While driving in Kailua, I saw people kayaking towards an island, and I just had to try it myself, so I quickly returned to the hotel and signed up for a guided tour.
My 9-year-old son and my 70-year-old father, along with the whole family, enjoyed it. While paddling towards the island, the staff kept a watchful eye on us, which made us feel safe. The beauty of the ocean goes without saying, and once we landed on the island, they provided explanations about nature in Japanese, which was very informative.
For lunch, we chose pizza, and it was incredibly delicious, which surprised us. The slices were large, so I was worried about whether we could finish them, but they were so tasty that our whole family devoured them.
I'm really glad I participated since it's an experience you can't easily have in Japan! This is an activity I want to repeat.
カイルアをドライブしていてカヤックで島に向っていく様子をみかけたので、どうしてもやりたくなって、早速ホテルに帰ってガイド付きのコースを申し込みました。
9歳の息子も70歳の父も家族全員で楽しめました。島にむかって漕いでいる間はスタッフが目をくばってくれるので、安心です。海の美しさは言わずもがな、島に上陸してからも自然についての説明を日本語で行ってくれるのでとってもためになりました。
ランチで私達はピザを選びましたが、このピザのおいしさがとんでもなくおいしく、びっくり。スライスが大きいので食べれるか心配でしたが、あまりのおいしさに家族みんなぺろりでした。
日本ではなかなか経験できないので参加して本当によかった!リピートしたいアクティビティです。

The activity is a lot of fun. The jet skis were in good condition, easy to ride, and quite fast. The staff took care to provide instruction. We were a bit disappointed to have to ride around a fairly small triangular course, but we had plenty of room for each rider.
There was a lot of waiting: the pickup was 10 minutes late. When we arrived at the location we waited to sign in, then saw a safety video, then waited 20 minutes for a boat to take us to the jet ski platform, then waited on the platform for our turn. After our ride we waited on the platform for a boat to take us back to shore, then waited for our photos, then waited for the van to take us back to town. All in all, for a 30-minute activity it was a LOT of waiting. Don't make plans that depend on being back in town early!
Also, although there is an online system that allows sign-up for solo or tandem rides, and assigned ride times, it turned out that they had 10 solo riders signed up for the 1:30 time slot, which was a

It was my first time kayaking, and I enjoyed it thanks to the gentle and easy-to-understand instructions.
During the snorkeling and snack time on land, I felt the warmth of Kevin and Noni's personalities, which was very soothing.
It would have been perfect if dolphins or whales had shown up.

This was reccommended for all levels. I do not agree. We had several children who were not able to paddle and it made it very hard for the adult in that boat. My parents are in their seventies, the guides were nice enough to pull them. The tour was great my family was not the type of customer that needed to be on this tour. We were allowed out of the kayak to snorkle, a very nice spot, but we had to climb on rocks to take a break. The sea cave was neat but not exactly what I was expecting. We ahd to ask to jump off the cliffs - I am not sure they usually do that although it is in the description. The dolphin and whales were no where to be seen. think there are better snorkling tours available unless you are strong and love to kayak.
However the staff and company was great.

This was a lesson in English. I mistakenly made a reservation for an English lesson instead of a Japanese one...
The other participants were also foreigners, and I couldn't understand most of the explanations, but it was really fun.
The instructor helped us catch the waves properly. Even though it was my first time, I was able to stand up, and I'm glad I signed up.
Since it was a male instructor, I think he was especially kind to the women (laughs).
They took a lot of photos during surfing, and those who wanted could buy them on a DVD-R for $30. Tips are separate, and there is a tip box after the lesson.
There were two instructors, but the one who said he was from California was particularly very kind and cool.
The rainbow I saw while being rocked by the waves was beautiful and became a wonderful memory.
こちらは英語でのレッスンでした。日本語レッスン希望だったのに違えて予約してしまいました....。
他の参加者も外国人で説明等もほとんど分かりませんでしたが、すごく楽しかったです。

男性インストラクターなので女性には特に優しいと思います(笑)
サーフィン中の写真もたくさん撮ってくれて、希望者はDVDーRにして30$で買えます。チップは別で終わった後にチップボックスがあります。

I participated in this for my honeymoon. It was my first time trying kayaking and snorkeling, but I was able to do it after a brief lecture before departure. I'm not good with water to the point where I can't even put my face in, but I swam in the sea for the first time while snorkeling. I saw many tropical fish. The fruit during the break was also incredibly delicious.

I highly recommend it! I usually struggle with group activities, so this was my first time participating in something like this, but the local staff were incredibly friendly and naturally made it fun to learn, creating a warm and relaxed atmosphere. On the day of the activity, the wind wasn't too strong, so we paddled to Lanikai Beach and enjoyed the beautiful beach before heading to a deserted island. Lanikai has crystal-clear waters that are breathtaking, fine sand, and we even spotted some sea turtles in the distance... you absolutely have to experience it at least once. In the afternoon, we had some free time, so I rented a bike and rode for about 10 minutes to Kailua Shopping Center. There are many unique shops that you won't find in Ala Moana, and I really enjoyed shopping there.
ぜひオススメします!グループで動くのがニガテなのでこういうアクティビティに参加するのは初めてでしたが、現地スタッフがとにかく自然に楽しそうに親切に教えてくれるので、ほんわかとした雰囲気でのんびり楽しむことができました。当日はあまり風も強くなかったので、ラニカイ・ビーチまでこぎ、美しいビーチを堪能してから、無人島をめざしました。ラニカイはうっとりするほど澄んだ海、サラサラの砂、少し遠くにウミガメの姿も見え・・とにかく一度味わってみてください。午後はフリータイムがあったので、レンタル自転車を10分ほどこぎ、カイルアショッピングセンターへ。アラモアナにはない個性的なお店が多く、買い物も楽しめました。

I was afraid I wouldn't be able to handle it but after the initial nervousness of being submerged, I was able to see all the wonderful sites of colorful fish and sea turtles and my hair didn't even get wet!!!

Paddle surfing was really fun!
At first, I was worried about whether I could stand on the board, but when I cautiously stood up, it felt strange.
It was a bit wobbly and scary where the waves were, but once I got the hang of handling the paddle, it was truly enjoyable!
I want to participate again!

It was my first time kayaking, and it was a lot of fun. We sat in a two-person boat, going upstream for about an hour. Then we walked through the jungle, during which the guide taught us various things. We had lunch in front of a waterfall and then returned to where we started by kayak.
I think it's fine to wear a swimsuit underneath with a shirt and shorts. I would recommend avoiding athletic shoes or flip-flops, as the paths in the jungle are quite muddy and your feet will get messy. We rented sports sandals from the tour company for a fee.
Of course, since the guide speaks only English, I think it would be more enjoyable if you understand English.
カヤックは初めてでしたが、とても楽しかったです。
2人乗りのボートに前後で座って、1時間弱ぐらい上流へ行きます。そのごジャングルの中を歩きながら進みますが、その途中でガイドさんが色々なことを教えてくれます。滝の前で昼食を食べその後カヤックで出発したところに戻ります。
服装は水着を中にきてシャツと短パンでOKだと思います。
運動靴やビーチサンダルは止めておいたほうが良いと思います。ジャングルの中はかなりの泥道で足がぐちゃぐちゃになります。私たちは、お金を払ってツアー会社からスポーツサンダルを借りました。
もちろんガイドさんは全て英語の為英語がわかるほうが楽しめると思います。

The last time I went to Hawaii, I visited Kailua Beach, but that time I only had free time on the beach and ended up with too much time on my hands. This time, I decided to join a kayak tour.
It's a small uninhabited island close to the beach, and the guide spoke in Japanese, which made it quite enjoyable. They also teach you how to paddle a kayak at the beginning, so I think it's a tour that's easy for beginners to join.
前回ハワイに行ったときにもカイルアビーチに行ったのですが、その時は浜辺で自由行動だけだったので、時間を持て余してしまい、今回はカヤックツアー付きにしてみました。
浜辺から近い小さい無人島なのですが、日本語でガイドしてくれて結構楽しかったです。カヤックの漕ぎ方も最初に教えてくれるので初心者の方にも参加しやすいツアーだと思います。

This is a Fantastic way to spend 1/2 of a day. The crew and Captain couldn't have been any nicer or more informative. The ride out to the dive/snorkeling site was fairly short, and the snorkeling was awesome. My husband really enjoyed the snubbing, I tried, but was unable to actually do it, the instructor tried her best to help me, but after several attempts I decided to stick with the snorkeling, which worked for me, because as I stated, it was awesome. We saw lots of beautiful fish. The second site they took us to had several turtles, and even more beautiful fish the closer you ventured into the coral. They provided a nice lunch, and continental breakfast. I had booked this activity a month or so in advance, and was really looking forward to it...I was not disappointed.

My husband and I were island-hopping on our honeymoon when we participated in the Zipline Safari with Hiking and Kayaking in Kauai. One of our guides said he felt it was his job to make us fall in love with his island, and this tour certainly helped us do that. The price was fair for all of the inclusions of the tour, and the lunch provided was more than enough food. We had never been kayaking, but the river was very smooth and calm, so we were able to keep up and didn't have any issues. The hikes, swimming spots, stories, and "history lessons" were amazing. I have never seen such a beautiful forest. The Zipline was awesome as well and our guides took every safety precaution necessary to make us feel at ease. I would definitely recommend this activity for anyone looking for a more physical adventure. Be sure to wear a bathing suit, sunscreen, and bring hiking sandals or water socks because you should definitely get wet!

I thought kayaking might be tough for us as a couple in our fifties, but we only felt a bit tired in our arms and managed to paddle all the way to the island offshore. Along the way, a sea turtle came very close to our kayak, which was really lucky. It will be a lifelong memory.
