This was my first experience with sea kayaking, and it was a lot of fun. At one point, I lost my balance and capsized, but our guide, Jordan, helped me get back on track quickly, and I was able to enjoy myself. The view on the uninhabited island was so beautiful that I wished I had brought my camera (they lend you waterproof bags). I definitely plan to bring it next time. Kailua Beach is really pleasant, and during the free time in the first half of the tour, it might be nice to lay out a rental mat and just relax. By the way, the teriyaki chicken in the lunch plate was also delicious.
今回シーカヤック初挑戦でしたが、大変楽しかったです。途中、バランスを崩して横転してしまいましたが、ガイドのジョーダン君にすぐに立て直してもらい、楽しく過ごせました。無人島では景色が良かったのでカメラを持ってくれば良かったと思いました(防水の荷物入れを貸してくれます)。次回は必ず持っていこうと思います。カイルアのビーチは本当に気持ちよく、ツアー前半の自由時間はレンタルのゴザを敷いてぼーっとするのも気持ち良いかもしれません。余談ですが、お昼のプレートランチのテリヤキチキンも美味しかったです。

The weather was great, and it became a wonderful memory.
Pulling the kayak from the shop to the sea might be tough for girls, but it's all part of the experience♪
The sea was even more beautiful than I imagined.
I was able to see sea turtles twice while kayaking (*^^*)
The snorkeling wasn't that great, but I was happy to have a choice for lunch. It was delicious.
Since we had some time, we went cycling around the town after lunch.
The timing was just right, and it was a great tour.
天気にも恵まれとてもいい思い出になりました。
店からカヤックを海まで引っ張っていくのは、女子にはきついかもだけど、

シュノーケルはあんまり…でしたが、ランチは選べて

I thought I could enjoy a relaxing snorkeling experience in Kailua's sea, but while the view of the ocean from the beach is beautiful, once you get in the water, the waves are high and it's murky, making it hard to see even a little bit ahead underwater. If you're not going into the sea and just want to spread out a beach mat to read or gaze at the ocean, this is a recommended course. Also, the pizza for lunch was hearty and delicious.
カイルアの海でのんびりシュノーケリングができると思って参加したのですが。浜から見る海は美しい。しかし、海に入ると波は高いし、濁っていてほんのちょっとの先も水中からでは見えない。海にはいらず、ビーチマットを広げて、読書とか海を眺めるのならおすすめのコースです。尚、昼食のピザはボリュームがあり、おいしかった。

When I visited last time, I couldn't do stand-up paddleboarding due to the wave height (so I went kayaking instead), so I came back again. Mieko, who is Japanese, and Mark, who speaks Japanese well, were very kind and taught us patiently, so both my friend and I were able to stand up from the very beginning. We landed on the island, and it was really fun! When I mentioned that I wanted to explore Kailua more on the way back, they arranged for cycling and even had an employee who was going to Waikiki drop us off... they took care of everything. There are other places where you can do stand-up paddleboarding, but I really recommend this one. I look forward to visiting again next time.
前回行った時に、波の高さでスタンドアップパドルが出来なかったので(その時はカヤックをしました)再度お伺いしました。日本人のミエコさん、日本語の上手なマークさんはとても親切で、丁寧に教えて頂いたので、友人も私も最初から立つ事が出来ました。島まで上陸、本当に楽しかったです!また帰りももっとカイルアを散策したいと伝えたところ、サイクリングの手配やちょうどワイキキに行く従業員の方が送ってくださる様に話して頂いたり・・・何から何までお世話になりました。スタンドアップパドルが出来るところは他にもありますが、こちらは本当におすすめです。次回もまた宜しくお願いします。

In my case, during winter, I usually enjoy water activities in places like Cebu, so honestly, this tour was disappointing.
The snorkeling was not enjoyable due to strong waves and the beach wasn't very clean, so I didn't feel like doing it...
The sea kayaking to the uninhabited island was also a complete letdown; the ocean was not what I expected, and during this time of year, Oahu is cold, making water activities entirely disappointing.

We participated as a couple in our mid-50s. Unfortunately, it was windy and rainy, but we made it to the Twin Islands via Flat Island.
Since it was a self-guided plan, I initially struggled with how to paddle, but once I got the hang of it, I managed to move forward.
Even in the reef, the wind was strong, creating waves, and especially when leaving the Twin Islands, I had to time my paddling with the waves to avoid getting tossed around, which was a bit challenging.
The distance to the Twin Islands is about 3 km one way, but we were able to make the round trip in about two and a half hours, which surprised the staff.
However, it was quite cold due to the rain and wind, so we couldn't relax much even after landing on the island. We also couldn't go snorkeling.
It was quite tough, but it was a valuable experience that you can't easily have while in Japan. Reaching the Twin Islands gives you a sense of accomplishment.
Canoeing wasn't difficult even for an amateur like me at my age. Plus, wearing a life jacket made it safe.
What I regret is not being able to relax and snorkel in the beautiful sea or explore the Twin Islands. I would like to try again when the weather is better.
(The photo is from when we landed on the Twin Islands.)
50代半ばの夫婦で参加しました
あいにくの風と雨でしたが
フラット島経由で双子の島まで行ってきました。
ガイド無しプランだったため
最初はどのように漕いだらよいか悩みましたが、なれれば何とか前へ進むものです。
リーフの中でも風が強いと波があり、特に双子の島からの離岸は波の引くタイミングを見計らって漕ぎ出さないと波にもまれる可能性がありちょっと大変でした。
双子の島までは片道3kmほど有りますが2時間半ほどで往復できスタッフの方もビックリされていました。
でも、本当は雨と風でじっとしていると寒くて島に上陸してもユックリしていられなかったのです。
シュノーケリングも出来ませんでした。
結構大変でしたが、日本にいるとなかなか出来ない貴重な体験が出来ました。

Transporting the sea kayak to the ocean might be a bit challenging... It feels tough with just two girls. It might be better to go with guys.
Once you're out on the sea, it's incredibly refreshing, and landing on a deserted island for a walk is fun. The beauty of the ocean is exceptional!!
When I can properly ride the sea kayak, I felt like I could drift on the waves for hours ❤️
As for whether I would do it again... Thinking back to the time we transported the sea kayaks... I might hesitate a little. It was that tough (laughs). Definitely something to consider if two girls are signing up together!!!!
シーカヤックを海まで運ぶことが大変かも・・・
女子二人だとキツい感じです。男子とご一緒が良いかも。

I participated in a company trip with four guys, and the kayaking experience in the best beaches and ocean of Hawaii became the highlight of this trip. The weather was great that day, and the waves were calm, so we made good progress. After arriving at the island and receiving explanations about its historical background, the four of us got excited and enjoyed kayaking with the instructor. Since we had to paddle against the waves to reach the surfing point, teamwork was essential, and it took quite a bit of physical effort. We capsized several times, but when we caught a wave, it felt amazing!
Afterward, we were really tired, but it was a good kind of fatigue, like all the built-up stress in our bodies was released, leaving us with a sense of accomplishment and euphoria. If you're going to Hawaii, shopping and dining are great, but the ocean is definitely the main attraction! Next time I go to Hawaii, I’ll participate again with my wife.
社員旅行でおじさん4人で参加しましたが、ハワイの最高のビーチと海でのカヤック体験は今回の旅で1番の思い出になりました。当日は天候もよく波も穏やかであったため、割とスイスイと進みました。島に到着、いろいろ歴史的背景について説明を受けた後、我々4人はテンション上がりインストラクターとカヤックサーフィンを楽しみました。波乗りポイントまでは波に逆らって進むので、チームワーク必要でしたし、結構体力使いました。何度も転覆しましたが、波に乗れたときはサイコーの気分でした^0^/
終わった後はとれも疲れましたが、いい疲労感というか、体の中の溜まった澱みたいなものが全部はき出した感じで、達成感と浮遊感でいっぱいでした。
ハワイいくなら、買い物や食事もいいけど、やっぱり海ですよね~。次回ハワイ行くときは、奥さんとまた参加します。

I chose a guided tour.
First, we went snorkeling at Kailua Beach, but the waves were quite high, making it tough to swim without fins. It was also surprisingly deep.
After that, we enjoyed a delicious pizza the size of a face, and then kayaked to Flat Island. The transfer from the shop seemed challenging for just the girls, but once we got to the sea, we paddled hard following the guide. It really takes a lot of stamina.
The guide at Flat Island was also very good. I definitely recommend going with a guide.
Lastly, please remember that for this tour, you will need to change out of your swimsuit on the way back, so don't forget to bring a change of clothes.

I chose this tour because my stay was longer compared to others. The beach is close, but it takes about 20 minutes on foot to get to Kailua Town, so I think it's better to rent a bike if you're going to Kailua Town. However, if you relax on the beach for about an hour, you might only have time to visit the Kailua Shopping Center and Whole Foods. If you want to enjoy Kailua Town without engaging in sea activities and just take a stroll on the beach, I think it's better to use a bus or other means of transportation instead of an optional tour. This tour is not one that provides recommendations like "especially this is recommended" or "the view from here is great," so it's better to think of it as a tour that includes transportation, coin lockers, mat rentals, and lunch. Kailua Beach was very beautiful.
滞在時間がほかに比べて長かったためこちらのツアーに申し込みました。ビーチまでは近いのですが、カイルアタウンまでは徒歩で20分くらいかかるので、カイルアタウンに行く場合は自転車のレンタルを利用したほうがよいと思います。ただビーチで1時間ほどのんびりしてしまうとカイルアショッピングセンターとホールフーズくらいしか行くことができません。海のアクティビティはせずに、ビーチは散策程度でカイルアタウンを楽しみたいという方はオプショナルツアーではなくバスなどを利用したほうがよいと思います。このツアーは「特にここがおススメ」「ここからの眺めがいい」とか、案内をしてくれるツアーではありませんので、移動手段+コインロッカー+ゴザレンタル+ランチがついたツアーと思ったほうがよいです。カイルアビーチはとてもきれいでした。

There is a Japanese guide available, so it's reassuring to have someone who speaks Japanese. It would have been better if the shuttle bus driver spoke Japanese as well.
The operation of the kayak and paddling is manageable. However, we practiced on the river before moving to the sea, and you need strength to carry or pull the kayak. If you're a woman alone, it can be quite challenging.
Once you start paddling out to sea, it surprisingly moves along well. The sea is beautiful, and the view is fantastic. However, it's advisable to use sunscreen properly, as you can get quite sunburned.

I wanted to do kayaking and my wife wanted us to do that in a two-man boat, which was fine with me. But then she chickened out at the last second and I had to kayak a two-man boat by myself. It was hard and embarassing and the situation sucked.
Despite that, I had a great time. My guide was very understanding of the situation and helped me along the whole way. My group kayaked to a small island a quarter-mile out to sea and he gave us a small tour. Interesting stuff.
When we came back, the manager gave us a partial refund on my wife's payment because she was in the boat for less than five minutes.
It was a good time. If you go to this place, ask for either Matt or Mark (can't remember). He's an orange-haired dude who wears a Gilligan hat.

I previously went to Kailua by bus, and with the waiting time and transfers, it took about two hours from Waikiki. The tour shuttle bus arrived in about 30 minutes from the hotel, which I thought was a significant advantage for making effective use of time.
It was a guided kayak tour, so I had to go on my own after watching a video, but I couldn't remember everything perfectly since I needed to pay attention to both the visuals and subtitles. However, when I later asked the staff about things I didn't understand, they kindly explained everything, which made me feel at ease before setting off.
Carrying the kayak to the water was quite challenging for two women and took some time, but we managed. The launch site for kayaking was designated, and the staff helped us out.
We kayaked to the nearest uninhabited island, landed, and surprisingly stayed longer than expected because there were birds and great views. We even encountered a turtle along the way, and we completed the round trip to the uninhabited island without capsizing. For lunch, we could choose from several places, and I picked pizza, which I heard was popular among locals, and it was a satisfying meal.
After that, I really wanted to go to Lanikai Beach, so I rented a bike for $10 and got there in less than an hour, hurriedly took some photos, and dipped my feet in the ocean before heading back. The cycling route was fantastic, allowing me to enjoy the sea and greenery.
Although I didn't use them, I was pleased that snorkeling gear and mats were available for free, and bike rentals were half price. Overall, it was a tour that my friends and I were very satisfied with.
カイルアには、以前、自力でバスで行きましたが、待ち時間や乗継入れると、ワイキキから2時間くらいかかりました。

カヤックを水辺まで運ぶのが女2人だとなかなか大変で時間もかかりましたが、どうにかなりました。海でのカヤックの発着場所が決まっていて、スタッフの方が助けてくれました。
カヤックで、一番近い無人島までいき上陸、鳥がいたり、眺めがよかったりで意外と長居しました。途中亀に遭遇することもできて、転覆することなく無人島の往復でカヤックは終了しました。お昼は何店舗からか選べて、地元でも評判だと聞きピザを選び、満足なランチでした。
その後、どうしてもラニカイビーチに行きたかったので、10ドルで自転車を借り、1時間足らずで行ってあわただしく写真撮って少し海につかって帰ってきました。サイクリングコースも海や緑を感じられて最高でした。
使う機会はありませんでしたが、シュノーケルやゴザなど無料で借りられるのはうれしく、レンタサイクルも半額でした。

Very much likely you have to come back for a real full bath at your hotel. Aside from this, every else (which counts towards 99% of the trip) is great !!

It had been years since I played at the beach, so I was initially anxious, but thanks to our guides Mark and Yasu, I had a wonderful experience (even though I got really sunburned…). Thank you!
After arriving in Kailua, I felt like we wasted over an hour waiting for the kayak after the briefing. There wasn't enough time to visit Kailua Town, and since we had to meet at 11:30 but the pizza place opened at 11, I had to settle for a mediocre loco moco... (After kayaking, we changed and left right away, so there was no time for lunch.)
However, the content, scenery, and staff were all excellent, so next time I want to choose a course where we can take our time. Mark mentioned he would email photos to those who wanted them, so I'm looking forward to that.
海で遊ぶのは何年ぶり(?)だったので初めは不安でしたが、ガイドのマーク、ヤスさんのおかげで楽しい体験ができました。(ものすごく焼けましたが…)ありがとう!
カイルア到着後、説明を受けてからカヤックに乗るまでの間が1時間以上あって時間がもったいない気がしました。カイルアタウンに行くには時間が足りないし、11時半集合なのにピザ屋さんは11時OPENのためあきらめていまいちなロコモコを食べざるを得なかったり…(カヤックに乗った後は着替えてすぐ出発だったのでお昼を食べる時間はありません。)
でも内容、景色、スタッフは最高なので、次回はもっとゆっくりできるコースを選びたいと思います。
希望者にはマークさんが写真をメールで送ってくれるといっていたので楽しみに待っています。

I had been to Kailua before, but I chose this tour because I wanted to try sea kayaking.
First, there was someone who was late for the pickup time (they were a foreigner...), so we seemed to arrive a bit late and started in quite a rush. (There was no time even to go to the restroom...)
This tour seems to be affected by the wind on the day, but fortunately, it wasn't too windy, and it took about 25 minutes to reach the island 1 kilometer away. (According to the instructor, it was a great performance.) I don't have great athletic skills, so I was a bit anxious, but surprisingly, I was okay.
Paddling together was fun, and it ended so quickly that I wished we could have paddled a bit more. The weather was nice, and we could even see Molokai Island.
During the free time after lunch, I borrowed a bodyboard and headed to the beach. I heard from the instructor that Kailua is beautiful in the afternoon, and the sea was truly a stunning blue.
I highly recommend it.
カイルアは行ったことがあったのですが、シーカヤックに
挑戦してみたくて選んだツアーでした。
まず、ピックアップ時間に遅刻する方(外国の方でしたが…)がいたため、
ちょっと遅れて到着したようで、かなりせかされる感じで慌ただしくスタート。
(トイレ行く間もなく…)
このツアーは、その日の風によって左右されるようですが、
幸いそれほど強風でなく、1キロ先の島まで25分ほどでした。
(インストラクターさんいわく、上出来らしいです。)
私は運動神経は良い方ではないので、ちょっと不安だったんですが、意外と大丈夫でした。
二人でこぐのも楽しくて、もう少し漕ぎたかったなあ~と
いうくらい、あっという間に終わりました。
天気も良かったので、モロカイ島も見えたり。
ランチ後のフリータイムでは、ボディボードを借りて海辺へ。
カイルアは午後からが美しいと、インストラクターさんに
聞いたのですが、本当に真っ青な海がきれいでした。
おすすめです。
