At first, there was a lecture in the room under the guide's instruction. I was worried as a beginner, but the sea was beautiful, and I was satisfied to be able to go to the island across. On the way back, I managed to stand up. It was fun. The guide was great too.
最初、ガイドの指導で部屋でレクチャー。初心者で心配したが、海がきれいで、向かいの島まで行けて満足。帰りはなんとか立てるまでに。楽しかった。ガイドも良かった。

This was a great beach day at Kailua Beach! We were picked up by mini van right at our hotel and taken to a small plaza containing the water sports store sponsoring the activity. The people in the store were pleasant and showed us the lockers and gave us our vouchers for the included lunch. Also included was the use of boogie boards and beach chairs. The beach is a short walk from the plaza so keep in mind that you will need to carry things with you. Towels not included so be sure to bring your own! The beach itself is gorgeous and clean with that beautiful blue iridescent water! We set up shop under a tree and were happy there all day. There are facilities at the beach. While the food places were open at 10:00 AM, we chose to wait until 12:30 to eat. We opted for the pizza and drink. The pizza was the closest to true NY style we had in Hawaii...we were very impressed! It says one slice however the slice is actually a quarter of a very large pie and they cut it in two for you so it is two good sized slices! At the end of the day we headed back to the store and turned in our beach things we had borrowed and browsed the gift shop. A great day!

You can rent a safety box at the rental shop, so you can go to the beach hands-free. We took out pizza and had lunch on the beach. I heard there’s also BBQ on weekdays.

The kayaking experience to the uninhabited island was wonderful. Paddling out into the blue ocean by my own strength felt really good. However, the distance from the place where we rented the kayak to the sea was quite long, which was pretty tough. Also, since a lot of time was spent on the pre-activity briefing, the time we had to play with the kayak was surprisingly short. The pizza for lunch was delicious.
無人島へのカヤック体験は素晴らしかった。青い大海原に自分のチカラで漕ぎ出すのはとても気分がよかった。ただ、カヤックを借りる場所から海へ運ぶ距離が長く、結構大変でした。
また、事前の説明に時間を取られるのでカヤックで遊べる時間は意外と少なかったです。
昼食はビザがおいしかった。

While my friends and I were in Oahu, we knew we wanted to go kayaking. We were considering maybe just renting kayaks in Waikiki where we were staying, but we were concerned about just how crowded Waikiki Beach can get. My friend found this kayaking trip at Kailua Beach and we were sold. For about $80 we received kayak rentals, snorkel gear, lunch, and shuttle service. This kayaking adventure was definitely worth it! The staff were all extremely welcoming and helpful, and the water was absolutely beautiful. I am so glad we were able to discover Kailua Beach. When I read that this trip included lunch, I expected a paper bag lunch, something like sandwiches and chips. But in reality we were given a coupon that was redeemable at four locations by the kayaking shop. We chose to have pizza at Bob's, which was delicious and filling. We did this on our last day in Oahu, so it was a great ending to our vacation.
Mahalo for the review, Sam! We are so glad that you got to chance to make it out to Kailua and try kayaking!

Since there were only a few people, we were able to swim and take our time taking photos at Flat Island, which was the best.
On the way back, instead of taking the shuttle bus, we rented bicycles and went snorkeling at Kailua Beach. The ocean was so beautiful, it felt like being in paradise.
The staff were truly kind and attentive. I will participate again.

Kailua Beach and Lanikai Beach are beautiful, calm, and absolutely amazing! The sand is pure white, and the sea is a stunning cobalt blue, almost glowing.
Having experience kayaking in Kauai and Okinawa, my husband and I participated without a guide. It was so much fun and liberating! We enjoyed ourselves at our own pace, doing what we wanted, just the two of us.
What’s interesting about kayaking is that it’s easy to paddle and moves quickly, plus your viewpoint is close to the water’s surface. It feels like you’re one with the ocean, allowing you to enjoy the scenery fully.
We kayaked from Kailua Beach to Flat Island, then to Lanikai Beach, and back to Kailua Beach. Along the way, we took our time snorkeling at Lanikai Beach. There are corals scattered around, the waves are gentle, and we saw various fish. The sand at these beaches is so white and soft, it feels wonderful.
The recommended pizza for lunch was incredibly delicious! On the way back, we declined the shuttle and leisurely enjoyed sightseeing in Kailua. The bus that runs around the island is only $2.50, so if you want to enjoy Kailua town a bit longer, extending your stay is a great idea.
Carrying the kayak to the water is a bit challenging, but it’s a short distance, and I appreciate the American mindset of doing things for yourself and enjoying freely with personal responsibility.
The staff were all energetic, friendly, and pleasant. Thank you very much! If I go to Oahu again, I definitely want to kayak here!
カイルアビーチとラニカイビーチ、美しくて穏やかで最高ですね!
砂は真っ白海は発光しているかのようなコバルトブルー。
カウアイ島と沖縄でカヤック経験があるので、夫と二人、ガイドなしで参加しました。自由でとっても楽しかった!自分達のペースで、やりたいことを、自分達だけで好きなように楽しめました。
カヤックの面白いところは漕ぐのが簡単でよく進むし、目線が海面に近いこと。
まるで海と一体になったような感覚で景色を楽しむことが出来ます。
私たちはカヤックでカイルアビーチ→フラットアイランド→ラニカイビーチ→カイルアビーチと移動しました。途中ラニカイビーチでは、ゆっくりシュノーケリングを楽しみました。
珊瑚が転々とあり、波も穏やかで、いろんな魚を見られます。
この辺りのビーチは砂が真っ白でサラサラで気持ちいいです。
ランチのオススメのピザがとっても美味しかったです!
帰りは送迎を辞退し、のんびりカイルア観光を楽しみました。
島を走るTHE BUSも$2.5と安いので、もう少しカイルアの町を楽しみたいと思った方は滞在時間を延ばすのも良いですね。
カヤックを海まで運ぶのは少し大変ですが、短い距離ですし、自分のことを自分でやって、自己責任で自由に楽しむ考え方が、なんともアメリカらしくて私は好きです。
スタッフは、皆さん元気で親切で気持ちが良い方たちでした。
ありがとうございました!

Kailua requires taking a bus that you might not be used to, and both Kailua Beach and Lanikai Beach are difficult to access from the bus stop, so I recommend this tour for both town and beach lovers!!
I recommend renting a mat to take to Kailua Beach, which is just a short walk from the tour company. The area under the shade of the trees has branches that can be painful if they fall. You can also borrow snorkeling gear for free, but there are no fish. Many people are relaxing on the beach. The morning is recommended as there are fewer people at the beach.
I rented a bicycle to get to Kailua Town ($10.47 per bike). They provide a map and explain how to get there. It can be a bit scary until you get used to the pedal brakes, but it’s manageable. It takes about 20 minutes on foot. Riding with the wind felt great.
For lunch, you can choose between a plate or pizza, and the staff-recommended spinach and garlic pizza was delicious.
For us, the time spent at both the beach and the town felt just right, though we could have used a little more. The staff could almost all speak Japanese, which was reassuring.
カイルアって、個人では慣れないバスに乗らないと行けないし、さらにカイルアビーチやラニカイビーチはバス停から行きにくいので、このツアーは、カイルアタウン派にもビーチ派にも、オススメします!!
主催会社から徒歩すぐのカイルアビーチへはゴザを借りて行くことをオススメします。日陰になる木の下は枝が落ちてて痛いです。シュノーケルセットも無料で借りられますが魚はいません。ビーチでのんびりしてる人が多いです。午前中の方がビーチの人は少なくてオススメです。
カイルアタウンへは自転車を借りました($10.47/1台)。地図も貰えるし行き方も教えてくれます。自転車のペダルブレーキに慣れるまでは怖いですがなんとかなります。徒歩だと20分とのこと。風を切って走るのが気持ち良かったです。
ランチはプレートかピザが選べ、スタッフオススメのほうれん草とガーリックのピザが美味しかったです。
ビーチもタウンも、の私達には時間も少し物足りないかなくらいでちょうど良かったです。
スタッフもほぼ日本語が話せるので、安心できました。

We participated as a couple without a guide. The man who provided the transportation and explained the kayaking was a bit unfriendly, but the other Japanese women gave us kind explanations. It wasn't a problem to go without a guide since my husband had experience. It might be tough for two women. The waves were calm that day, making it perfect for kayaking. However, we did some snorkeling and didn't see many fish. We did see two honu (sea turtles)! It was very moving.

The pickup was loose from the start. Just when I thought I should call after 10 minutes had passed, the ride finally arrived. From a distance, I heard a loud voice calling out, "Hurry up and come here," gesturing with his chin. If I had been short-tempered, there would have been a fight right there. After riding the bus for almost an hour, as soon as we arrived, the Japanese guide spoke so quickly and provided so much information that it was absolutely impossible to understand everything for the rest of the day. The only things I remembered were where and how to exchange for lunch and that our company had four showers. We were handed a special envelope for tips with instructions. The sea kayak guide confidently said, "Even if you capsize, I can right the boat and lift a person weighing 200 kg, so you'll be fine." However, as time passed, despite it being a guided tour, he said, "I'm not going today; only the customers will go." In the end, during the final briefing, the guide decided to join us. It was quite careless. Of course, we had to carry the boats ourselves to the sea. The paved road was fine, but it was quite heavy on the grass and sand. We finally arrived at the beach, and it was a struggle to float the boats and get on. The guide was nowhere to be seen; he was already at the starting point. There was quite a distance from the water's edge to the starting point. Was it our responsibility to get there? Perhaps that fast-paced explanation was for this reason?
In the end, we had to rely on the help of some Americans we didn’t know, and not the guide, to start paddling. Once we finally reached the starting point, it was just a matter of paddling. It didn’t matter whether the guide was there or not. We just had to paddle to avoid capsizing. We safely arrived at the uninhabited island and circled it. The guide explained various things here. On the way back, we paddled again. When we could see the starting point, the guide said, "Paddle over after I reach the shore." I understood that the guide was ahead because the beginning and end were difficult, so I paddled as instructed. Maybe I believed somewhere in my mind that he would help us if we capsized.
And then we capsized. Everything turned upside down, and I couldn’t tell right from left or up from down. But no help came. Right the boat? 200 kg? Those words felt empty.
My expensive shirt and hat, which I had just bought at the store right before the sea kayak tour, were swept away. I was so angry that I stayed in the water for a while until the guide finally came. All I could say was "the worst." I really wanted to say, "Everything about this tour is the worst!" Covered in sand and soaking wet, we carried the heavy boat. The guide had already gone far ahead. When we arrived at the store, I desperately looked for a shower. I couldn’t find the four showers they had boasted about. When I asked, I was pointed to a single outdoor water pipe with four faucets that were not spaced apart, none of which were even waist-high. One of them had a hose attached.
I realized that the high-quality showers often found at beach entrances were the best. The one in front of me couldn’t wash off the sand from my head or face; it could only manage to rinse off the sand from my feet. Despite this situation, the bus that had been so late in the morning was waiting. The fast-talking Japanese guide kept looking at the clock while saying, "No need to hurry," and stood right at the bus entrance. We stuffed our wet belongings in a mess and ran. There was even a 75-year-old grandfather with us... I couldn’t even confirm if we had forgotten anything. I still think that a tip is unnecessary for such a tour, but my family put in a tip above the going rate into the designated box and even handed over Japanese souvenirs, making me tear up at how naive they were.
I never thought I would feel one of the most frustrating experiences of my life in Hawaii. There was nothing about this tour that was satisfacto
ピックアップからしてルーズ。10分過ぎて電話しなければと思ったところに迎えが来た。遠くから大きい声で呼び捨て。あごで「早くこっち来い」。私が短気だったらここで喧嘩だよ。小一時間もバスに乗り、着いた途端、説明ガイドは日本人なのにあまりの早口と大量の説明。あれで今後のすべてを理解しろというのは絶対に無理。昼食を引き換える場所と方法、私たちの会社はシャワーを4つ持っている、ということだけ記憶した。チップは専用封筒を渡され指示された。シーカヤックのガイドは「たとえ転覆しても自分は船を元に戻すことができるし、200kgの体重の人を引き上げて助けるから大丈夫」と安心感100%の言葉。しかし時間が経つと、ガイド付きツアーなのに「今日は自分は行かない」「お客さんだけ行きます」と。結局最終説明ではガイドも行くことに。かなりいい加減である。もちろん海まで自分たちが船を運ぶ。舗装道路はいいけれど、草や砂の上はかなり重たい。やっと海辺に到着し、水際に浮かべ乗り込むのに一苦労。ガイドの姿なんてどこにも見えない。とっととスタート地点にいた。水際からスタート地点までもけっこうな距離がある。スタート地点に行くまでは自己責任なのだろうか?もしかしてあの早口の説明はこのせいだったのか?
結局全然知らないアメリカ人の手を借り、ガイドではなく彼らの力で私たちは漕ぎ出した。やっとスタート地点に着いたら、後はひたすら漕ぐだけ。ガイドなどいようといまいと関係ない。転覆しないように漕ぐだけだ。無事に無人島に着き、島を一周。ガイドはここであれこれ説明してくれた。帰りはまたひたすら漕ぐ。スタート地点が見えガイドは「私が陸に着いてから漕いで来て」と言う。最初と最後は難しいからガイドが先なのだろうと納得し、言われた通りに漕ぎ出した。どこかで「転覆しても助ける」ということばを信じていたのかもしれない。
そして私たちは転覆した。すべてのものが逆さになり、右も左も上も下もわからない。でも助けは来ない。船を元に戻す? 体重200kg? そんなことばが空々しい。
シーカヤック直前にツアーのその店で買ったばかりの高いシャツも帽子も流された。あまりに頭にきてしばらく海から出なかったらやっとガイドはやってきた。「最低」のことばしか出なかった。本当は「このツアーのすべてが最低!」と言いたかった。砂だらけで水浸しのまま重い船を運ぶ。ガイドなんてずっと先を行ってしまった。店に着いたらとにかくシャワーを探した。4つあると自慢していたシャワーがわからない。仕方ないので聞いたら「そこ」と指差された。腰の高さもない外にある一本の水道管に間隔のない蛇口が4つ。その1つにホースがつながっていた。
よくビーチの入口にある、砂を落とすためのシャワーは最高級だと知った。目の前にあるものは頭や顔の砂など落とせない。足の砂落としが精いっぱい。そんな状態なのに、朝はあんなに遅れたバスが待機している。早口日本人ガイドは「急がなくていい」と言いながら時計を何度も見てバスの乗り口にピタッといる。ベチャベチャに濡れたまま荷物をぐちゃぐちゃに突っ込み走る。75才のおじいちゃんもいるのに…。忘れ物がないのかもさえ確認できない。こんなツアー、チップなんて必要ないと今でも思っているが、家族は相場以上のチップを専用ポストに入れ、さらに日本土産まで渡し、どこまでお人良しなのかと涙が出てくる。
人生で一、二番目に腹の立つ思いをハワイでするなんて思わなかった。
このツアーは、どれをとっても満足できるものは何一つない。

It was my first kayaking experience, and I challenged myself without a guide! As a result, we were able to reach our destination island (Free Island) quite quickly, and paddling while chatting back and forth was a fun memory.
Although we didn't have a guide, we were able to watch some explanatory videos beforehand, and we could also observe other people kayaking (like foreign couples) to use them as examples. If there's a man around, you can manage without a guide (laughs).
It became the most exciting and fun memory I have in Hawaii!

Due to local circumstances, I couldn't take lessons directly on the beach, so I took lessons at a surf shop and made my way to the beach on my own. I was really anxious, but at the water's edge, the guide was there to assist me, so I was able to safely head out to sea.
After that, it was incredibly fun, and we went to a deserted island, taking a break to paddle around before returning, which wrapped up the morning session. The second round was tough physically, so it was just right.
For lunch after stand-up paddleboarding, there were several dining options available, and the pizza from a place just next door was incredibly delicious. I would love to go back.
In the afternoon, we had the freedom to choose activities like snorkeling in Kailua or strolling around the town, which allowed me to adjust to my own pace, so that was great.
I would like to use this service again for activities in Kailua next time.

それからは、めちゃくちゃ楽しくて無人島まて行き、休憩がてらブラフラして帰ってくるコースで午前は終了しました。体力的に2週目はキツかったので、ちょうど良かったです。
Sup後の食事は用意されているご飯処がいくつかあり、ピザ数件隣のピザがめちゃくちゃ美味しかったです。また行きたいくらい。
午後はカイルアでシュノーケリングやカイルアの街を散歩等自由に選ばせてもらえたのたので、自分の状態に合わせられたので、良かったです。
また次回、カイルアでアクティビティする際は利用したいです。

This is emerald green!
The color of the sea was very beautiful to look at.
The transparency of the sea was a bit disappointing.
The pancakes at Kimo's were indeed delicious.
これぞエメラルドグリーン!
海の色で見る分には、とてもキレイでした。
海の透明度はいまいちで、少し残念でした。
キモズのパンケーキは、やはり美味しかったです。

Depending on the weather and sea conditions, I was able to kayak on a calm day, which provided great views and was enjoyable. The duration was not too long, and the staff's response was also good.
天候や海の状況次第ですが、穏やかの日にカヤックが出来たので、景色がよく、楽しめもした。
時間も長時間ではなく、スタッフの対応もよかったです。

As someone who loves the ocean, I find that I don't have enough time to enjoy both the beach and the town together, so I make it a point to separate my days into beach days and town days.
At the beach, I can fully enjoy myself with items like mats and snorkeling sets provided. Additionally, since tour buses cannot access Lanikai, I recommend renting a bike. For just an extra $10 on this tour, you can rent a bike right there. In the morning, I had a pleasant ride to Lanikai and enjoyed snorkeling at the beach!
It seemed like it was one of those rare days with great weather, and I was able to see the ocean's colors more beautiful than ever before. The waves were almost nonexistent, and I had so much fun that I didn't want to leave the water.
In the afternoon, we returned to Kailua for lunch. You can choose between a plate lunch or pizza. We opted for the plate lunch. It was a bit disappointing that we couldn't choose from a variety of options since it was a set meal. The taste was just okay—nothing to get too excited about, although I wasn't expecting much. Considering the time it takes to think about and go buy something, it was at least passable.
In the afternoon, I relaxed and enjoyed the ocean again in Kailua until it was time to leave. I will definitely use this service again when I want to enjoy the beach. I prefer the shuttle service because I can just relax and sleep, rather than using The Bus. I think it would be nice if lunch wasn't a set meal and offered more choices.
海が大好きな私は、ビーチとタウンを一緒に楽しむには時間的に足りないので、毎回、ビーチの日、タウンの日と、分けて楽しむようにしいています。
ビーチで遊ぶには、ゴザやシュノーケルセットなどがついているので、存分に遊ぶことができます。また、ラニカイには、現在ツアーバスは入れないので、自転車がお勧めです。このツアーでも、$10プラスするだけで、その場で自転車を貸してもらえます。午前はラニカイまで心地よくツーリング&ビーチでシュノーケルを堪能!
この日は、年に数えるほどの良いお天気だったようで、これまで以上に美しい海の色を見ることができました。
波もほとんどなく、海から出ることができないくらい楽しみました。
午後は、ランチをいただきにカイルアへ戻りました。ランチは、プレートランチか、ピザ、どちらかを選べます。私たちはプレートランチにしました。セットになっているため、いろいろ選べないのが残念でした。お味も、こんなものか~。(期待はしてはいませんでしたが。。。)考えたり、買いに行く時間を考えると、ましかな?のレベルです。
午後は、カイルアで、のんびりとまた海に浸かり、時間まで楽しみました。
また、ビーチを楽しみたいときには利用します。
送迎付きは、寝ててもOKなので、ザ・バスを利用するよりも、私はすきです。
ランチはセットではなくてもいいかな?選択できたらよいと思いました。

I took this tour two years ago, but due to bad weather, we gave up going out to sea. Then, in 2014, I tried again, and the weather was perfect. The sea was beautiful as well. Additionally, our guide Mark was amazing. I caused quite a bit of trouble, but we had a great time. It's an activity I would love to do again.
2年前このツアーをしましたが、天候が悪く、海へ出るのをあきらめました。
そして、2014年再度チャレンジ、天候が最高。海もきれいでした。さらにガイドのマークさん最高。かなり迷惑をかけましたが、楽しい時間を過ごしました。また、行きたいと思うアクティビティーです。

There were quite a few participants, so since the car was a bit cramped, they kindly suggested, "How about the front seat?" and I was able to sit in the front without hesitation. The organizer and driver had worked in Japan, so they guided us to the location in simple English and Japanese. The staff also responded in easy-to-understand English, and everyone was very kind, so I think even those who can't speak any English can participate with peace of mind.
The beach had a powdery sand feel, which was very pleasant, and it really made me feel like I was in Hawaii. However, as a snorkeling spot, it might be a bit lacking. In the afternoon, I rented a bicycle and explored Kailua Town. I went into supermarkets and used bookstores, allowing me to experience Hawaiian culture in ways not found in guidebooks. On the way back, they also stopped at a scenic spot for us to take photos.
While there wasn't anything particularly thrilling, it was a plan that allowed for a leisurely swim at the beach, strolling around town, and enjoying a relaxed drive along the way. I think adding such a plan in between more exciting tours can provide a nice balance.
結構な参加者さんがいたので、車が少し狭かった為、「助手席にどう?」と声をかけてくれたので、遠慮なく助手席に乗せてもらいました。主催者兼運転手さんは日本で仕事をしていたこともあり、簡単な英語と日本語でガイドをしながら現地まで連れていってくれました。スタッフの方も解りやすい英語で答えてくれたり、とても親切な方ばかりですので、全く英語が話せないという方も安心して参加できると思います。ビーチの方は、パウダーサンドみたいな感じでとても気持ちよく、ハワイに来たなーという気分を十分に味わえますが、シュノーケリングスポットとしては、ちょっと物足りないかなと。午後は自転車をレンタルしてカイルアタウンを散策しました。スーパーとか古本屋さんにも入って、ハワイの生活文化に触れられたりと、ガイドブックにはない楽しみ方も出来ます。また、帰りの道中にも絶景スポットで車を停めてくれて、写真を撮ったりしました。特に「これ、スゲーー!」ということはなく、あくまでのんびりビーチで泳いだり、プラプラ街を散策したり、道中のんびりドライブを楽しむことが出来るプランですが、刺激的なツアーの合間にこういうプランを入れると、良いエッセンスになると思います。
