From the back cover: This enormously talented group of musicians, all native Hawaiians, play and sing their way through the most popular island standards and also give us the first vocal version of the albums title song, Neal Hefti's beautiful Coral Reef.

From Billboard - June 11, 1966: Soft, relaxing tunes in a distinctive Hawaiian style by a popular group – the Hawaiian Surfers. Enchanting versions of "Yellow Bird," "Sayonara" and "The Hawaiian Wedding Song." Easy listening and good music stations will find this excellent programming material and the exposure should create bonus sales for dealers.
