Hawaii Hoverboarding Tours

Your 2-hour 15-minute hoverboarding adventure starts when you make your way to the front of the Honolulu Zoo in Waikiki and meet your local guide. After safety instructions and some practice, you’ll be off to explore the area with your small group. Put on your wireless one-ear audio receiver to hear from your guide about Hawaii's nature, history, and listen to nostalgic Hawaiian music as you hover from place to place. Starting in beautiful Kapiolani Park, you'll first learn to recognize some of the most popular flowering island trees. While taking in the impressive beach views, we learn why Oahu is known as the ‘birthplace of surfing’ from ancient Hawaiian to modern surfing. Listen to wonderful examples of uniquely Hawaiian instruments such as the slack key guitar and ukulele as we explore the historic bandstand, then smile for a photo at Diamond Heads most photogenic location. Hear about the island's volcanic birth, and learn how the fire Goddess Pele created it all! Stop near a little known prior human sacrificial temple location and learn about Hawaii's ancient Gods, Kings, Queens, and priestly Kahuna. Stop to look for Hawaii’s state fish the distinct Humuhumunukunukuapaa, and find out where the best spot to see giant 300-pound sea turtles is! Hover to the Waikiki War Memorial and Natatorium, then glide over the sand along a palm tree-lined pathway to a local favorite beach Kaimana. Take in the charming historic cottages and multi-million dollar mansions in the Gold Coast while learning about the architecture and real estate development of Hawaii. You'll next climb up the road to Diamond Head lookout and marvel at the panoramic ocean vistas, look for neighbor islands and whales in winter months, and point out hidden bunkers from Diamond Head's military history. Heading back we stop to sample some local snacks, see where one of the richest men in Hawaii in the 50's and 60's once lived, listen to nostalgic tiki pop culture comedy songs, and learn about Hawaii's first and last king's. Try to guess Hawaii filmed movies and TV shows from their soundtracks and finally, we glide with oceanfront views of Waikiki along beautiful Queens beach listening to famous Hawaiian music.
