This was a truly awesome experience. We had Sam as a driver and he was totally great. He navigated traffic well and all of his narrating was necessary, funny and enjoyable.
We had a slight problem in that we missed our pick up (oops!) but the company was helpful and told us where to go to get another pick up.
We did some bike riding in the morning, saw Pipeline and had a great time. In the afternoon we tried SUP and saw turtles! It was a fully awesome experience. So good getting out and SEEING the North Shore, not just taking pictures of it.

初めてのカヤック体験でしたが、ガイドなしでチャレンジしました!
結果は、目的の島(フリーアイランド)に早々に辿りつけましたし、
二人であーだーこーだ言いながら、漕いだのは楽しい思い出です。
ガイドなし、でしたが事前のビデオでそれなりに説明は見れましたし、
周りにカヤックをやっている方(外人さんカップルとか)を見て
お手本にしたりも出来ました。
男性がいれば、ガイドなしでなんとかなるもんです(笑)
ハワイで一番燃えた楽しい思い出になりました!

ピックアップのスタッフの呼び込みが悪く、それぞれの場所で時間がかかってしまい、現地での時間が少なくなってしまたような気がしますが、現地スタッフの対応もよく、楽しく過ごすことができました。別荘地の中を流れる河川をカヤッキングするのも良かったです。ビザはお薦めです。また、ゆっくりと来たいところです。

My husband and I were disappointed with the tour guide. We felt he had a attitude about him and really didn't want to be there. At times we thought he was being rude in his manor and attitude. We went on another tour and the guide was so different and really acted like he wanted to be there. It made a big difference on the tour and made it much more enjoyable. The tour itself was great, but it could of been a lot nicer if the guide was more interested in the people on his bus and what he was doing.

This was a great tour. Our tour guy, I believe his name is Sam was very helpful and funny. Sam was also very knowledgeable and he made the tour a memorable experience for us. We like the fact that we get to plan out our activities and get to see couple places at North Shore. The only suggestion that we think can improve for the tour is the activities in the afternoon. There wasn't a lot of options in the afternoon activities like in the morning. Overall, we enjoyed the tour very much.
Aloha Betty,
Mahalo for your review and to make suggestions on how we can improve. This is essential to make guest's experience even better. We will think about ways to try to incorporate more activities to the pm break. Alooooha!

家族4人で参加しました。
ピックアップでトラブルが生じたので、十分な時間がなく、とても残念でした。
カヤック、ボディボード、シュノーケリングがついていたのですが、全部はできませんでした。
カヤックは、トラブルの埋め合わせということで、ガイド付きにアップしてもらいました。ガイドが親切で楽しく過ごせました。ただ、各自でカヤックをオフィスからビーチまで運ぶのはとても大変でした。
これだけで、時間が終わってしまい、残り1時間というところで、浜辺でランチを食べ、無理やり10分ほどボディボードをしました。
ランチはBBQチキンにしましたが、とても美味しかったです。
そのビーチでは、シュノーケリングをするような珊瑚礁はないとガイドに言われ、楽しみにしていただけに時間もなく、できなくてとても残念でした。
時間に余裕がもっとあれば、楽しめただろうなと思っています。
この度はお迎え時の手配不備によりご不便をおかけしてしまい申し訳ございませんでした。
また、お迎えの遅れによりその後のツアー時間に影響を与え、時間いっぱいお楽しみいただくことができなかったことも重ねてお詫び申し上げます。
今回の件につきましては催行会社に厳重に注意するとともに今後の再発防止に努めさせていただきます。

前半、ビーチで遊び、後半カヤックの組み立て。
カヤックで無人島に行く部分は、体力的にも、危険の面からも、初心者には十分の内容。ワクワクする冒険心もかなり発揮され、無人島からの景色も素晴らしい。日系女性ヤスヨさんの説明もとてもよかった。
ただ、朝渋滞でピックアップが遅れ、前半のビーチで遊ぶ部分(シュノーケル等)は正味30分しかなく、食事時間も十分にとれず、時間的にあと40分くらいは必要だった。
後半のカヤックが相当いいので、5点満点中4.5と評価。

Made my telephone reservation directly with Veltra and the person I spoke to was very helpful and informative, so I was prepared for the day. I have river kayaked for many years, but this was my first experience with sea kayaking, so I wasn't sure how things would go when wind, current, waves and a different style of kayak were added to the mix. I had a great experience with this company! Toby was an excellent instructor and guide and we had a small group, so we received lots of individualized instruction. Beautiful scenery! And Toby shared a lot of Hawaiin history with us which was a nice bonus. My only regret is not taking the 5 hour trip so I could have more paddling time!! Pizza Lunch was good. After lunch, rode a bike 10 minutes to Lanikai beach and enjoyed some great snorkeling! Wonderful day in Oahu!

We had a great tour guide. We selected the beginners package. We had been kayaking before so in retrospect it was not the best option. The kayaking portion lasted about 30 minutes. We spent most of the time exploring the small island we landed on...not what I was expecting.
Aloha and thanks for your great feedback! You bring up a great point. For anyone with experience kayaking or that feels they are physically fit and adventurous, we highly recommend our Twin Islands Guided Kayak Tour (5-Hours). The 2-Hour Guided Kayaking Excursion is designed specifically for beginners and those who are unsure of their kayaking and ocean ability. Its a perfect introduction to sea kayaking for most beginners. Thanks again for the feedback and we hope you'll be able to join our Twin Island Tour some day. Thanks,

参加した日が、風がとても強い日で超初心者の私たちは不安でしたが、とても楽しく無事にできました。最初は地上でパドルの持ち方や、方向転換の仕方などを教わりました。ツアー自体の開始が遅かったせいか、ここの口コミで見た運河での練習はなく、いきなり海へ! ガイド付きだったので、スタッフの方がサポートしてくれて、問題なく海へ出れましたが、横でガイドなしの参加者の方は、波打ち際で何度も何度もひっくり返ったりでなかなか海へ出れずにいました。海に出たらひたすら漕ぐ・・・風が強くて島に着くまで30分くらいかかった気がします。島に着いたらグッタリでした。私たちを含めて4組の参加者に対して2人のガイドさんがついてくれてました。島への道のりの途中途中で間隔が空き過ぎないように集まったりして、皆で島を目指す感じです。女の子2人組も最初遅れがちでしたが、ガイドさんのカヤックと紐で結び一時的に牽引してくれたりしていたので、女の子2人でも遅れることなく楽しそうでした。 ガイドさんがカヤック中に写真を撮ってくれていました。カヤック中の写真を撮りたいなぁと思っていたので、嬉しいサービス・・・だと思ったけど、メールで送ると言われていましたが2か月ほど経っても送られて来ず。もう送られて来ない気がします:( 行きは風が向かい風で大変でしたが、帰りは漕がなくても進んでしまい遊泳区域に入らないようにするのが大変でした。
一つ言わせてもらえれば、旅行業に携わっていた者としては、ここに記載の日程と違ったのは困りものですかね 。。。日程を見て来るお客さんもいると思うのに。 当日はホテルに8時半ピックアップでしたが、着いたら「カヤックツアーは11時半過ぎからね~」と結局2時間半近く待つハメに。カヤック後に自由時間があると思っていたので、予定が狂いました。お昼を先に食べておいた方が良いと言われたので食べましたが、酔ったら嫌だなぁと思うとあまり喉に通らず。帰りのバスは2時半で、カヤックが終了したのは2時ごろ。そこから歩いてお店に戻り着替えてアンケートに答えて・・・遅いバスに変更も出来ましたが、やはり皆、他にも予定があったり時間を有効に使いたかったのでしょう、急ぐハメになりました。
なんだかんだ言っても、また是非やりたいです。自然の美しさやカヤック自体の楽しさはもちろ んですが、ここのスタッフが皆フレンドリーで良い人ばかり。外国人スタッフも日本語ペラペラで楽しい時間が過ごせました。
この度はご利用ありがとうございます。
通常はアクティビティページに記載のスケジュールでご案内しているとのこと催行会社を通じて確認しておりますが、当日は何らかの理由によりイレギュラーなスケジュールでのご案内となったようでございます。お客様にはご不便をおかけし誠に申し訳ございませんでした。
また、写真のサービスもガイドの好意で行わせていただいたようでございますが、お客様のお手元に届かなかったとのこと重ねてお詫び申し上げます。
お客様からの貴重な意見を元に、今後のサービスの改善に努めさせていただきます。体験談のご投稿ありがとうございました。

This tour is highly recommended for those who love getting out and active! Our guides Boris and Garrett were very helpful by instructing us on the basics of kayaking and snorkeling. We spent a total of about 1.5 hours snorkeling and about an hour of kayaking. I enjoyed seeing both coral reefs that we visited at the sandbar and loved to learn a little trivia about the place. I saw some wonderful reef fish and some folks even saw turtles. Afterward, we had a home-cooked BBQ lunch. Yum! The scenery was absolutely gorgeous and I hope to come again sometime. By the way, this tour is a ran by Holokai Kayak and Snorkel Adventure, a wonderful group that also runs a children's non-profit program Kama'aina Kids, which provides local children with day camps for learning environmental stewardship. Proceeds go to support the He'eia State Park and its programs. This place should be on your must see list!
Aloha and thank you again for coming out and experiencing Kane'ohe Bay with us! We appreciate it very much that you took the time to leave us such a nice review. And we also really appreciate the recognition of our affiliation with Kama'aina Kids. Everyone that comes on our tours really is contributing to a good cause. And it's so nice to have someone write a review for us that calls attention to that. Also, I can officially speak for Boris and Garret when I say that they had a great time out there with you too, and they also thank you very much taking the time to recognize them. We know that there are a lot of awesome activities you can choose from when you visit the islands, and we are very grateful that you chose to spend a day with us, and happy that you had a good time! Come see us again anytime! Mahalo nui loa.

前日の営業時間後に思い立ってネット予約したのですが、ちゃんと予約できました。当日の7時頃確定メールが来て、8時半にピックアップ。スタッフは陽気な白人のお兄さんで、客いじりが激しかったです(笑
現地のスタッフは日本人女性で、困ることはありませんでした。
何より助かったのはロッカーがついていること。
カヤックはけっこう重く、乗る場所まで引いて歩くのはちょっと大変なので、男性がいないと辛いです。まったくの初心者でしたが漕ぐのは簡単でした。大人二人+小学生ひとりの3人で乗れました。
海はすいていて気持ちよかったです。もっと時間があればカイルアの街を散策できたので、時間が足りないのが残念でした。
お昼は2つのお店から選べました。海の家という感じのお店でしたが美味しかったです。日本語は通じませんが店員がいい人でした。

This kayak trip was awesome. I booked this tour since I heard that snorkeling is awesome in Kaneohe, and I wanted to get away from busy Waikiki. I was picked up from my hotel in Waikiki in the morning, and once we got to the state park, we were greeted by friendly staff at their gift shop where we checked in.
Make sure you bring your insect repellent. I got bit by mosquitos a few times. Once we were briefed and went down to the launch pad, our kayaks were tugged to the boat so we didn't have to kayak all the way to the first snorkel spot. The guide dropped us around the half way, and we kayaked about 15min to get to the Coconut island. The coral was BEAUTIFUL and there were a lot of tropical fish.
After 30min or so, we were then tugged again to the 2nd location. It was awesome since we were already a little tired from snorkeling. I liked the 2nd location at the sandbar, and this spot was also beautiful. The other snorkelers spotted a huge sea turtle.
We then had a chance to choose if we wanted to kayak back or tugged on the boat again. I chose to kayak back, and it was a perfect amount for kayaking for a day.
They had a fresh water shower at the park, and they took us to their BBQ lunch spot where we had a chance to eat delicious lunch with their staff.
Overall, this was a great tour. Especially recommended for families with small children or older people who can't kayak too long. Tugboat was awesome.
Highly recommended!

I'll keep it short and sweet. Our guide Keala was great. Knowledgeable and easygoing. It was very windy day so we were unable to actually kayak as much as we might have usually which was a bit of a disappointment. I felt the tour should have put off/postponed the outgoing or at least attempted to somehow offer compensation for the shortened outing. But my only real beef was with the knuckleheads who 'helped' me on my landing upon return. They had me get out of the kayak too early in deep water. A large wave turned my kayak over, it washed back at me and I had to jump over it as it washed back, and only my agility saved my knees/legs! They probably didn't even see this happen. That being said, on a normal not so windly day, this would be a great tour.
