My husband and I participated in stand-up paddleboarding in Kailua. Since I had experience with surfing, we signed up without a lesson. It was more stable than a longboard, and it was fun to paddle easily like a boat. We paddled to a nearby island twice and didn't fall off even once (the wind and waves were mild). I was really satisfied since even a beginner like me could enjoy it so much. I would love to do it again when I go back to Hawaii! Thank you!
主人と二人でカイルア スタンドアップ・パドルに参加しました。サーフィンは経験していたので、レッスン無しで申し込みました。
ロングボードよりも安定していて、簡単にボートのように漕げて楽しかったです。近くの島にも2度漕いで行き、一度も落ちませんでした。(風や波も少なかったので)
初心者でもこんなに楽しめたので、すごく満足です。またハワイに行ったらリピートしたいです!
ありがとうございました。

Also $8 optional shopping trip to town ws not mentioned
Food could have been better, very greasy
Next time I would do pizza not the bbq/chinese option
Had fun on the beach even though snorkleing is not very good, too far to walk and water not the clearest up close

Upon arriving at the shop with lockers, we received an explanation and headed to Kailua Beach. After that, we had lunch and kayaking, so we only had about an hour to play at the beach. Kailua Beach is very beautiful, and the breeze felt nice.
As for kayaking, to be honest, it was tough for me as someone who is not athletic and has a bit of a flabby body, but I somehow managed to reach the uninhabited island in last place. This led to a bit of a quarrel between us, which brought down the mood, but we were encouraged by the instructor's energetic and reliable presence, and we ended up having a great time. On the uninhabited island, the instructor shared stories about birds and mythology, which was enjoyable.
For those going with a partner who may not have much stamina, please lead them without getting angry. That's the secret to having fun!
ロッカーのあるショップに到着すると説明をうけてカイルアビーチへ。その後ランチとカヤックがあるので、ビーチで遊べるのは実質1時間くらいでした。
カイルアビーチはとってもきれいで、風がきもちよかったです。
さてカヤックですが、運動音痴でブヨブヨバディの私には正直しんどかったですが、最下位でなんとか無人島に到着。そのことで夫婦喧嘩になりテンションがさがってしまったのですが、インストラクターの元気で頼りがいのある逞しい姿に後押しされ楽しく過ごせました。無人島ではインストラクターの方が鳥や神話の話をしてくれて楽しかったです。
体力のないパートナーと行かれる方は、怒らずにリードしてあげて下さいね。それが楽しむ秘訣ですよ。

I visited Kailua last January, and since I only did sightseeing then and didn't swim, I made sure to participate this time with the intention of definitely getting into the ocean.
The wind was strong and it was a bit chilly, but I was able to relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
There were quite a few participants, but the staff at the shop were efficient in giving instructions, which minimized any time loss, and that was great.
On the way to the beach, I bought breakfast at a small market and enjoyed it on the beach, which was delicious. (I later found out it was a famous market.)
The pizza for lunch was also tasty. The lady at the pizza shop was a fun person.
It was a last-minute trip, but with Alan1, I was able to confirm my reservation immediately, making it easy to plan. I would like to use their services again. Thank you very much.
カイルアには昨年1月に行き、その時は観光のみで泳がなかったので、この次は絶対海に入るぞっと思い、参加しました。
風が強く、少し肌寒かったですが、綺麗な景色でのんびりできました。
結構沢山の参加者でしたが、ショップの方はテキパキと指示されて時間のロスも無く良かったです。
ショップからビーチまで歩いて行く間にある、小さなマーケットで朝ごはんを買ってビーチで食べたのも、美味しかったです。
(あとから有名なマーケットだったとわかりました。)
お昼のピザも美味しかったです。ピザのお店のおばさんも楽しい人でした。
急に決めた旅行でしたが、Alan1さんは申し込み即確約できて、プランが立て易かったです。またお世話になりたいです。有難うございました。

This time, there were only my husband and me on the guided tour. My husband has kayaking experience, but I was a beginner. The guide kindly taught me how to get into the kayak and how to use the paddle. With a spirited "Let's get to it!" we walked for about three minutes with our gear, and in front of us was the beautiful blue ocean of Kailua, welcoming us with a sea turtle! It was so cute popping its head out of the water. However, there was no time to be amazed as I nervously got into the kayak and set off into the open sea. We paddled hard, following the guide towards an uninhabited island about 300-400 meters away. Despite the headwind, as we paddled, another sea turtle swam nearby! In a moment of surprise, we forgot to paddle and exclaimed, "Wow!!!" After a brief moment of excitement, I quickly returned to focus, being careful not to hit the turtle with my paddle, and we paddled for another 20 minutes before safely arriving at the island. The guide explained in detail why this island was formed, the habits of migratory birds, and that it is a protected area. Along the way, we found a pair of migratory birds in a hole and discovered crab shells, all while having a great time walking around the island. After that, we expressed our desire to go snorkeling at Lanikai, and the guide happily agreed, so we got back into the kayak. Paddling from the island to Lanikai Beach was challenging as we had to paddle at a right angle to the waves to avoid being swept onto the sandy beach. Fortunately, we encountered another sea turtle along the way. This time it was a baby turtle, small and adorable! We couldn't believe how lucky we were to see so many turtles as we made our way to "Heavenly Sea." Lanikai has many coral reefs, making it a perfect spot for snorkeling! We enjoyed snorkeling with the guide, greeted by small fish, large fish, and colorful fish, which made all the paddling fatigue disappear. Although I’m not very good at swimming and couldn’t go far, the guide was thrilled, saying, "Look at this big fish (about a meter long)!" After about 15 minutes of snorkeling, we took pictures together and had a blast! The two-hour tour went by in a flash, and we kayaked back to Kailua, where we said goodbye to the guide. After that, we had lunch at a pizza place and enjoyed some free time. Of course, we returned to Kailua Beach afterward!
今回、ガイドさん付きのツアーは私達夫婦一組だけ。夫はカヤック経験者だけど、私は初。そんな私のためにカヤックの乗り方、パドルの使い方を丁寧に教えてくれました。『実践あるのみダネ~♪』と意気揚々と道具を持ち、海へと歩くこと3分ほど。目の前にはカイルアの青い青い海が広がっていて、海ガメさんがお出迎え♪顔を水面から出したりしててカワイイ~。が、、、感動する暇もさほどなく、おっかなびっくりカヤックに乗っていざ大海原へ。。300~400m離れた無人島を目指してひたすらガイドさんについて漕ぐ、漕ぐ、漕ぐ。。向かい風にも負けず漕いでいると、ゆらゆらと別の海ガメさんが近くを泳いでる!!まさかの遭遇に、漕ぐのを一瞬忘れ二人で『おぉ~~~っっ!!!』と大騒ぎ!!感動も束の間、ふと我に返りパドルを亀さんにぶつけないように気をつけながら再び漕ぐこと20分。島に無事に到着♪なぜこの島が出来たのかとか、渡り鳥の習性、保護地区であることを詳しく教えてくれました。途中、穴の中に渡り鳥のツガイを見つけたり、カニの抜け殻を見つけたり、大騒ぎしながら一周歩きました。その後、ラニカイへ渡ってシュノーケルをしたい、という私達の希望をガイドさんは快く引き受けてくれて、再びカヤックへ。島からラニカイビーチまでは波に対して直角に漕ぐので、砂浜に流されないようにするのが大変だった・・。嬉しいことに、その途中でも海ガメさんに遭遇。今度は子ガメで、小さくて可愛かったぁ~(*^^*)こんなに会えるなんて思ってもみなかっただけに、ラッキーなことこの上ないね、と話しながら『天国の海』へ。ラニカイはサンゴ礁がたくさんあって、シュノーケルには絶好の場所!ガイドさんと一緒にシュノーケルを楽しみました。小さな魚や大きな魚、色とりどりの魚たちが出迎えてくれてさっきまで漕ぎまくった疲れも吹っ飛びましたね。泳ぎがあまり得意ではなく、遠くまでは行けなかったけどガイドさんは『こ~んな大きな魚(1メートルくらい)がイタヨ!』と大喜びでした☆
15分ほどシュノーケルを楽しみ、写真を3人で撮り合い、大騒ぎしてとても楽しかった~!!!!2時間のツアーガイドもあっという間で、再びカヤックでカイルアへ向かい、Shopへ戻ってガイドさんとはお別れ・・・。その後はピザ屋さんでのランチとフリータイム。ランチ後はもちろん再びカイルアビーチに戻りましたが♪キレ

I had friends visiting the islands, and they wanted to do something a bit different, and 'off the beaten path' so I decided to take them Ocean Kayaking over in Kailua! We headed out, a bit late, and got there and the staff at Kailua Sailboards and Kayaks were amazing and friendly, telling us all the best insider tips for kayaking out there! We got out into the ocean, and it was extremely windy and choppy, but it was so much fun heading out to Flat Island and then over to the beach for a bit of relaxing snorkeling and sunbathing. Thanks again to the great staff at Kailua Sailboards for all their help with everything kayak and ocean related, my friends and I had a blast braving the elements and spending the day out on the water!

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.

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。

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。

At first, I was worried about whether I could stand on the board, but when I cautiously stood up, it felt strange.

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.

Since it was my first time kayaking, I was initially a bit anxious about whether I would be okay. However, the staff member who assisted us was Japanese and taught us patiently, and within just 30 minutes, we were out on the sea heading towards Flat Island. We had chosen a 2-hour guided tour plan, but for those who want to paddle more, there seems to be a longer course plan available, which I would recommend.
For lunch, I ordered pizza as mentioned in the reviews here. The staff's recommendation was the Spinach Garlic Pizza, so I ordered that and it was very delicious! There were other varieties I wanted to try, but the portion was quite large for one person, so I gave up on that.
In the afternoon, I was able to relax on the beach. Since there were waves, it might be nice to rent a bodyboard (which was free) and have some fun.
カヤックをすること自体初めてだったので、大丈夫かな?と当初不安がありましたが、担当してくれたスタッフは日本人の方で、丁寧に教えてくれ、ものの30分で海に出てフラットアイランドに向かっていました。2時間のツアーガイド付きプランにしていたので、もっと漕ぎまくりたい方は長いコースプランがあるらしいのでそちらをお勧めします。
お昼はここの書き込みにあった通りにピザを注文しました。こちらで勤めているスタッフのお勧めはホウレンソウガーリックピザだったので、それを注文して食べましたが、大変おいしかったですよ!!他にも種類があるので試してみたかったのですが、一人前が大きかったので諦めました。
午後からはビーチでのんびり過ごすことができました。波があるのでボディーボードなんかを借りて(無料でした)遊ぶのもいいかもしれませんね。

A very nice activity for those who tire of the crowds in Waikiki. A wish list item would be a shuttle to Lanakai. That is one of the best beaches in Hawaii, but is a good 25 minute walk from the shop. But, also have Kailua Beach (sp?) very nearby, which is almost just as good. The staff was great and shared numerous insights about both the activity and the history of the area. We did the short tour, which took us to the bird sanctuary island. A pretty location with great picture opportunities. We will book this again next visit and maybe do the longer tour. A nice workout, but nothing too strenuous and perfect for novice kayakers like us. Decent food and snack options nearby and overall a fun way to spend an afternoon. Check it out!!

We participated as a couple and chose this tour because it offers longer free time compared to other tours, along with a good price and lockers. I had been to Kailua once before, but this time I wanted to visit "Boots & Kimo's," famous for its pancakes, and hoped to explore Kailua Town as well.
After arriving in Kailua, I debated whether to bike or walk, and ultimately decided to walk to Boots & Kimo's, which took about 20 minutes. I got pancakes to-go and enjoyed them for breakfast on the beach, and they were incredibly delicious!
Kailua has such beautiful waters! Waikiki is nice too, but coming here feels completely different. On the day we participated, there were many small waves, which didn't seem ideal for boogie boarding, but my husband was able to see a turtle while swimming. You can also rent snorkeling gear, so I think it's good to check the wave conditions before deciding.
After spending about an hour in Kailua, we rented bikes (Kailua Sailboards & Kayaks offers rentals for tour participants at around $11 each) and headed to the neighboring Lanikai Beach. Lanikai Beach has a milky emerald sea! The beauty of the ocean alone lifts your spirits. The last time I walked to Lanikai Beach, I was exhausted, so I recommend biking instead.
For lunch, we could choose between a boxed lunch or pizza, and I opted for the pizza recommended by the staff. I was surprised at how big it was!
The four hours flew by. With the long free time, we could visit the town and Lanikai, making it a great option for repeat visitors. There are Japanese staff members, and the presence of lockers, restrooms, and changing rooms adds to the overall sense of security, making it a very good experience.
夫婦で参加しましたが、自由時間が他のツアーよりも長い&価格&ロッカー付きということでこちらのツアーに決めました。
以前にも1度カイルアにいったことがありましたが、今回はパンケーキが有名な「ブーツアンドキモズ」にも行ってみたくカイルアタウンにもいけたらなと思っていました。
カイルアに到着後自転車か徒歩か悩んだ末、徒歩でブーツアンドキモズへ行ってみましたが、歩いても20分くらいでした。
パンケーキをTOGOしてビーチで朝食にいただきましたがすごく美味しかったです!!
カイルアはとても綺麗な海です!ワイキキもきれいだけど、こちらに来ると、全然ちがうな~と感じました。
参加した日は小さい波が沢山くるような感じで、ブギーボードはあまり適してなかったように感じましたが、旦那さんは普通に泳いでいたら亀をみれたようです。シュノーケルのセットもレンタルもできるので、波の状態を見てきめるのも良いと思います。
1時間ほどカイルアにいてから、レンタル自転車(カイルアセイルボード&カヤックで、ツアー参加者は1台11ドルくらいで借りれました)を借りて隣のラニカイビーチに行ってきました。
ラニカイビーチのほうが、ミルキーエメラルド!な海です。海が美しくてそれだけでテンションがあがります↑
ラニカイビーチまで、以前行ったときは歩いたのですがヘトヘトになってしまったので、自転車のほうがおすすめです。
ランチはボックスランチかピザが選べましたが、担当の方がお勧めしてくれたピザをチョイス。すごくおおきくてびっくり!!

On the day of the kayaking, the sea had quite a few waves, but we somehow managed to reach Flat Island. It was about a 500-meter distance. At first, I was a bit intimidated by the strength of the waves and wind, but thanks to the instructor's careful guidance, everyone made it to the island safely. If the sea had been a bit calmer, we might have enjoyed it more leisurely, but the memory of paddling hard to get across is also a good one.
When I returned to the hotel, my abs and legs were sore, making it a bit tough to get up in the morning. Well, that's also a good memory.

ホテルに戻ったら、腹筋と足が筋肉痛で朝起きるのがちょっとしんどかったです。まあ、それも良い思い出です。
