5 stars for an epic change of perspective - We had an excellent SUP tour with Dylan, who is super kind and informative! The tour started bright and early at the Hilo Ocean Adventures storefront, which is actually an awesome location with parking and a perfect location that’s right on the water. Dylan ensured that we were prepped and ready to go with an overview of the day and super stable paddle boards. We were able to launch from the beach a short walk from the storefront and had a beautiful view of Mauna Kea once on the bay. Dylan answered all of our questions and pointed out the Hawksbill Turtles swimming in the bay. We spotted lots of fish and a spotted eagle ray, not to mention a couple of Ne ne on the beach! A huge thanks to Dylan and the Hilo Ocean Adventures team for a fantastic morning full of thoughtful suggestions and wonderful conversation.

Beautiful Day in Hilo - Adam was a great instructor and guide. We were all first timers for SUP and he had us on our way in no time! The paddle to Coconut Island was so beautiful and once there he lifeguarded our teenagers for jumping off of the US Navy dive tower there. Great experience.

Coconut Island SUP - Had a great time paddle boarding out to Coconut Island. Our guide, Matt, was excellent. I recommend this experience.

Best instructor to learn paddle-boarding in Hilo! - My family planned a beginner's paddle boarding experience at Hilo Ocean Adventures, and we were not disappointed in any way whatsoever. Kira, our instructor, was very courteous, kind, and humorous! She prepared us, taught us, and showed us around the pond and the paddle board. Overall, we immensely enjoyed our adventure with Kira.
