    Hi, we are a family of 4 coming in August. Is this a good time for your tour? We have a 9 year old daughter. She is a good swimmer, can she join as well?

    Thanks

      Aloha Karen,

      Thanks for getting in touch with us! Ideal conditions for the Cultural SUP Tour is usually little to no surf. August is typically a good time because the surf is fairly small most days. You can always give us a call about a week before you arrive on the island and we can suggest a good time and day to go. As long as your daughter is a good swimmer, we would be happy to allow her on the tour. We suggest booking a Semi Private Tour which would give you 2 guides for the 4 of you thus ensuring your entire family has fun and stays safe.

      Mahalo!

    That would be great. We are staying at the Hapuna Beach hotel. How far are you from there and do you offer pick up and drop off service

      Aloha Karen,

      We are located in Kona, which is about an hour South from the Hapuna Beach Hotel. Unfortunately we do not offer any pick up or drop off services. You may want to check with the concierge at your hotel. They will be able to help you arrange a ride to us if you need it.

      Mahalo
