My best friend came to Oahu to visit me with her four boys I have two younger girls the age span of kids was 15 to 6. Alllll of them loved this activity! The guide Fatu was the absolute best at handling the boys goofiness and the team helped when my 8 year old struggled with her paddle board. We laughed it was active but not toooo active. This is a must. Ask for Fatu

It was good experience. I surprised my family and they really liked it. The downside was that the lights on the bottom of the paddlebord are dim and most people's lights died by the end of the tour. The PCC is closed by that time so it's hard to see with no lights at all. The other downside was that the water smelled horrible. It was extremely dirty and it smelled like a cigar box for some reason.

My family loved this experience. As you paddle board through the various "lands" in Polynesia, the guide shares interesting facts and stories representing various parts of Polynesia. The guide was entertaining and highly accommodating and concerned for participants' welfare. For those wanting a little more adventure, there are waterfalls you can choose to avoid or board through, which left us laughing at the end. We highly recommend this to anyone with interest in a soothing nighttime paddle board ride while learning more about the Pacific Islands, and who can have fun getting wet if desired. This can be as adventurous as you want it to be.

I really enjoyed this activity. The tour guide was amazing. I'd consider him a master story teller of Polynesian tales about the god Maui. At the end of the tour he performed a fantastic firestick dance that rivaled the one you see in the Ha Breath of Life show. My only regret is that the event didn't last longer and stop at all of the islands on the PCC. I will do this again if I ever get back to Oahu.

Jeremy was an amazing tour guide! He was extremely energetic and funny. Jeremy made me and my family feel connected to the beautiful Polynesia culture, and in-tune with ourselves as human beings. Above all, he took extra care of our 14 year old son who was curious about the tour. Thank you my brotha for this experience, you impacted all of us with your love for culture and life! Mahalo!

I really wanted to love this tour, however for the price per person I was extremely disappointed. I really thought it would be more of an experience, but it ended up just being a 35 min tour of Polynesia in the pitch black darkness. IF you have never been to the PCC, this is unfortunately not the way to see it for the first time. It would be a great add on if you had been touring during the day, but honestly is not worth $100

We are truly sorry your experience didn’t meet your expectations. The tour from start to finish should be 90 minutes so I’ll investigate what happened that evening with the team. Thank you for your feedback!

We are older in age and was a little hesitant about going out in the ocean on a paddle board. When we found Lunar Legends it was prefect. We also enjoyed hearing about the different Islands of Polynesia. We loved doing it at night and would recommend it to others.

I took 4 of my daughters with me, ages 7, 8, 10, and 12 and we all had a great experience! The 7 year old rode with me and the 8 year old rode with the 12 year old. The younger ones were a little hesitant in the beginning but by the end they didn't want it to be over! The lights under the boards are super cool, and the water is a safe depth, for those afraid of deep waters. Being on the boards in water under the night sky is so magical. My favorite part was when we got to lie down and just take it all in. Our guide Fatu was super helpful and the legends were very interesting. We would definitely do it again!

We love SUP and PCC. Put the two together and you have the Lunar Legends of Polynesia experience. We have gone on this tour three times and each time is a different experience since each guide brings their own touch to the tour. It is not a single script used by each guide and that is one thing I love about this tour. For anyone who is not comfortable with SUP, kayaks are available. We encourage anyone to take the ride and learn a little.

My sisters and I had such a fun night on our Lunar legends tour. We did the stand up paddle boarding and our tour guide was cousin jeremy! He was engaging with the group and always made sure we were all safe. The tour itself was also very knowledgeable and I appreciate uncle Kap continuing with the stories and history even after our tour ended! This was a very amazing experience and we highly recommend!!

DISCLAIMER: my use of the words cousin and uncle is out of respect!! 🤙
