Top Services for Active Leisure Sport in Honolulu

I recommend asking about group sizes before you go. Smaller groups make for a more personal experience. I ended up in a big crowd and missed some cool sights.

I suggest booking your dive in advance, especially if you want a specific time! I waited too long and ended up with a less convenient slot. Don't make my mistake!

If you can, bring your own sunscreen. The school offers some, but I found it was low quality and didn’t last long. My advice is to stock up on reef-safe sunscreen beforehand to protect your skin and the ocean!

Book your lesson in advance, especially during peak season. I did last-minute booking and ended up with limited options. The earlier you secure your spot, the better choice of instructors and times you get!

I found the rental prices a bit steep, so if you have your own gear, totally bring it along! It’ll save you some bucks.

I suggest jumping into the water as soon as you can! The longer you wait, the more you’ll be thinking about how cold it is. Just go for it!

I recommend booking your surf lessons a few weeks in advance, especially during peak season—spots fill up fast! I missed out on a prime time because I waited too long.

I found the midday sun pretty intense, so I suggest scheduling your lesson around 8 AM or 3 PM to avoid the heat and enjoy calmer waves.

Don’t forget to ask your instructor for personalized tips after your lesson. They gave me some great advice that helped me improve a lot during my stay!

If you can, bring your own gear. The rentals were decent, but I wish I had my own mask and snorkel for a better fit and comfort.
