she was awesome! very welcoming and taught the class with passion. highly recommended! we were lucky to have a private class, unplanned, but I think a larger group would've been nice too. price is fair and the atmosphere was great. the length of the class also worked great for us.

Kelsey, our teacher and guide was so great and patient! It was a perfect day to paddle and the turtles were a great addition. I highly recommend for beginners and experienced paddlers.

So amazing. I’ve done stand up paddle boarding before, but I found this such a great experience. I learned some better technique, got to have time on the water, and saw a bunch of sea turtles! It was a fantastic morning.

Yoga Floats/Magic Island SUP was easy to book. Corinne (I’m not sure I spelled it correctly) was friendly and helped me find green sea turtles. Paddling at Ala Moana Beach was some of the most enjoyable paddling I’ve done.

Such an awesome activity you shouldn't miss when you come to Honolulu!! I'm glad Idid this before the day I leave. Yoga instructor is skillful & knows well how to give us a good experience. We did this in shallow water so no need to worry if you can't swim. Definitely recommend if you are a solo traveller, there is a cool service for taking photos as well while you are fully enjoying yoga experience with the breeze & clear water of the beach. I did this around 9 am but id possible, recommend earlier time slot. Overall,10/10 experience🧘♀️

Kelsey was friendly, safety-oriented, and professional. As an 52 year old man, I am not very athletic anymore, but her instructions allowed me to gain the basic skills to be able to stand up and paddle the board. As a bonus, we saw two turtles just a few feet away from us.

This was my tenth time with Yoga Floats, but my first for 2024. As always it was a great experience. I am hoping to take more classes during my 2024 stay. Kurt was a great instructor.

A great introduction to paddle boarding. I am in my mid-50's and not very athletic but I was able to do it sitting. We plan on getting paddle boards for ourselves.

My boyfriend was visiting Hawaii for the first time, and he really wanted to try paddleboarding. It was my first time too, but I stumbled upon Yoga Floats online and am really glad I did! Kelsey was a great instructor - she took her time to explain basic safety, about paddleboarding and etiquette of the beach too. She was also really accommodating and supportive (I was nervous to fully stand and stayed on my knees the whole time). She was also a great person overall! We were lucky to have great weather conditions, and her great energy also brought along a lot of great experiences. We saw a turtle pop its head up and a couple of fish flop out of the water too! I really want to check out some of their other offerings too, like stand up yoga and nighttime yoga on Fridays, where you can see the fireworks shortly after!
