    Kailua Bay 2-Hour Guided Kayaking Tour with Lunch - Explore Tide Pools & More!

    4 Hour Guided Tour

    Reviewed by: Mike E.

    We opted for the 4 hour guided tour. Our guide Sheila was fun and extremely knowledgeable. She gave us history, marine biology, and geology lessons as we kayaked out to one of the off shore islands and while exploring the island. The folks on the 2 hour tour were there as long as we were, but they spent less time kayaking and did not visit the island we did - I highly recommend opting for the 4 hour tour. You'll get a lot more kayak time and a much more interesting island to visit.

    ハンズ・ヒーデマン　サーフィンレッスン

    オススメー！！すごく楽しいデスよぉ！

    Reviewed by: satomi.

    女子３人で参加しましたぁ。
    一人はまったくの初心者で、あと２人は数回やった事があるぐらいです。でも、HAWAIIでサーフィンするのは初めてなので･･･。価格も安いし、地元の人に教えてもらいたいし、送迎もついてたので！
    教えてもらっている時は英語でしたケド英語が分からない人でも大丈夫だと思いますよー。
    （日本語が話せる方もいたので。）

    とにかくオススメです！
    優しく教えてくれるし、初めての人でも絶対に立てます。
    ただ、もっとゆっくりと、しっかり教えて欲しい方などは、グループ参加じゃナイ方が良いかもしれませんね。

    初心者にお勧め

    Reviewed by: kainosuke

    　せっかくハワイに行くのにサーフィンをしないなんて勿体ない！と思って利用しました。結果、初心者でも初めての波で立てました。必ず立って波に乗れるように、スタッフが至れり尽くせりの世話をしてくれます。

    　が、若い日本人の女の子（２人連れでした）はスタッフにナンパされていました。そういうことを気にしない人、それも含めて楽しめる人に勧めです。カップルで参加すれば、そういった心配もないでしょう。

    　スタッフは簡単な日本語ならみんなできるようです。英語が心配な人でも安心してたのしめます。値段が高いのは日本人向けだからでしょう。まあ、お値段なりに、お手軽に楽しめます。

    Kailua Bay 2-Hour Guided Kayaking Tour with Lunch - Explore Tide Pools & More!

    2-hour guided tour

    Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

    The location was amazing! I would definitely recommend this to first timers to kayaking and hawaii. This was my boyfriend's first trip to hawaii and I wanted to show him what hawaii had to offer. This tour was the cherry on top. Kailua Beach is one of the best/beautiful beaches on the island. I felt more secure doing the guided tour since I have never went ocean kayaking before. Drew, our tour guide, was the coolest and he passionately knew everything about the location and wildlife. We actually flipped over in our kayak. It wasn't that scary since we had life jackets and the other kayakers and tour guide helped us back on our kayak. I'm glad we flipped cuz after we got situated back on our kayak which was further away from the group, we wouldn't have seen the sea turtle that was swimming by.
    The tour started with paddling to an island 2-3 miles away. We explored the island listening to stories and facts from the tour guide for about 30-40minutes. After that we kayaked back

    Self-guided kayacking rental :0

    Reviewed by: Caylah

    One of my favorite activities of the trip! We opted for the all day rental which is a steal at $59!! I was a first timer but my partner is, at least, intermediate. I had so much fun! On the all day rental you can keep the kayack for 8 hours but we only went out for about 5 hours...its def. a workout! We were able to paddle out to different uninhabited islands and explore and snorkle. I like the idea of the self guided all day rental bc we werent on a time line and we were ale to go at our own pace. However, if youre a beginner i would def. recommend the kayacking tour. A few of them stopped by the island when we were there and everyone seemed to be having a great time, as did we!! It was great to spend the day in the sun while doing something different... i can only lay on the beach for so many days before i get bored :) If your considering the kayacking tour or just rental...do it, you wont be disappointed!

    Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

    Before I book this activity I thought as an individual, they will put myself on the "parachute" only, but they weren't, they simply put me with two other strangers together, I don't even know them, I feel so bad. That's why I didn't leave them a penny. The shuttle drivers is a nice guy, I leave him 10 bucks.

    楽しかったぁ！　初めてでも乗れました♪

    Reviewed by: おきゃん

    参加したのは、主人だったのですが、とても楽しかったようです。13歳の女の子からカップルまで、日本人3人を含む10名ほどの参加者がいたようです。

    3人のスタッフが付いてくれ、基本的な説明のあと、遠浅（ほんとに遠浅の海です。えっと思う場所まで置きに出ても足がつきます）へボードを持っていきます。

    初心者でもボードに立ち、波に乗ることができたとのことでした。日ごろ運動をしない主人は、午後から筋肉痛で腕が痛いと話していましたが、ニコニコと嬉しそうに「いたい~」と話していました（笑）

    また、想い出になる写真のデータをCDで販売していました。30ドルとなりますが、主人がボードに乗っている姿を連写してくれている写真などが含まれているので、とても楽しい想い出の写真になりました。写真には、一緒にスクールに参加した方も含まれます。これもすてきな想い出になりました。
    私は、別のツアーに参加していたため、直接様子を見ていないのですが、主人がボードに乗り、波に乗り、そして・・・ボードから落ちていく姿が克明に写されいて、実際の様子に話が盛り上がりました。

    参加した全員が置きに出ますので、自分たちを写真にはなかなか撮れません。CDには、当日の様子以外にもハワイの素敵な写真が入っていましたので購入をお勧めします。

    I was worried about this activity, but it turned out to be a great experience. Our instructor, Johnny, was attentive, motivated and dedicated to the 3 of us that he was teaching. He kept us going for the 2 hours we were in the water, even when we felt to tired to continue.

    Note: You have to be in good physical condition to undertake this activity, it is exhausting, but worth it

    We had a great time on our kayak trip, however our originally scheduled trip was cancelled due to heavy rains. Unless you love lots of RAIN... do not visit Hawaii in December! My husband is not a strong swimmer, so we avoided any waves near the islands. The water was not as clear as I expected, but it was very fun, none the less!

    Reviewed by: Rene Jaceldo

    I booked this kayaking trip with some anxiety since I was taking along my nephew who's previous experience in swimming was strictly in swimming pools and boogie boarding in the Texas gulf coast. I was pleasantly surprised how enjoyable and safe this adventure turned out to be. Our instructor, Bailey Coogersberger (I'm not sure of the spelling), a Korean American chef out of Georgia was most helpful, and very patient with his instructions and very knowledgeable of the terrain, flora/fauna not to mention the folklore of the area which made for an educational trip to boot. He even shared some places where we could get some good local eating, being a former chef myself. Incidentally, I did check those he recommended and very happy that i did. More power to your company and will definitely recommend this trip if you have that extra day to spare.

    Family Fun kayaking to Flat Island

    Our family of 6 had a great time on the 2 hour kayak tour to Flat Island! Our guide Cyrus was very knowledgeable about the island and the near-by beaches. He also shared a few Hawaiian stories explaining the history of Flat Island and some of the flowers growing there. All in all, I'd recommend the activity to anyone interested in kayaking the crystal clear waters of the eastern Oahu shore. And if you're a more experienced kayaker, or in better shape than us, try the 4-hr tour!

    This parasailing experience is awesome. The kids had a great time (it helped that I offered $20 for a "really good ride.) A crew member even offered to take pictures with my camera for me rather than charge for using theirs (and he took some really unique ones.) The crew was friendly. The shuttle service was on time (though we could have done without the pet bird in the cruise.) I highly recommend this company.

    Firstly,at best my partner is a moderate swimmer, so she really isn't confident in the water.

    We booked a 4 hour kayaking activity with some apprehension. I can honestly say it was the best day of our holiday.

    Not only because Lanakai beach was fantastic but mainly because of the young staff, like Andy and Nick our guides. The staff don't wrap you up in cotton wool. They are young, laid back but professional if needed and full of local knowledge.

    Super, super day. Many thanks. Mandy and Mark (UK)
