Discover Oahu’s North Shore from Waikiki with The Surf Bus - Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Waimea Falls

Good Time

Reviewed by: Fatima

My daughters and I had a great time The tour bus picked us up on time . The tour guide /driver provided us a lot of information and history about the island, restaurants and all important sites we drive by . He was was funny too . He answered every ones questions.He allowed us enough time for breaks and photos. We had an amazing time at the Waterfall, my youngest had a foot surgery last year and she can’t walk too fast , we where having a great time swimming in the waterfall pool that we lost track of time . We had 15 minutes to make back to the bus , knowing my youngest can’t walk too fast or run my oldest said “ I’ll have him wait mom “ and took off running ( she runs track and cross country) . We had to be back by 12pm , we ( my youngest and I) made by 12:05 , My oldest daughter was happy the driver waited for us , we all were :). Then we drove to the snorkeling site , the tide was low and it was too rocky, I have never snorkel and I’m not a great swimmer, so we walked up to do some shopping and had a fresh coconut. We made our last stop at Haleiwa, the driver recommended some restaurants . The girls and I had a wonderful time , we ate and did some shopping. He was on time to pick us up . On the way back to the hotel we were tired and feel asleep. Overall we had a great time, we visited a few places and I didn’t have to drive through all that traffic I feel bad I forgot the drivers name , He was knowledgeable and I felt safe with him behind the wheel while the girls and I enjoy the activities and sites . The only reason I didn’t rate outstanding is because the snorkeling was not fun , the waves were too strong and the tide was too low , too rocky, but no one can really control that :)

アウトリガーカヌー・サーフィン  ハワイ伝統のカヌーでワイキキの景色を眺めながら波乗り体験!<0.5~1時間/ロイヤルハワイアンホテル>

Surfing is the best! 波乗最高!

Reviewed by: みつばち

I was imagining a leisurely canoe ride with everyone paddling together, but in reality, we paddled out to the open sea and waited for the waves, riding them back to the shore like surfing. The intense splashes of water and the sense of speed made it quite exhilarating. We rode about four waves, and each wave was relatively long, requiring a good amount of energy to paddle, so I was very satisfied with the number of rides. Only four people held paddles, but a total of six people, four men and two women, were able to join in.
It was so much fun, so I highly recommend it for groups!

ただみんなで漕いでお散歩するカヌーを想像していましたが、実際は沖まで漕いで波を待ち、サーフィンのように一気に浜に向かって波乗りで帰ってきます。激しい水しぶきとスピード感でかなり盛り上がりました。4本くらい波乗りしましたが、1本の波乗り距離も比較的長く、漕ぐのに体力も使うので、本数的にも十分満足しました。パドルを持つのは4人のみですが、男性4人女性2人の計6人で同乗できました。
とても楽しかったのでグループにはおすすめです!

North Shore Clear Bottom Kayak Tour & Turtle Watch from Haleiwa Beach

Best tour on the North Shore - Turtle Paradise

Reviewed by: mcavalheiro

This kayak tour is incredible, the clear bottom allows you to see all the marine life. Kayaking on the waters of Haleiwa was one of the best things I've ever done. The coral formation is so beautiful, you see so many fishes and turtles.
I have never seen so many turtles in my life, they are everywhere, even in the river. OMG it was amazing, Haleiwa is the turtle paradise!
But I have to say that this is tour is not just about the scenery, the guide made this experience be even better. The local guides grew up on the North Shore and they are so nice and knowledgeable about the area. If you wanna see turtles and if you are looking for a perfect day on the North Shore you should book this tour. A true unique experience in Hawaii.

North Shore Clear Bottom Kayak Tour & Turtle Watch from Haleiwa Beach

Worth going Rain or Shine

Reviewed by: Nunia T.

My friend and I woke up early in the morning and drove ourselves out to Haleiwa for this tour. The sky looked really overcast and were already thinking the worst that the tour would not be great however we were wrong. This is the perfect kayak tour to do on a sunny or even rainy day. Visibility was still clear and when entering into the Turtle River with all the rain, if felt like we were in a National Discovery scene exploring the amazons. We seen so much turtles in the river and so much fishes out in the ocean. It is also a plus that the kayaks are clear ans see through so you can just record and take pictures from inside your kayak instead of risking it out and losing it.

We were picked up at our hotel, brought through a scenic drive to Kailua and Lanikai Beach. We had about 2 hours to kill at one of the most beautiful beaches on Oahu.

It was amazing. 最高でした

Reviewed by: 参加者

I had a guided kayaking experience. In the morning, we kayaked, and in the afternoon, we borrowed bicycles and snorkeling gear to go cycling.

In the morning, we had a guided kayaking experience where the guide taught us a lot. We landed on a small island, and the guide shared interesting information about the island's wildlife, which was very enjoyable. We had the option to choose between guided or non-guided, but the guide's stories were so fascinating that I would prefer to have a guide again if I use the service in the future. The guide also took many photos for us, and we were able to receive the photo data later.

In the afternoon, after having a meal, we borrowed bicycles and cycled to Lanikai Beach. Kailua was beautiful, but Lanikai was also a wonderful place, and I was very satisfied to visit both.

When I was deciding whether to book the kayaking tour in Honolulu or Kailua, choosing Kailua was definitely the right decision. Waikiki is lovely, but I thought it would be quite difficult to get to Kailua on my own, so being able to experience the tour and enjoy the atmosphere of a different beach was fantastic. There were also various activities like Segway tours, so if I have the opportunity to go to Hawaii again, I think it would be nice to try different experiences.

ガイド付きのカヤック体験をしました。
午前中はカヤック、午後は自転車やシュノーケルの道具を借りる事ができるのでサイクリングをしました。

午前中は、ガイドの方に教えてもらいなぎらカヤック体験をしました。カヤックで小さな島に上陸し、島の生き物の事等いろいろ教えてくれ、とても楽しかったです。ガイド付きか無しか選べましたが、ガイドの方のお話もとても面白く、再度利用するとしてもガイド付きにしたいな思えました。
ガイドの方が写真も沢山撮って下さり、後で写真のデータを貰うことも出来ました。

午後は、食事をした後、自転車を借りてサイクリングでラニカイビーチに行きました。カイルアも綺麗でしたが、ラニカイもとても素敵な所で、どちらにも行けて大満足です。

カヤックツアーに申し込む際に、ホノルルかカイルアか迷いましたが、カイルアにして大正解でした。ワイキキも素敵ですが、カイルアの方に自力で行くというのはなかなか難しいなと思ったので、ツアーも体験できて、違うビーチの雰囲気も楽しめて最高でした。
カヤック以外にもセグウェイ等色々あったので、またハワイに行く機会があれば、体験するものを変えて参加するのもいいなと思いました。

Outrigger Canoe Surfing with Waikiki Beach Boys

So Fun!

Reviewed by: Andrea

I would highly recommend doing this adventure! This was my second time but my husband, and 2 kids (ages 10 & 7) first time. Easy to find the location and the people were very friendly. It was easy to do and once you catch the wave, it's so exhilarating. It is very cool to see Waikiki Beach from the ocean too! Such a great memory to share with my family.

Aloha, Andrea:

Mahalo for taking time to write a generous 5 star review! We are glad that your family had a wonderful time. Waikiki Beach is the only place in the world that you can experience Outrigger Canoe Surfing, and Outrigger Canoe is a very significant transportation that influenced Hawaiian culture. Outrigger Canoe paddling is also the only Hawaii State sport. We hope that more people will have a chance to experience this cultural activity, and that you will also return again soon.

It would have been perfect if the weather had been nice. 天気がよければ最高でした。

Reviewed by: SSES

The weather was bad, but I enjoyed it.

It was difficult to carry the kayak to the coast. I think it's impossible for two women without assistance. I understand the reason for needing to carry it individually due to the location, but I forgot whether that was mentioned in the tour details. A tip of 15%-20% of the tour fee is requested during the final survey of the tour. It would be nice if the price included the tip, even though it becomes quite expensive. I was glad to receive the photos later via email, but there were no comments or anything, which felt a bit cold. I wondered if it was because the tip was small.

天気が悪かったですが楽しめました。

カヤックを海岸まで運ぶのは大変です。
女性2人の場合は手伝ってもらわないと無理だと思う。
立地環境の問題で個人で運ばないとダメな理由はわかりますが、
ツアー詳細にその旨を記載していたかは忘れてました。
チップはツアー代の15%-20%を
ツアー最後のアンケートの際に要求されます。
高額になりますがチップ込みの料金にしてもらうと嬉しいです。
写真は後でメールしていだだいて良かったですが
その際にコメントなどはなく、そっけないものでした。
チップが少なかったからかとも思いました。

Dear SSES,

Thank you for participating in the tour and for your valuable feedback.

Indeed, when women participate together, pulling the kayak can be quite a challenging task. We should perhaps communicate more clearly that, by law, our staff cannot assist with this. I will convey this to the higher-ups. Thank you.

Regarding the tipping matter, I apologize for any misunderstanding. Tips are voluntary and not mandatory. The absence of comments in the email was not due to a lack of tip; rather, it was an oversight on the part of the staff not to include comments. I will ensure that our staff is reminded of this. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.

When you visit Hawaii again, please do come and visit Kailua. We look forward to seeing you.

Thank you.

ツアーにご参加、及び貴重なご意見ありがとうございます。
そうですね、通常、女性同士でご参加の場合、カヤックを引っぱって行くのは大変な作業かと思います。法律上、スタッフがお手伝いできないことは、もっとお知らせすべきかもしれません。上のものに申し伝えさせて頂きます。ありがとうございます。
また、チップの件ですが、誤解を招いてしまったようで、申し訳ございません。チップは、お心付けですので、必須ではございません。また、チップが少なかったから、メールにコメントがなかったということではなく、スタッフがコメントを記入しなかったという失態です。スタッフには、厳重に注意してまいります。大変失礼致しました。
またハワイにお越しの際には、是非ともカイルアに遊びにいらして下さい。お待ちいたしております。
ありがとうございます。

Kayaking was fun. カヤックが楽しかったです

Reviewed by: カッちゃん

At first, I was worried that I might not be able to paddle out because the waves were strong and pushing me back as I was trying to get from the river to the sea. However, if you choose the right spot, you can definitely make it out to the open water. It was a lot of fun as we kept moving forward.

On the way, we landed on Flat Island, which had many wild birds that didn't mind having their pictures taken up close, so I could take as many photos as I wanted.

Since the kayak exposes your legs, I recommend applying sunscreen on them as well.

最初、川から海に出るところで波が激しくて押し戻されるため、漕ぎ出せないかもと不安になりましたが、場所を選べばちゃんと沖に出ていくことが出来ました。どんどん進むのでとても楽しかったです。
途中上陸したフラットアイランドには野鳥がたくさんいて、近くで写真を撮っても嫌がらないので、撮り放題でした。
足がむき出しになるカヤックなのでちゃんと足にも日焼け止めを塗っておくことをお勧めします。

Refreshing, after all. とにかく爽快

Reviewed by: たびびと

We participated as a three-generation family (ages 77 to 11).

Paddling with an oar required more strength than I expected, and my delicate 11-year-old daughter couldn't hold the oar and was a bit sulky. Initially, while I thought we wouldn't capsize, I couldn't say I was completely unconcerned about paddling out into the open water. However, once we started paddling, those thoughts vanished, and I enjoyed the beautiful scenery immensely.

When we caught a wave, it felt exhilarating! I was also moved by the colors of the waves from the side, which I usually don't get to see. I think I will never forget those waves.

My 77-year-old parent seemed to enjoy it very much and praised it highly! We were able to purchase photos and videos, making it a truly priceless experience.

三世代(77歳~11歳)で参加しました。
オールで漕ぐのは思っていたよりは力が要り、華奢な11歳娘はオールを持てず少々ふてくされていましたが。
当初、転覆しないとは思いながらも沖へ漕いで行くのに全く心配なかったとは言えなかったのですが、漕ぎだすとそんな思いはすっ飛んで、とても楽しく景色のきれさにうっとりしながら楽しめました。
波に乗ったときは気分は爽快!!しかも普段は見れない 横からの波の色 に感動しました。 あの波は一生忘れないと思います。
77歳の親もとても楽しめたようで大絶賛でした!!

You have a fully narrated ride over to the North Shore telling you virtually everything about the island. Also all landmarks are pointed out. You arrive get snacks if needed. You are then dropped off at your first activity. The falls etc. Pk up time is set you meet back at bus and your off to bike,kayak,shop or lunch or whatever. Your pk up time is set for your hassle free ride back to waikiki. All fully narrated back. Worth every penny. AC was our guide and knew everything about the island. Was the highlight of our trip.

We had a nice day out. The kayaking trip was nice, not strenuous at all and fun to go with. It was just us two with our guide who took us out to a small rock island known for nesting birds. We didn't see any as we were there at the wrong time of year. It was still nice to have a little wander around. The guide was informative and flexible and took us for a kayak showing us a local beach After spending a couple hours kayaking we returned our kayaks and they provided two bikes and some snorkelling gear which was nice was to spend the remainder of our afternoon. Pick-up was punctual and hassle free. The staff were very friendly. Would definitely recommend. If you're after something a bit more challenging though, they do also do a longer guided tour to some cool looking island a bit further away.

What a wonderful day! 素晴らしい一日!

Reviewed by: かばこ

I was moved by the beauty of Kailua Beach. In the morning, I rented a bicycle and took lunch to Lanikai Beach. It was quiet, relaxing, and I was enchanted by the beauty of the beach. Along the way, we got caught in the rain, but everyone managed to wait it out by covering themselves with towels or moving around. Riding the bicycle after the rain felt great.

In the afternoon, we had a kayak tour with our guide. It was my first time, but with the staff's support, I was able to get on the kayak, and I was thrilled when we started paddling. The scenery was amazing! We were blessed with good weather and no wind. Our guide, Tomo, taught us about the island's ecology and took photos for us. Tomo remembered everyone's names. The two hours flew by, and even though I was a bit tired, I enjoyed dragging the kayak back to the shop. Thanks to the staff's prompt guidance.

I want to participate again. The kayaking, beach, and other activities are all appealing, and I also want to visit the town—it's such a wonderful place that it leaves you wanting more.

カイルアビーチの美しさに感動でした。
午前中は自転車を借り、ランチを持ってラニカイビーチへ。静かで、のんびり、そしてビーチの美しさにうっとり。途中、雨に降られましたが、みんなタオルをかけたり、移動したりで雨宿りしてやり過ごしてました。雨上がりの自転車が気持ち良かった。
午後はガイドさんとカヤックツアー。初めてでしたが、スタッフのフォローで無事乗り込み、漕ぎ出した時は感動。景色が凄い!風もなくお天気に恵まれました。ガイドのトモさんに島の生態に教えて貰ったり、写真を撮って頂いたり。トモさんは参加者全員の名前を覚えてくれました。あっという間の2時間でしたが、ちょっと疲労と共にカヤックをゴロゴロ引いてショップまで帰るまで楽しみました。スタッフの皆様のテキパキとした案内のおかげです。

カイルア カヤック&シュノーケルツアー 選べる日本語ガイド付きカヤックツアーまたはセルフガイドカヤックツアー ビーチアイテム&昼食付き<送迎付きプランあり>

The sea was lovely, but... 海は素敵でしたが…

Reviewed by: Cho

I requested a kayak without a guide. The staff at Kailua Beach Adventures seemed too busy, and their explanations were one-sided. There were also some minor troubles between the staff in front of customers, which dampened the mood a bit.

I had to carry the kayak to the ocean myself, which was a bit of a hassle. Additionally, I later realized that I didn't receive the water bottle that was mentioned.

The ocean was beautiful, and kayaking was fun. I went snorkeling at Lanikai Beach, and I did see coral reefs and fish swimming around. The water was fairly clear.

ガイドなしカヤックをお願いしました。カイルアビーチアドベンチャーズの店員さんは、忙しすぎたようで、説明が一方的でした。店員さん同士のちょっとしたトラブルも客の前であったりして少し気分が萎えました。
海までカヤックを自分で運ぶのですが、これはちょっと面倒です。それから、後々気づいたのですがくれると書いてあったWaterbottleをもらえませんでした。
海はきれいで、カヤックも楽しかったです。ラニカイ・ビーチでシュノーケルをしましたが、確かにサンゴ礁や魚が泳ぐ姿が見れました。水の中は普通にきれいぐらいです。

Dear Cho,

Thank you for your visit and your valuable feedback. It is true that it was busy on the day of your visit, but I sincerely apologize that our staff's response was not sufficient.

Regarding the explanation upon arrival, we typically ask everyone to listen to it, so I hope you can forgive us for it being one-sided. We will work on making it more enjoyable for everyone in the future.

As for the water issue, it seems there was a misunderstanding between the service you used, Veltra, and our company. Currently, we do not provide aluminum bottle water service. I apologize for that.

Unfortunately, due to Kailua's regulations, we must ask customers to transport the kayaks themselves. I understand it can be heavy, and I apologize for that as well.

I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the ocean in Kailua with the kayak. Due to the heavy rain at the end of the year, the water was still murky on January 2. Normally, the waters of Lanikai are much clearer.

We hope you will visit Kailua and Lanikai again. We look forward to welcoming you back. We will take your feedback into consideration and strive to make your experience even more enjoyable in the future. Thank you very much.

Sincerely,
The Staff at Kailua Beach Adventures

Cho様

ご来店及び貴重なご意見、ありがとうございました。
ご来店日、忙しかったのは確かですが、スタッフの対応が十分でなかったようで、大変失礼致しました。
到着時の説明は、皆様に聞いておいて頂かないことを説明させて頂いていますので、一方的になってしまうのは、お許し下さい。今後、皆様に楽しく聞いて頂けるよう、工夫してまいります。
お水の件ですが、お客様のご利用頂いたベルトラさんと、弊社の方で、手違いがあったようです。今現在、アルミニウムボトルのお水のサービスは致しておりません。申し訳ございません。
カヤックを運んで頂くのは、カイルアの条例上、大変申し訳ないのですが、皆様お客様自身にして頂いております。重たいですよね、申し訳ございません。。。
カヤックでカイルアの海を楽しんで頂けたようでよかったです。年末の大雨の影響で1月2日はまだ水が濁っていたようです。ラニカイの海は通常、もっときれいなんです。
また、是非、カイルア、ラニカイにお越し下さいますよう、お願い致します。お待ち致しております。
Cho様のご意見を参考に今後、皆様にさらに楽しんで頂けるよう、努力してまいります。ありがとうございました。

Continuing from last year 昨年に引き続き

Reviewed by: まーてぃん。

Last year, I went stand-up paddleboarding. Although it was said that the wind was strong and we would only be on the river, the wind calmed down and we were able to go out to the ocean and really enjoy ourselves. The staff were friendly, and I remember the lunch pizza being delicious. So this year, I went sea kayaking. The wind was indeed strong again, and unfortunately, we only stayed on the river, but I was able to ride a rental bike to Lanikai. The water was cold, so I didn't go snorkeling, but they do offer rentals. This year, I also had the pizza again. The crust is delicious. It was a great experience.

昨年、SUPしました。風が強く川だけとの話だったのですが、風が弱まり海に出られ満喫しました。スタッフの方も気さくで、ランチのピザも美味しかったのを覚えてます。なので、今年はシーカヤックをしました。やはり風が強く、残念ながら川だけでしたが、レンタル自転車でラニカイまで行けました。水が冷たく、シュノーケルはしませんでしたが、貸してくれます。今年もピザをいただきました。生地が美味しいです。満喫です。

Dear Martin,
Thank you for visiting us again this year.
It's a bit disappointing to hear that the weather has turned the area into a river, but I believe the views and the beautiful mansions visible from the river are still lovely.
We all look forward to welcoming you back again.
Thank you.

North Shore Clear Bottom Kayak Tour & Turtle Watch from Haleiwa Beach

Highly Reccommend! Ask for Steve!

Reviewed by: Rebecca

To begin, customer service over the phone was fantastic. The tour itself was exactly what I was hoping it would be. We got Ocean, we got River ( the glass bottom kayaks are fantastic), and we got Steve- an entertaining yet professional
Guide who was the perfect combination of laid back and instructive. He even let one of our group take over his paddle board even though that’s not what we signed up for and she loved it! Overall great experience.

It was a heavy rain, but... 豪雨だったけれど、、、

Reviewed by: やまはな

I tried kayaking! ♬ Unfortunately, it was raining on the day I participated, or rather, it was pouring. This was my fourth time, and it was the first time it rained... But despite the high waves, I did my best and challenged myself to kayak. Unlike the calm sea, I was completely exhausted, but it was fun! After kayaking, I planned to rent a bike and go shopping, but the shop staff kindly drove me to Kailua Town because it was deemed dangerous. That was very nice of them. By the way, the photo was taken at Lanikai Beach when I participated on a sunny day! ♬

カヤックに挑戦しました♬
参加した日はあいにくの雨、と言うか豪雨。
リピート4回目にして、初の雨、、、
でも、高波の中、頑張って自力でカヤックに挑戦しました。
穏やかな海とは異なり、すっかり体力を消耗しましたが、楽しかったです!
カヤック後は、自転車をレンタルしてショッピングに出かけようとした所、危険との事でショップの人が車でカイルアタウンまで送り迎えしてくれ、とても親切で良かったです。
ちなみに、写真は晴れた時に参加した際にラニカイビーチで撮影しました♬

Thank you very much for participating in the kayak tour during the recent heavy rain and high waves, and for taking the time to leave a comment.

At 63 years old, I was anxious about trying outrigger canoeing for the first time, but it was an amazing experience. I encourage everyone to give it a try. Make it a wonderful memory in Waikiki, Hawaii.

Kualoa Ranch Private Beach at Secret Island - Kayak, SUP, Volleyball & More

Secret Island Beach Kualoa Ranch

Reviewed by: Letty Torres

Beach was beautiful, but it felt that the time was too short. Would've liked it longer. Catamaran cruise is included with this. Same trip if you purchase the Catamaran cruise by itself. You get two in one but it shortens your time at the beach. And sadly we were not told this, so we did 2 Catamaran trips which were exactly the same. No difference. Secret beach itself was beautiful with hammocks, kayaks, etc available.
