The kayaking experience to the uninhabited island was wonderful. Paddling out into the blue ocean by my own strength felt really good. However, the distance from the place where we rented the kayak to the sea was quite long, which was pretty tough. Also, since a lot of time was spent on the pre-activity briefing, the time we had to play with the kayak was surprisingly short. The pizza for lunch was delicious.
無人島へのカヤック体験は素晴らしかった。青い大海原に自分のチカラで漕ぎ出すのはとても気分がよかった。ただ、カヤックを借りる場所から海へ運ぶ距離が長く、結構大変でした。
また、事前の説明に時間を取られるのでカヤックで遊べる時間は意外と少なかったです。
昼食はビザがおいしかった。

Wonderful tour guide, knowledgable and hilarious. The workout was respectable, but offered great sights along the way that kept us interested, and an interesting hike through the Hawaiian woods. At the end the jump off a cliff into the river was tons of fun. I would definitely recommend this trip; a good mix of fun, beautiful sights, and physical exertion.

We've been to Oahu a couples of times and have always done different excursions. By far BOB's underwater scooter was the best one we have ever done! Everything from the pick to the drop off to our hotel was a great experience! Everyone on their team was extremely courteous and friendly. The water scooter itself was such an amazing experience. It was very easy and comfortable to ride the scooters. To be that comfortable and see the beauty of the underwater life was breathe taking. I high recommend not only this excursion but this company of you are looking for a lifetime of amazing memories!

I experienced surfing for the first time in Hawaii! I had heard that the waves in Hawaii are beginner-friendly, so I thought if I was going to try it, it should be in Hawaii. I challenged myself with my brother and cousin! Besides us, there were also a Japanese parent-child pair and two groups from English-speaking countries, making a total of about 11 people.
The lesson was said to be in English, but the explanation on land was given by someone who could speak Japanese. I was able to understand the basics here. The final explanation before entering the sea was in English, but I understood it.
The trainer also spoke some simple Japanese! There were even some who could speak quite a bit of Japanese. At first, I was worried if I could do it, but once I got into the sea, I was amazed by the clarity of the water. And to my surprise, I was able to stand up on my first wave (laughs). Truly, it’s Hawaii! Truly, it’s the trainer! I had so much fun and challenged myself multiple times!
I think experiencing this in Hawaii was the right choice for me. I gained confidence from doing well, and I feel like I might get hooked on surfing! If I go to Hawaii again, I’ll definitely do it again!
初めてのサーフィンを、ハワイで体験しました!ハワイの波は初心者向けというのを昔聞いた事があったので、やるならハワイでと思っていました。弟と従姉妹と3人でチャレンジ!私達の他に日本人親子の方、
英語圏のグループの方が2組いて、全部で11人くらいいました。
英語でのレッスンと書いてありましたが、陸上での説明は日本語が話せる方がしてくれました。やり方など大体の事はここで理解出来ます。海に入る前の最終説明は英語でしたが、理解出来ました。
トレーナーさんも簡単な日本語で話してくれます!中には日本語が結構話せる方もいました。
最初は自分に出来るか不安でしたが、いざ海に入るとまず海の透明度に驚きました。そして初めての波乗りは、まさかの1発で立てました(笑)さすがハワイ!さすがトレーナーさん!と思いました。楽しくて何度も挑戦しました!
ハワイで体験した事が、私にとって正解だったと思います。上手く出来たことで自信がついたし、サーフィンにハマりそうです!またハワイに行ったらお願いします!

During the Obon holiday period, we were the only Japanese people there. The handsome staff member gave us instructions in Japanese, so we had no trouble at all.
They offered to take photos for $30, so we decided to go for it. They give you a CD right on the spot. There seemed to be a scratch on the lens, so every photo has a mark on it, but that's part of its charm. They even included some landscape photos.
The pictures are a bit monotonous since we're just flying, but only the staff can take photos of us up there (if you try to take turns in a group, you can only get tiny pictures since you can't stand up to take photos), so I thought $30 was a bit pricey, but I don't regret it at all☆
It felt really nice, so I want to go again.
I didn't experience the scary trolley that others mentioned; it was just normal driving.
お盆期間中でしたが日本人は私たちだけでした。

風景の写真までいれてくれてました
ただ飛んでるだけなので単調な写真ですが、上にいる私たちを撮影できるのはスタッフさんだけなので(グループでとりあいっこしても、立ちあがって撮影できないため豆粒みたいな写真しか撮れないと思います)30ドルは高いなーと思いましたが後悔はしていません☆
とっても気持ちよかったので、また行きたいです

There were a total of five people on the boat, including three Americans besides my son and me. We first used cards to determine the order, and the rule was to reel in fish in that order when we got a bite. However, after about four hours of running offshore, we ended up with no bites at all. The crew said, "This kind of day happens," but I felt like we wasted half a day of our trip to Hawaii, and the mental damage was significant.
私と息子以外に、アメリカ人3人を加えた合計5人の混載でした。最初にトランプを使って順番を決めて、竿に当たりがきたらその順番で釣り上げていくというルールなのですが、4時間くらい沖を走って結局一匹も当たりがありませんでした。クルーは「(英語)こんな日もある」と言っていましたが、ハワイ旅行の半日を無駄にしてしまった感じで、精神的ダメージが大きい。

This trip was one of our best yet! We have done several activities in Kauai and this one will be hard to beat. Jessie was our travel guide and he was wonderful. He was full of information about the island, he was easy to talk to and it's easy to see he loves what he does. We are a family of four with two teenage sons and all four of us enjoyed the entire day; that is not always an easy accomplishment! The kayaking was very fun, Hanalei Bay was amazing and the snorkel location was just beautiful. Our lunch on the beach was great and It was one of those memories that will last a life time. Jessie was very professional and made us feel very comfortable every step of the way. I would recommend this adventure to anyone!

The tour conductor was a couple, with a husband who spoke Japanese well and a Japanese wife. Since it was a tour just for our couple and our friends' couple, they adjusted to our pace. The kayak had a high backrest that provided good support for the waist, making it easy to paddle. It was wonderful to encounter cute dolphins. The wife took photos for us, and I look forward to them later.

My wife has a fear of heights, so she just watched while my son and I took on the challenge. Since it was our first time, we chose the lowest course, but we were able to enjoy such a wonderful view that it made us laugh. The photos taken by the guide can be purchased on an SD card. If my wife had managed to take pictures, we wouldn't have needed to buy them, but the guide's photos were beautiful, so I recommend purchasing them even if they are a bit pricey.
嫁は高所恐怖症なので見てるだけ、息子とふたりで挑戦しました。初めてなので一番低いコースにしましたが、思わず笑ってしまうぐらいの素晴らしい景色を堪能できました。ガイドさんが撮影した写真はSDカードで購入することができます。嫁ががんばって撮影すれば購入の必要はなかったのですが、やはり撮り慣れているガイドさんの写真はきれいでしたので、少々お高くても購入をお勧めします。

Enjoyed it, it was nice. It's worth the money for the SUP and the kayaking. However, not the snorkeling.
Water is too murky for it.
I think it would be good to allow the swimmers to sign a release to not have to wear a life jacket. The area they give you to paddle and kayak on is limited and very close to the shore area.

Good time was had by all. If you don't have good sea legs, the captain may allow you to snorkel around the boat weather permitting. Be prepared to wait for others to have their turn, but you can see the fish whilst waiting as they are used to come up for feeding. The team were friendly and well organised (expect to tip at the end), good activity, although it doesn't top scuba diving.

A car was waiting for us at the hotel at the meeting time! The person in charge of the shuttle was Mr. Yano, who is of Japanese descent. He was a very interesting person, speaking a mix of English and broken Japanese!
He had a round sticker and something like a paper band on his right arm, and after confirming the contents of the contract (which were all written in Japanese), we signed.
My friend and I requested a 9 AM pickup, and along with a Japanese family of three and a mother and child from New York, there were a total of seven of us.
When we arrived at the port and boarded the boat, the waves were really strong, and it was shaking a lot. I usually don't get motion sickness, but it was a good decision to take some anti-nausea medication!
We were called one group at a time, and it was finally time to start! Our group and the Japanese family were worried about the height, which was 45 meters. The mother and child from New York challenged the 120 meters. The view was amazing, and I felt so happy surrounded by the beautiful sky and sea!
Next time, I want to challenge either the 90 meters or 120 meters.
On the way back, Mr. Yano and I had a lively chat! It seems there are other people in charge of the shuttle as well, so those who got Mr. Yano were lucky!

While my friends and I were in Oahu, we knew we wanted to go kayaking. We were considering maybe just renting kayaks in Waikiki where we were staying, but we were concerned about just how crowded Waikiki Beach can get. My friend found this kayaking trip at Kailua Beach and we were sold. For about $80 we received kayak rentals, snorkel gear, lunch, and shuttle service. This kayaking adventure was definitely worth it! The staff were all extremely welcoming and helpful, and the water was absolutely beautiful. I am so glad we were able to discover Kailua Beach. When I read that this trip included lunch, I expected a paper bag lunch, something like sandwiches and chips. But in reality we were given a coupon that was redeemable at four locations by the kayaking shop. We chose to have pizza at Bob's, which was delicious and filling. We did this on our last day in Oahu, so it was a great ending to our vacation.
Mahalo for the review, Sam! We are so glad that you got to chance to make it out to Kailua and try kayaking!

It was my first experience, and I was satisfied to be able to stand on the surfboard. Since it was a shallow area, two friends who accompanied me got injured on their feet by rocks when they fell off the board. I think the water depth varies with the tides, but I believe it's important to be cautious about injuries during the experience.
初めての体験でしたが、サーフボードに立つことができ満足です。水深が浅い場所での体験でしたので、同行した友人2人は、ボードから落ちた際、岩で足を怪我をしました。潮の満ち引きにより水深は違うと思いますが、体験の際は怪我には注意されると良いと思います。
