I did a mid week kayak trip with Kauai Kayak. Instructor was excellent, gear provided was in good shape, and the lunch was fresh and delicious. The walk portion described as “along the river bank” was challenging as we walked over large river rock and then through streams, boulders, and mud to reach the falls. The company provides an excellent trip and I would easily recommend them to anyone interested in a fun and challenging half day.

It was our first time to parasail. We absolutely loved it! We never felt scared or unsafe. It was very exciting and fun. We went in a triple tandem and loved every minute of it. We wanted to schedule another outing but due to the holidays we couldn't fit it it. I highly recommend Hawaiian Parasail!!

In the morning, we were picked up at our hotel and taken by van to pick up other customers for the day. The driver and instructor was a Japanese-Brazilian man who had lived in Japan, so it was nice to chat with him during the ride. There were three of us participating, and one person was able to switch from kayaking to stand-up paddleboarding, which was helpful. Once we got out to sea, the guidance and advice about the current points and areas to be cautious of were accurate, allowing us to feel safe while riding. Carrying the boards and kayaks by ourselves was quite hard, but overall, we had a great time. For lunch, we could choose from the shop within the facility. Last time we had pizza, and this time we had a plate lunch. There was also a shop for marine goods, and during our free time, we could go shopping in Kailua.
朝は滞在のホテルまでピックUPしてもらえ、バンで次々とその日のお客様をピックアップです。
ドライバー兼インストラクターの男性は日本での生活歴のある日系の方でしたので道中も話しながら向かうことが出来たので良かったです。
三人で参加したのですが、一人カヤックからSUPにしていただけたので助かりました。
海に出てからも流れのポイントや注意する場所では声がけとアドバイスも的確で安心して乗れました。
自分でボードやカヤックを運ぶのは結構ハードでしたが、ひっくるめて楽しく過ごせました。
ランチも施設内のショップで選ぶことが出来ます。
前回はピザ、今回はプレートランチ、マリングッズのショップもあり、フリータイムにはカイルアにショッピングも可能です。

What an amazing experience. The kayaks are great. They are sit-on-top kayaks which makes them much easier to get back on should you capsize or after you get out at the sandbar. The team shows you everything you need to know about the Kayak, how to get out to the sandbar and how to find your way back.
A short 30-45 min paddle out to the sandbar and you are in heaven. Get out in calm, waist deep, crystal clear, warm ocean water and look all around at the beauty and peacefulness nature provides. This was probably the most relaxed I was during the entire vacation. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone.
Aloha Ed! What an amazing review! Thank you so much for coming to see us for a Kane'ohe Bay kayaking adventure. I am so glad to hear it sounds like you had a great experience. And I cannot thank you enough for taking the time to leave such wonderful, positive feedback. That really means a lot to us and we really appreciate it. Hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!

This tour was an absolute blast. Luckily, my girlfriend and I came to Hawaii the week after the state opened up following the Covid-19 restrictions, so there weren't many people on the island. Likewise, the tour only ended up being the two of us. Our tour guide (and owner of the tour company), Steve, was amazing. He led us through the waters and taught us both how to kayak. He even went out of his way and taught us how to paddleboard too! Also, he was very knowledgeable about Hawaii and the surrounding waters. Steve provided us with a lot of advice on what we should do/stay/eat during our stay. And to make it even better, we saw plenty of sea turtles and coral beneath our glass bottom kayak! On top of all this, Steve stayed with us a little while longer on the water to answer our questions and to talk more about Hawaii. All in all, the tour went above and beyond our expectations. The next time we go back to Hawaii, we will definitely book another tour with this company!

It was our first scuba dive experience and we could not have had a better time!
All thanks to our instructor, Zola, he was super helpful from diving safety to the techniques and made us enjoy every second of the dive.
We want to point out and send a special thanks to Zola on how patient he was. He made sure I was comfortable in the water, since I was a bit scared at first, still getting used to the equipment and picking up the new breathing pattern.
We'll definitely do it again!

It was the last day of our graduation trip, and I was completely exhausted, but the refreshing experience made it all worth it. After being taken by boat to the boarding area on the water, we had to wait about 30 minutes, which felt a bit long, but the friendly staff chatted with us in English, helping to pass the time. We went as a group of six, and we were told we could jump in, so some of us did just that and had fun splashing around—though I think we probably weren't supposed to!
At first, I struggled to operate the jet ski, but I gradually got the hang of it and by the end, I was zooming around at full throttle on the water. The riding time was 30 minutes, but after 15 minutes, we returned to the boarding area and then went back out for another 15 minutes. I believe this was to turn on the camera attached to the boat and to allow for a switch if you were riding in pairs.
Also, if you don't bring your own goggles, you'll need to rent them for $10, so be careful about that. If you're debating between riding solo or in pairs, I definitely recommend going solo. A friend who rode in pairs mentioned that it was quite difficult to maneuver. Plus, since the riding time is short at just 30 minutes, riding solo makes it easier to control and ensures you can enjoy it longer than if you were in pairs. In Japan, you need a license for jet skiing, so make sure to enjoy this experience in Hawaii!
卒業旅行の最終日ということもあり疲労困憊でしたが、そんなものもぶっ飛ぶ爽快感でした。ボートで海上の乗り場まで連れていってもらったあとの待ち時間は30分ほどと長めでしたがスタッフの人がフレンドリーに話しかけてきてくれたり(英語)と暇を潰せました。6人組で行きましたが飛び込んでいいよと言われたので飛び込んで遊んでるやつもいました笑多分やっちゃダメですが。ジェットスキーは最初は操作が思うように行きませんでしたが徐々に慣れていき最後はフルスロットルで水上を走り回っていました。乗る時間は30分ですが15分たったら一旦乗り場に戻ってまた15分間乗るという感じでした。おそらくボートにつけているカメラのスイッチをONにするのと2人乗りであればそこで交代するための行程だと思います。あと、ゴーグルは持っていってないと10ドルでレンタルすることになるので注意が必要です。それに1人乗りか2人乗りで悩んでいるなら断然1人乗りをおすすめします。なぜなら2人乗りでジェットスキーをしていた友達が言うにはかなり操縦が難しいと言っていたからです。それに30分と短い時間なので1人乗りのほうが操縦がしやすく2人乗りよりも長く楽しめること間違いないです。ジェットスキーは日本では免許がいるのでこのハワイで是非とも楽しんでください。
ありがとう!またすぐにお会いしましょう!
Mahalo! See you again soon!

We participated in the early morning plan. The guides taught us patiently, and even as a couple in our 50s who were kayaking for the first time, we were able to fully enjoy the waters of Hawaii. We didn't have the chance to look for dolphins, but we had a wonderful time snorkeling and seeing beautiful fish. The guide took various photos for us, and we received them later, which turned out to be a lovely collection of memories. Thank you very much.

We participated as a family of four. My husband, who has a fear of heights, watched and took photos from the boat, while I flew with our 5-year-old and 9-year-old children. It was my first experience as well, but the kids were constantly excited. It was a bit cold up in the air, but there was a rainbow, and the scenery was amazing. The staff on the boat were also very entertaining. Even the next day and the day after that, and after we returned home, the kids keep saying they want to do it again!
家族4人で参加させて頂きました。
高所恐怖症の主人はボートで見学&写真撮影、5歳と9歳の子供と私の3人で飛びました。私も初体験でしたが、子供たちはずーっと興奮しっぱなしでした。上空は少し寒かったですが、丁度虹もかかっていたり景色も最高でした。ボートにのってくれたスタッフの方もとても面白かったです^ ^
次の日もその次の日も、そして帰ってきてからも子供たちは、またやりたーい!と言っています。
