Outrigger Canoe Paddling, Ukulele, and More!

We hope you’ll join us for a day of outrigger canoe paddling, music and fun at Hana Hou beach in Newport Harbor. Come for an outrigger paddle, picnic, sing, strum or just sit back and listen to music.

If you wish to paddle, you must be able to swim. The fee is $10 per session or $20 per calendar month. We provide paddles, lifejackets, six person Outrigger Canoes and basic instructions. Beginners and experience paddlers are welcome.
PADDLERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO SIGN IN BETWEEN 11 AND 11:30 SO WE CAN ASSIGN YOU A SEAT IN A CANOE AND GIVE YOU A LESSON IF NEEDED.

All musicians and skill levels welcome. Ukuleles, guitars, cajons, and other instruments have all shown up 😊. Sometimes there are FREE ukulele lessons offered by Chris Wright from 11am- noon
