The Alaka‘i Nalu, or “Leaders of the Waves” are Hualālai’s ocean ambassadors. Expert watermen and women, they provide a water sports experience that shares their love and knowledge of the water and ocean life that surrounds the Resort. Alaka‘i Nalu hearkens back to the Hawai‘i of the 30’s and 40’s, when beach boys were respected, fun loving stewards of the ocean. Optimal ocean conditions for all ocean activities is between 7am-11am daily. Scheduling ocean activities during these morning hours allows for the best chance for your enjoyment on the water.
