginners the best chance of actually standing up on their first few waves. You don't need to own or rent anything separately; show up ready to paddle and the instructors handle the rest.
Certified, experienced instructors lead every session, and on Kauai's South Shore that means someone who surfs these exact breaks daily and knows exactly where to position beginners to catch the most consistent whitewater. They'll watch your pop-up form on the beach, correct it before you hit the water, and then follow you into the surf to give real-time guidance — not just wave from the shore.Enjoy the best of both worlds with our semi-private surf lessons designed for 2-3 people....

Snorkel gear — mask, fins, and flotation device — is provided for every guest on board, so there's nothing to haul from your rental car or buy at a surf shop the night before. The equipment is well-maintained and the guides will adjust your mask on the boat if you're getting leakage, which makes a real difference when you're in the water with a green sea turtle twenty feet below you.
A light snack and water are included to keep you fueled through the morning, because between the ocean spray, the sun, and the physical demands of riding a zodiac raft, dehydration sneaks up fast. Don't skip eating before you board — the snack is light, not a meal, and you'll be moving for four and a half hours on open water.Experience the Na Pali Kai III, a spacious catamaran departing from Port Allen on Kauai’s...
The Na Pali Kai III features a shaded cabin deck with seating so guests who need a break from the sun can step inside without missing the commentary or the views through wide windows. In practical terms, this means families with keiki or guests who run hot aren't stuck choosing between comfort and the experience — you get both.
Snorkel gear is provided onboard, giving guests the chance to drop into the water at a designated stop along the coast where the clarity can reach 60 feet on a calm day. The gear is rinsed and ready to go, so you don't need to haul your own equipment across the island or pay a separate rental fee.Discover the Na Pali Coast aboard our newest fleet additions – the state-of-the-art Seiko I...

Snorkel gear is provided for all guests, including masks, fins, and flotation devices for those who want extra support in the water. This means you don't need to haul your own equipment to the harbor or worry about mask fit — the crew helps dial everything in before you hit the water, which makes a real difference for first-time snorkelers who've never cleared a mask before.
The vessel is equipped with a shaded seating area so you can get out of the sun between snorkel stops without baking on an open deck. On a north shore Kauai morning, the trade winds keep things comfortable, but having shade available during the 20-minute transits between sites is genuinely appreciated — especially for guests with keiki or anyone sensitive to direct sun.Explore Kauai’s stunning reefs without a boat on this 2-hour guided shore snorkeling tour along...
All snorkel gear is provided, including masks, fins, and snorkels fitted to your face before you ever step near the water. Your guide will check the seal on your mask and walk you through clearing and breathing technique right on the beach, so first-timers aren't fumbling with equipment once they're in the surf.
Expert local guide instruction is included throughout the full two hours — this isn't a drop-you-in situation where you're on your own after a five-minute demo. Your guide stays in the water with the group, pointing out marine life, managing safety, and sharing the kind of reef knowledge that takes years of daily swims to accumulate.Discover Kauai’s spectacular underwater world at your own pace with our premium adult snorkel set...

Round-trip hotel transportation is included in this package, meaning a comfortable shuttle picks you up at your Kauai hotel and returns you safely at the end of the night. This matters more than it sounds — Kilohana Plantation is a few miles outside central Lihue, and the road back after dark and a few cocktails is not where you want to be guessing directions on your rental car GPS.
The historic plantation train ride is a genuine working sugarcane-era train that circles the Kilohana estate before the luau program begins, narrated with stories about Kauai's plantation days. It runs slowly enough that you can hear the wheels on the rails, feel the warm evening air, and watch the estate's sprawling gardens pass by — it's the kind of slow-down moment that actually makes you exhale after a busy day of sightseeing.Combine Kauai’s railroad heritage with authentic Hawaiian culture in this exciting combination package.

Round-trip transportation is included in this package, meaning a vehicle picks you up from your accommodation and returns you after the luau ends — no coordinating Ubers from the Lihue area in the dark after you've had a few drinks. For families with rental cars, this also means skipping the plantation parking situation entirely and arriving completely relaxed.
The historic Kilohana Plantation train is part of this package, not an add-on, and it runs through the estate's working fields with narration about Kauai's sugarcane heritage before the luau begins. You're riding in open-air cars with the trade winds moving through, so you actually feel the land rather than just looking at it through a window.Combine Kauai’s fascinating railroad history with authentic Hawaiian culture in this unique experience package.

The Gold Package includes premium seating positioned close to the performance stage, so you're not squinting at fire dancers from the back of a crowd. This isn't just a comfort upgrade — it changes the experience entirely, putting you close enough to feel the heat radiating off the torches and catch every expression on the performers' faces during the hula.
Unlimited mai tais, Blue Hawaiians, and non-alcoholic drinks are included throughout the evening, served tableside so you're never hunting down a bartender mid-show. The bar staff keeps things flowing without being pushy, and the drinks are made with real fruit juice — not the neon syrup versions you sometimes get at other events around the island.Step into Kauai’s plantation past with an exclusive Manor House dining experience.

The Gold Package includes premium assigned seating closer to the performance stage, which means you're not craning your neck past strangers to watch the fire knife dancer work. In practical terms, this placement gives you a full sightline to every act — the hula, the drumming, the imu ceremony — without fighting for position.
An open bar is included for the duration of the luau, featuring mai tais, Blue Hawaiians, and non-alcoholic options for keiki and designated drivers. The bar stays active through the show, so you're not rushed through one drink before the entertainment starts — you can actually settle in and enjoy.Experience a transformative day in Hawaii as you journey from Kauai’s lush valleys to the...
Round-trip inter-island airfare from Kauai is included in your package, meaning you're not scrambling to book a separate flight or coordinate departure times on your own. This matters practically because the ground and helicopter portions are timed to the flights — you show up at the departure point and the whole day moves as one coordinated sequence rather than a patchwork of separate bookings.
Aerial helicopter exploration over Kilauea's active lava flows is part of what you're getting here, not an optional add-on you pay for at the landing zone. From the air, you'll see the scale of the volcanic landscape in a way that's genuinely disorienting — features that look small from the helicopter turn out to be 40-foot lava tubes and collapsed craters when you encounter them on the ground portion of the tour.Perfect for couples or small groups seeking luxury without the full-day commitment, this private half-day...
Climate-Controlled Transportation - Comfortable vehicles for all weather conditions
Light Refreshments - Quality snacks and beverages during your adventureEmbark on a 10-hour private tour from Lihue, featuring a dedicated guide and an exclusive...
Your private helicopter flight is the centerpiece of the aerial portion — not a shared tour where six strangers crowd the windows, but a flight sized to your group where the pilot narrates what's directly in front of you. This means the pilot can linger over Manawaiopuna Falls (yes, the Jurassic Park waterfall) or swoop low over the Na Pali Coast based on what you want to see, not a fixed script.
Gourmet dining is included in the day, sourced and planned by your guide based on the island's best current options — expect fresh poke, locally grown produce, and dishes that reflect what Kauai's food scene actually tastes like right now. This isn't a box lunch tossed in a cooler; it's a proper sit-down meal at a spot that a tourist wandering Kapaa on their own would never stumble into.Experience the breathtaking beauty of Kauai on a private helicopter tour departing from Lihue Airport....
The private charter means your group has complete control of the cabin — no weight-balancing seat assignments, no strangers next to you during a proposal or anniversary moment, and no tour operator rushing through a scripted narration on a fixed schedule. Your pilot communicates directly with your group before and during the flight, adjusting the route in real time based on weather windows and what you're most excited to see.
Air Kauai operates modern, well-maintained helicopters with noise-canceling headsets for every passenger, so you can actually hear your pilot explain what you're looking at instead of just watching the scenery scroll by in silence. The headset system also lets your group talk to each other mid-flight — which matters when you're hovering above a waterfall and everyone is losing their minds at the same time.Embark on the ultimate Kaua’i adventure combining breathtaking helicopter tours with comprehensive ground sightseeing.

Educational Commentary - Age-appropriate Hawaiian cultural storiesExperience the ultimate private helicopter tour from Lihue Airport, where every seat has a view!...
The aircraft is exclusively yours for the full hour — no other passengers, no shared itinerary, no compromising on which valley gets the most hover time. In practical terms, that means photographers can request specific angles over Hanakapi'ai Beach or the Honopu arch without the pilot moving on before the shot is captured.
A dedicated pilot-guide flies with your group and customizes commentary to your specific interests, whether that's geology, filming locations from Jurassic Park, or the remote valleys only visible from the air. Unlike shared tours where the script is fixed, your pilot can slow down over the areas that matter most to you and answer questions in real time.Embark on a thrilling 45-minute doors-off helicopter flight from Lihue Airport, where $345 grants you...
Harness and safety equipment are provided and fitted by the crew before you board. This isn't a loose seatbelt situation — the doors-off configuration uses a full restraint system that keeps you completely secure while still allowing you to lean slightly outward for photos, which makes an enormous practical difference when you're hovering beside Manawaiopuna Falls.
Noise-canceling headsets are included for every passenger and double as your communication link to the pilot throughout the flight. The pilot narrates in real time — calling out landmarks, explaining the geology of the Waimea Canyon, pointing toward the remote valleys of the Na Pali — so you're not just watching scenery, you're actually understanding what you're looking at.Experience the stunning beauty of Kauai on a 60-65 minute AStar helicopter tour from Lihue...
The AStar helicopter features large panoramic windows on all passenger sides, giving every seat a genuine aerial view rather than the neck-craning, elbow-bumping experience common on smaller aircraft. In practical terms, this means your photos don't have a plastic bubble reflection ruining every shot, and you're not fighting for position every time the pilot banks toward a waterfall.
The enclosed cabin maintains a comfortable temperature throughout the flight, which matters more than people expect — at cruising altitude over Kauai's interior, the air is noticeably cooler than sea level, and sitting still for an hour in the breeze of an open-door flight can leave you genuinely chilled. The doors-on configuration also significantly reduces cabin noise, so you can actually hear the pilot's narration clearly through the headset rather than straining to catch every other word over rotor wash.Experience the breathtaking beauty of Kauai on a 60-65 minute MD500 helicopter tour, departing from...
Every seat on the MD500 is a window seat — technically a door seat, since the doors come off before the flight. There are no middle passengers craning over your shoulder or glass panels softening the view, which means your photos come out sharp and the experience feels raw in a way that closed aircraft simply can't replicate.
Noise-canceling headsets connect every passenger to the pilot's narration throughout the flight, so when you're hovering above the 3,000-foot walls of the Na Pali Coast and the pilot explains what you're looking at, you can actually hear every word. The intercom also lets passengers ask questions mid-flight — a detail that turns the experience into a conversation rather than a narrated slideshow.Experience Kauai like never before on this private helicopter tour, departing from Lihue Airport. Perfect...
Your group has exclusive use of the aircraft for the entire flight — no sharing the cabin with other parties, no compromising on where you sit or what you prioritize seeing. In practical terms, this means couples can sit together at a window, families can arrange seating so keiki get a clear sightline, and your pilot is responding only to your group's energy and interests throughout the tour.
The custom route option is a real conversation, not just a checkbox — before you lift off, your pilot walks you through the typical Kauai flight path and asks what matters most to you. If you're celebrating an anniversary and want to hover above the Na Pali coastline at a specific angle for photos, you ask for it. If your family has been watching Jurassic Park for three weeks straight and needs to see those falls, that's where you go.Embark on a private helicopter adventure from Lihue Airport and experience one hour of breathtaking...
The private, dedicated pilot means your guide's full attention stays on your group for the entire flight. You can ask questions mid-air, request a second pass over Manawaiopuna Falls, or simply let the pilot read your group's pace — something that's impossible on a shared tour where the script never changes.
Headsets are provided for all passengers so you hear the pilot's narration clearly even when the rotor noise peaks over the louder canyon corridors. The communication system also lets your group talk to each other in flight, which means you won't miss that shared moment when someone spots a waterfall no one expected.Welcome to Kauai, Hawaii’s Garden Isle, where emerald valleys, towering cliffs, and pristine beaches create a tropical paradise.
