All Reviews for Kayaking Tours & Canoe Paddling

I participated in the afternoon, and the weather was cloudy. I rented equipment because I wanted to experience snorkeling. The wind was strong, and I almost got swept outside the buoy, but the staff member quickly came to help and provided support, which was reassuring. While snorkeling, many fish were swimming around the coral reefs, making it feel like an aquarium. After getting cold, I returned to the boat for a light lunch with sandwiches. The staff's live ukulele and guitar performance was very good and added to the fun atmosphere. There were more foreign guests (Mexican, Spanish, and others) than Japanese guests on board, creating a lively ambiance. If the weather had been a bit sunnier and the wind calmer, I might have enjoyed it even more. It might also be good to check the low tide times before going.

午後からの参加で天気は曇り。SAPを体験したくてレンタル。風が強くてブイの外まで流されそうになったが、スタッフのお兄さんがすぐにHELPに来てくれてサポートしてくれるので安心でした。シュノーケリングでは多くの魚がサンゴ礁の周りを泳いでいて水族館のよう。体が冷えた後は船内に戻り、サンドイッチで軽くランチ。スタッフのウクレレ&ギターの生演奏がとても上手で、盛り上げてくれました。船内は日本人客より外国人客（ﾒｷｼｶﾝ、ｽﾊﾟﾆｯｼｭ、others）の方が多く、とても賑やかな雰囲気でした。もう少し晴天と風が緩やかであれば、もっと楽しめたかも。あと干潮時を調べていくと良いかも。

We enjoyed 15 minutes of live music on the boat and spent 2 hours playing in the shallow area. The captain and other staff were all cheerful and fun, and the live music added to the great atmosphere. Although the weather was cloudy, the water wasn't cold, and we had plenty of activities to enjoy. It seemed difficult to get there on our own, so we opted for the shuttle service to the hotel.

生演奏付きの船で15分、遠浅のエリアで2時間遊びました。
キャプテンやその他のスタッフがみんな陽気で楽しく、生演奏も雰囲気が良かったです。
お天気が曇りだったのですが、水も冷たくなくたっぷりアクティビティを楽しめました。
自力で行くのは難しそうだったので、ホテルまでの送迎をオプションで付けました。

I don’t usually leave reviews unless it’s a really terrible experience OR an AWESOME ONE! Let me just start by saying my group & I did this on Thursday and we booked to go back on Saturday!!! That’s how amazing the crew and the experience was! Worth every penny.
We had an 8 yr old and she was able to enjoy the water too it’s deff kid friendly.
You can take your cooler with beer, drinks and snacks. The water is crystal clear and only like 3-4 ft tall. Take cash to tip the crew and live band, they’re ALL so awesome!!

I waited for over 30 minutes at a very crowded meeting point without any announcements. However, once we got on the bus, it was the usual fun tour. Thanks to the crew's support, my 80-year-old grandmother had a great time!

すごく混み合っている集合場所でアナウンスもないまま30分以上待たされました。でも、バスに乗ってからはいつもの楽しいツアー。80歳のおばあちゃんもクルーのサポートのおかげでたっぷり楽しめました！

This was so amazing and fun. The crew was top notch! We will definitely do this on all return trips to the island.

The staff at the loading and unloading facility were great. They greeted us with a smile, were very courteous, instructed and helped load the kayaks and answered all the questions we had. This tour was a very enjoyable self-guided tour. We were even able to save a sea turtle that became trapped between some rock on Chinaman's Hat. AAA+ to the staff and experience.

It was really fun. the staff were very nice and the live band was so fun! 10/10 experience! Everyone was so friendly

One of the best experience of my life! Amazing views accompanied by an amazing staff! This activity can be what you make of it! A nice family time, relaxing time, party animal time or the adventurer!

Just kind of boring. Better suited for families with little kids. Food was gross. No booze to order. There’s nowhere to shower or change afterwards either.

This was such a a fun time! The crew and musicians are what made it so good. They all exude the aloha spirit. The live music was such a a treat, they had really good rapport with our group and were so fun, and talented too. The crew was so wonderful and so nice.
The bay itself is a treasure, so so beautiful. The water is gorgeous, the mountains are stunning. They provide paddle boards, kayaks, snorkel gear, and volleyballs.
And the crew is very helpful with all of the gear and how to.use.it. I would recommend it!

The blue sea and blue sky. I was healed by the wonderful scenery. It was great to walk in the water and enjoy feeding the many fish. The live music on the boat was also fantastic. It became a very nice memory.

青い海、青い空。素晴らしい景色に癒されました。海の中を歩いて楽しんだり、沢山のお魚に餌を揚げて楽しんだりいろいろ遊べて良かったです。船の中での生演奏の歌も素晴らしかったです。とてもいい思い出になりました。

enjoy this tour. I got a chance to try all the activities. All the crews are enthusiastic and nice, supportive. Life guards paid attention to our safety all the time.

We had a great time at sandbar. We went with three small children and they had a great time despite not being interested in snorkeling/kayaking. One of the staff had a speed boat and took our family out for a cruise to look for sea turtles. We got to see a huge turtle swimming out in the ocean and it was definitely a highlight for our trip.

The dock was easy to find. There was lively live music on board, making the journey enjoyable.
Since it wasn't low tide, we didn't get to see the magical sandbar, but we had plenty of fun with stand-up paddleboarding, boating, and snorkeling.
On the return trip, I felt a bit cold, but I had brought extra beach towels, which helped me stay warm.

船付き場は分かりやすい場所でした。船内では盛り上がるライブミュージックがあり、到着するまでも楽しめました。
引き潮ではなかったので、幻想的なサンドバーではありませんでしたが、supやボート、シュノーケリングで十分楽しめました。
帰りの船では寒さを感じたのですが、バスタオルを多めに持参してたので凌げました。

This is the second time I come here on this adventure. Great music, captain on boat is a super nice lady. My family loved the experience, the juice and donuts are a great add on to your experience.

KBOS was an amazing company to book with. We paid for the transportation, but if you plan to rent a car I would skip that part. It is a little tour bus and there are no bathrooms and no easy way to stop for restrooms. Just take your own car if you have one.
The experience itself was spectacular! The entire crew was super nice and went out of their way to make sure everyone had a good time.
The boat is huge- it is the largest boat at the end of the harbor area- you can’t miss it.
It has big tables with benches. Plenty of room for everyone. There are bathrooms on the boat and a room to change in. bring a towel with you if you think you might get cold. We went in bathing suits only and it was fine. A little chilly on the ride back in to shore, but not bad.
We paid for all the activities in advance and it was worth every penny. The banana boat ride was fun. I’m extremely overweight and I was still able to do the banana boat ride. They held the banana boat so I could easily get on and off.
The sandbar is beautiful! It is a must do experience and we loved it.
I would recommend water shoes, but some people didn’t have any and seemed to be fine.
The captain let us go up top and took a picture for us. Great view and perfect pic opportunity.
You can snorkel if you want- they have everything on the boat. We saw fish without snorkeling.
There is some music they play and it is really a nice way to spend some time. It is just the perfect amount of time to be out there too. Just enough time to do all the activities and enjoy the experience.
Bring snacks or drinks on the boat if you want. You can leave your bag and valuables right on the boat where you were seated. It seems super safe.
There is a little store at the harbor just before you get in the boat that sells alcohol and sunscreen and other items you may want.
The crew was super friendly and really tried to make it fun and make you feel welcome.
Bring tip money for the crew and for the band.

Great fun time, staff very friendly and helpful. Kid friendly

My hubby and I took our 9 and 5 year old on this Sandbar trip. It was a short boat ride out & the kids never got motion sickness.

Tour guide was very thoughtful and had a bunch of water toys for everyone, we had canoes, SUP, volley ball and various water sports stuff to go around.

It took 3-3.5 hours which is just perfect and right when we got tired it was time to head back.

The band playing music was very good and this is a nod to the singer as he was clearly a talent and easy on the eyes

This trip was great!! Just enough tabs priced reasonably oh and bring your own snacks & booze!! That was cool they let us pack our own munchies!

I participated around mid-March.

First of all, I found it most inconvenient that there was no pick-up service from the hotel in the Waikiki area. Since we were a group of ten, it would have been nice if they could have come to pick us up. The pick-up location was sent via SMS around 6 PM the day before, but it was written in a way like “◯◯ave. bus stop” instead of providing a map or address, which made it a bit unclear.

After getting off the bus and transferring to the boat, there were only orange juice and donuts available on board. I had seen photos and thought there might be muffins too, but it was just donuts!

When we arrived at the beach and entered the water, the water level was up to the shoulders of adults, so if you had small children, it was concerning to think about bringing smartphones or anything like that into the water. To top it off, we had two hours of free time, but the water temperature in mid-March was too low, and both adults and children were too cold, so we got out after just 40 minutes.

I don't think I will do this again!

3月中旬頃参加しました。

まず、ワイキキ地区のホテル泊でしたがホテルまでの送迎では無かった事が一番不便に感じました。
10人で利用したので、ホテルまで迎えに来てくれても良さそうですが…。
送迎場所も前日の18時頃SMSで来て、しかも地図や住所ではなく“◯◯ave.bus stop”みたいな書き方だったので少し分かりづらかったです。

バスを降りて船に乗り換えて、船の中にはオレンジジュースとドーナツだけありました。
写真を見ていたのでマフィンもあるのかな？と思っていましたが、ドーナツオンリーでした！

船が着いて海に入った時は、大人でも肩くらいまで浸かるような水位で小さな子ども連れの場合万が一の事を考えるとスマホなどは持って入れる余裕はありませんでした。
また極め付けは、2時間の自由時間がありましたが3月中旬の海は水温が低すぎて子どもも含め大人も寒すぎて40分で上がってしまいました。

次はやらないと思います！

I participated with six female friends in their 60s. On the moving boat, we all got excited with live performances and singing. During snorkeling, we were able to see schools of colorful fish up close, which was amazing. We also participated in activities like stand-up paddleboarding. The staff were very attentive during the activities, so even though it was my first experience, I had a fantastic time. Overall, I felt that all the staff were very welcoming to us participants.

60代の女友達6人で参加しました。移動の船内では、生演奏や歌で乗客みんなで盛り上がりました。シュノーケリングでは、色鮮やかな魚の群れが、本当に近くで見られて最高でした。サップなどのアクテビティにも参加しました。アクテビティでは、スタッフの方々がいろいろ気をつかってくれたので、初めての体験でしたが、最高に楽しめました。とにかく、スタッフ全員が私たち参加者をもてなしてくれた気がしました。

Excellent adventure with family!! Love the vibe and staff.

Mahalo!!!

This was such a fun excursion that my friends and I did in Hawaii! we all had so much fun and agreed it was the best thing we did our entire trip. They provide food and all the gear to snorkel or paddle board. The weather wasn’t the nicest when we went (cloudy) but we still had so much fun, and the staff was so nice!

The music from Kalani was great on the way out to the sandbar. He was so nice, making sure he was delivering the best Ohana. The sandbar was amazing, if it hadn’t been so windy it would have been the perfect day. My son didn’t hesitate to get out on the kayak and SUP. The fish were breathtaking in the reef. We will definitely be back. The staff were so amazing and so ready to help out with anything. We loved it as a family.

Sincerely,

It was unfortunately rainy on the day, but it cleared up after about two hours!
At first, it was cold, but I got used to it once I was in the sea.
I was glad to experience various activities like snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding.
I wanted to see a sea turtle, but unfortunately, I couldn't.
The staff were attentive, and they instructed us to return if we went too far, which made me feel safe while enjoying snorkeling.
There were only about four groups of Japanese people, but a few of them spoke broken Japanese, so we were able to communicate.
They also took photos for us, and I was very satisfied.

当日はあいにくの雨でしたが、2時間ほどで晴れてきました！
最初は寒かったのですが、海に入っていると慣れてきました。
シュノーケリングやサップなどいろいろ体験できてよかったです。
海亀に会いたかったですが、残念ながら会えなかったです。
スタップの方がしっかり見ており、遠くまで行きすぎるとスタッフがすぐに戻ってくるよう指示しており、安心してシュノーケリングも楽しめました。
日本人が4組ほどで少なかったのですが、日本語を片言で話してくださる方が何人かあり意思疎通が取れました。
写真も撮ってくれたり大満足です。

We had an amazing time! The weather was a tad chilly and windy but the crew was so kind and amazing!! 100% recommend! We are a family of 6 with teens and young children! All kids loved it ! So did we !! We were able to all paddle board, snorkel, and swim!

This adventure was just okay. Nothing extra. Nothing fancy. The staff was amazing but the entire experience was nothing impressive.

The weather was cool, cloudy, windy and even a little rainy. We still had a great time. The music was amazing! The food was good, and served shortly after we left the dock. The boat provided protection from the elements. The crew was fun and friendly. When we arrived on the sandbar we were able to kayak, and paddle board. There was a large area of buoys they asked us to stay within. They had lifeguards in the water with us. They had us wait to snorkel and recommended a very specific spot to snorkel. I was confused at first, but they knew what they were doing. The sun came out, the tide came up a bit, the variety of fish was amazing. As soon I would drift out of the recommended area the coral and fish were less plentiful. Our group of 8 had a great time, and if the weather had been nice 5 wouldn't be enough stars. The music alone was work the price. Don't hesitate to book this trip.

I was a bit anxious because I saw some unsatisfactory reviews for the week I was participating, but it turned out to be great. There was music during the trip, and we got to do stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, and snorkeling—all for a very reasonable price. It was my first time seeing fish swimming up close in the ocean. It was truly moving. I actually wanted to go to the heavenly sea, but I was very satisfied with this experience. I was grateful that I was able to make a last-minute reservation. All the staff were very cheerful and kind. I want to participate again!

私が参加する週で、あまり満足のいっていない口コミを見かけたのでドキドキしましたが、とても良かったです。行き帰りは演奏がありサップ、カヤック、シュノーケル全て行いこのお値段はとても良かったです。初めて海でお魚が泳いでいるところを間近に見ました。感動です。本当は天国の海に行きたかったのですが、こちらでとても満足しました。ギリギリの予約でも間に合ったのでありがたかったです。スタッフのみなさんもとても愉快で優しい人ばかりでした。また参加したい！！

It was very early and quite cold, but it was beautiful and a great experience! I was very satisfied with the free canoeing and SUP, and the live performances of Aloha and The Beatles on the boat!

朝早くてとても寒かったですが、とても綺麗でいい経験ができました！
カヌーやSUPも無料ででき、船の上では生演奏のアロハやビートルズが聞けて大変満足しました！

Went for a morning tour with my parents and two of my kids, everyone love it!!!! They give you some bread to feed the fish so that we see a lot of fishes swimming around during snorkeling. They have lots other activities for you to play around, and the most best part is: all the staffs are super nice, and they SING GOOD!!!
