Wailua River Kayak & Secret Falls Hike - Guided Kauai Adventure

Fantastic!

Reviewed by: Mike G

Our guide, Logan, was absolutely fantastic. The hike was great, and three generations of our family were able to do it, from 70 years old to 7 years old. The kayaking was calm and pleasant, and the waterfall was truly amazing. We got plenty of time at the waterfall, and it wasn’t too crowded- we got photos of just our family in the waterfall. This was a highlight of our entire Hawaii trip!

Aloha Mike, Logan with his stentorian voice...and enthusiasm shines both in the field + he is great to work with. Glad to hear that you enjoyed his particular brand of aloha and the falls.

Come back again and we can share with you some other beautiful aspects of our beautiful island.

Thanks for sharing.

A hui hou,

Kaneohe Bay Kayak & Snorkel Self-Guided Tour [Tour Not Available]

It was the highlight of my vacation!

Reviewed by: Rob M

I can’t believe it took this long for me to try this excursion. It is an activity I will add to every visit to Oahu. The experience and view is like no other. I was a little worried because I have a younger child (11 yrs old) and we have been kayaking in the past but it only took us 35 minutes to get to the sandbar. Once the rust shook off we were able to get back in 25 minutes. The people on-site were very helpful and supportive. They made sure you had everything you need snorkel equipment, life vests, and dry bags. I would suggest the eight hour if you plan to snorkel at another location outside of the sandbar. That way you can conserve your energy for paddling back.

Kaneohe Sandbar Tour with Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Live Hawaiian Music - Kaneohe Bay Ocean Sports

Highlight of the family trip

Reviewed by: STB

Beautiful scenery, super kind staff, wonderful music. Tried kayak, snorkel and it was so fun. Water was so clear, I could see fish so close it was beautiful. Only thing is the time could be longer. We got to the sandbar about 9:30 and left around 12pm. I wish I could have more time so I could try other activities like volleyball and paddle board. The boat was full with over 100 people but didn’t feel like it was packed. Especially when we got to the sandbar, people were more spread out. Overall, the tour was way better than expected and definitely want to do it again!! Thank you!

Hawaiian Parasailing Tour & Adventure from Waikiki Beach [800ft & 1000ft Lines]

Up, Up and Away!!

Reviewed by: Pola

I was scared to do this at first, but it was worth every second and every penny spent!!

The captain and crew were friendly, gave clear instructions and seemed to know what they were doing.

I would recommend anyone who typically suffers from seasickness, or who hasn't done this before to have some medication for that handy, but by all means, get this experience under your belt and thank me later!

Kaneohe Sandbar Tour with Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Live Hawaiian Music - Kaneohe Bay Ocean Sports

Best excursion ever !!

Reviewed by: Valerie Bayley

My daughter Crystal and I went to the Kaneohe sandbar on July 26. Although it started with a little rain, it didn't damper (pun intended, lol) our adventure. We were greeted by a great team on board the catamaran. Especially Jesse, such a wonderful guy. He and another band member sang and played great music to and from the sandbar. Everyone were such fun and really made us feel special. We celebrated Crystal's birthday. We even were surprised with a private tender boat ride to go see a beautiful sea turtle very close to our boat. So fantastic! Thank you all for a unforgettable day.

5-in-1 Waikiki Fun Cruise with Snorkeling, Water Slide, Trampoline, Kayak & SUP - E Sea Diver

Afternoon Deluxe Snorkel and water sports package experience

Reviewed by: Angela

Luna, Alex, Evan and Capt. Eric (All the crew) were terrific, super friendly and overall helpful. It was such a enjoyable, fun, memorable experience especially if you are booking this with kids. The only thing is to make sure that you bring snacks or food aboard which they inform you about on their instructions as they only provide light snacks (protein bars, water, and lemonade)

Lastly, it can get really crowded on the boat. And so, check in as early as possible to secure your spot inside the boat especially if you are traveling with your family.

Kaneohe Bay Kayak & Snorkel Self-Guided Tour [Tour Not Available]

Kayaking

Reviewed by: Shellley

This was such a blast! My daughter and I rented a tandem canoe and spent a glorious day around the reef fields. We would come up on a drop off, drop anchor in a shallow area and then just turn on the GoPro and swim down the reef wall with the schools of fish as our guides. Many different species of fish, a few octopus, and sea snakes. We could also hear the “crackling” of the coral (which sounds like Rice Krispies in milk), which was something you can’t appreciate when you’re in large groups of people because of the noise. Amazing experience— would do it again, but be sure and bring your “reef safe” sunscreen.

Parasail/Jet Ski

This was the most organized excursion we went on, everyone was separated into even groups and told what activity they were going to do. Go Pro’s were used for both parasailing and Jet ski experience and the crew for parasail also took pictures while we were in the air. Everyone was very nice/helpful. Nothing felt rushed, we definitely got our money’s worth and would recommend future visitors to book with them ☺️

ハンズ・ヒーデマン サーフィンレッスン

Even beginners can ride the waves fairly well. 初心者でもそこそこ波に乗れます

Reviewed by: トミー

Since it was my first time and I was alone, I chose a private lesson. A Japanese instructor accompanied me. After a very simple lesson on land, we headed straight to the sea. Towards the end, paddling was a bit tough, but I had plenty of time to enjoy it. However, there weren't many instructions, so a private lesson might not have been necessary.

初めてで、1人だったのでプライベートを選びました。日本人のインストラクターがついてくれました。非常簡単な陸でのレッスンの後、すぐに海へ。最後の方パドルがきつかったですが、時間たっぷり楽しめました。ただインストラクションはあまり多くなかったので、プライベートにする必要はなかったかもしれません。

I had a fun experience!
I didn't realize how difficult it would be, and paddling out to the waves was so exhausting.
It was hard, but I had a great time.
Surfing is indeed challenging.
However, if I can experience it even a little, I might get hooked.
I learned the difference between surfing and bodyboarding.
The local instructor was seasoned, kind, and friendly, which made it enjoyable as well.
It became a wonderful memory.
Thank you very much!

Molokini Crater & Turtle Arches Snorkeling Tour & Snuba Dive - Aqua Adventures

Amazing Crew

Reviewed by: Carly

The captain and his crew were outstanding and made the experience amazing. They were professional, attentive, informative and fun! The snorkeling and snuba spots were so worthwhile.
The only bad part was the boat ride to the 2nd location, but it was because of the wind and the amount of water that sprayed up. The crew warned us about it and offered other places for everyone to sit.

Booking was very easy and they did a nice job of working with us since not all of our parties made it on the same boat at first. It was not the nicest day but the crew on board did there best to keep up safe and allow us to have fun at the same time. I loved that the had live singing as well as lunch for everyone. Another plus was that there was restrooms. I couldn't complain about all of the different activities that we could do. Book the banana ride ahead of time is my only tip!

It was so much fun! とにかく楽しい!

Reviewed by: ハワイ初旅行

I chose jet skiing, parasailing, and banana boating! I was taken from the pickup location to a boat on the water, where I participated in each activity. There were several people who spoke Japanese and a few others who understood it, so I didn't have much trouble with conversation or explanations. They engaged with me a lot, which made the waiting time not boring at all. Each activity was very enjoyable, and they took proper safety precautions, so I think it was a satisfying day. It was really great that I could purchase photos and videos after the activities!

ジェットスキー、パラセーリング、バナナボートを選択しました!
ピックアップ場所から水上にある船に連れて行ってもらい、そこでそれぞれのアクティビティに参加させていただきました。
日本語を話せる方が何人かいらっしゃるのと、日本語がわかる方がその他数人いらっしゃったので、会話や説明にはあまり困らず、たくさん話しかけていただいて、待ち時間もあまり退屈しませんでした。
それぞれのアクティビティもとても楽しく、安全にもきちんと配慮してくださり、満足のいく日になったと思います。写真や動画も、アクティビティのあと購入できたので本当に良かったです!

Full day with food

Reviewed by: TK

The staff was outstanding and fun. The 10-minute boat ride was informative and not bad at all for those afraid of seasickness.

The pesto chicken wrap that came with the full day package was dry, it needed extra dressing. The included activities (kayak, paddle board, etc..) were good. Beach volleyball nets and balls were ok (bring your own ball if you have it), the sand had a lot of hard marble-sized cones from the surrounding trees, tough on the feet - good shade though.
