We paddled about 500 meters offshore to Popoi'a Island from Kailua Beach in a tandem sea kayak. This time, there were three couples, including us, totaling six people. The ride to the island took a bit longer due to the side waves, but our guide was fantastic, providing guidance and encouragement throughout, with a couple of breaks along the way, which allowed even first-timers like us to enjoy it comfortably. Popoi'a Island is a sanctuary for birds, where we saw chicks, eggs, and parent birds warming their eggs, as well as sea turtles. The view of Lanikai Beach and the two islands offshore from the sea was incredibly beautiful. We arrived around 9 AM, and since our kayaking schedule was at noon, we rented bodyboards and went to Kailua Beach in the morning. The feeling of riding the waves all the way to the sandy beach was amazing, and I wished I could have played there all day. Our guide, Chiharu, was full of energy and smiles, making the experience enjoyable. She also provided various tips, so I was glad we chose a guided tour. However, it was unfortunate that the pizza shop was closed for renovations that day. The muscle soreness that followed in the days after became a good memory as well.
カイルアビーチから約500メートル沖合にあるポポイア島まで二人乗りシーカヤックで漕いでいきます。今回は、我々夫婦を含めて3組6名。行きは横波の影響もあり、少し時間がかかりましたが、ガイドさんの誘導(途中で2回程度の休憩を入れ、みんなに声をかけ続け)が素晴らしく、シーカヤック初挑戦の我々でも気持ちよく楽しむことができました。ポポイア島は鳥の聖域で、ひな鳥、たまご、たまごを温めている親鳥に加えてウミガメも見ることができました。また、海側から見るラニカイビーチやその沖合の二つの島は、とても美しい。この日は、9時頃到着12時からシーカヤックのスケジュールでしたので、午前中はボディボードを借りてカイルアビーチに行きましたが、波に乗って砂浜まで一気に行けた時の気分は最高でした。これだけでも一日中遊んでいたいと思いました。ガイドの「ちはる」さんは、元気いっぱい笑顔いっぱいで楽しませてくれました。いろいろとアドバイスもしてくれたので、やはり、ガイド付のツアーにして良かったと思いました。ただ、この日はピザのお店が改修中でお休みだったのが残念でした。また、翌日以降の筋肉痛も良い思い出になりました。

This was the first activity for two mothers and their daughters, along with a friend, on Oahu. My high school daughter led the way as we set sail... We were able to ride the waves three times! It was a quick experience, but my daughter was so happy that it became her favorite memory this time. They were taking photos on the water, but it was a shame we couldn't complete the procedure to receive the USB.

This time, I participated in a sea kayaking activity for the first time. Perhaps because it was an English-only tour, there were only my friend and I as Japanese participants. With just four parties, the guide provided detailed instructions. However, unlike the Japanese tours, it was a bit of a tough activity (laughs). After practicing kayaking for about 15 minutes, we enjoyed snorkeling in the world of Ryugu-jo. After that, the guide cheerfully sent us off, saying we had to paddle back to the starting point in 30 minutes (laughs). I wondered if there would be staff nearby to support us on a tour for Japanese people, but truly, the exhilaration of maneuvering the kayak and paddling across the sea by ourselves was something extraordinary that you can only understand by experiencing it. I greatly enjoyed the adventure of the vast ocean.
今回、初めてシーカヤックのアクティビティに参加しました。英語のみのツアーだったせいか、参加者で日本人は私と友人のみでした。4パーティのみで、きめ細かくガイドさんがレクチャーしてくれました。しかし、日本語ツアーと違って、スパルタ的なアクティビティでした(笑)。15分ほどカヤックを練習して、竜宮城の世界をシュノーケリングで楽しみました。その後、スタート地点まで30分でカヤックを漕いで戻ってね、と、ガイドさんは笑顔で見送ってくれました(笑)。日本人向けツアーなら、そばでサポートするスタッフがいるのかな?と思いながらも、本当に、自分たちの力でカヤックを操り、海の上を漕ぎ進む爽快さは、体験しなくてはわからないほど素晴らしいものでした。大海原のアドベンチャー、大いに楽しみました。

I was able to enjoy kayaking in the beautiful sea. It was a guided plan, and the guide was friendly, which was nice. However, it didn't seem like something that required a guide. It felt like information you could easily find online, haha. The flat island we landed on was closer than I expected; it's only about 500 meters from the beach. If you want to paddle a lot, I definitely recommend the plan without a guide. Also, getting the kayak to the beach was quite challenging. They do provide a cart, but it was a bit difficult for just women. A man from another group kindly helped us out. It would have been great if the kayaks were already set up on the beach. I’ve written a lot, but I think kayaking in Hawaii's beautiful sea will be a great memory!
綺麗な海でカヤッキング楽しむことができました。ガイド付きのプランでしたが、ガイドさんは気さくな方で良かったです。が、ガイドをしてもらうほどのものではありませんでした。ググれば出てきそうなことばかり、、笑 上陸するフラットアイランドも思ったより近い距離でした。ビーチから500メートルほどしかないそうです。たくさんカヤックを漕ぎたい方は断然ガイド無しプランがおすすめです。あとは、ビーチにたどり着くまで、カヤックを運ぶのが大変です。台車は貸していただけますが、女性だけではすこし難しいです。別のグループの男性が見かねて手伝ってくださったぐらいでした。カヤックはあらかじめビーチに用意しておいて頂けたら良かったです。いろいろ書きましたが、ハワイの綺麗な海でカヤッキングはいい思い出になると思います!
Dear Hawaii Lover,
Thank you for participating in our tour and for your comments. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the guided kayak tour. It seems that you found it a bit lacking, but with a 2-hour tour, it tends to be more of a flat island experience.
We also offer a 5-hour tour (in English) that goes to Twin Islands, as well as a self-guided kayak tour where you can explore on your own. We hope you will consider these options for your next visit. Our staff looks forward to welcoming you again.
Thank you.

On the day of the trip, we faced headwinds while heading to the uninhabited island, and we paddled desperately. The uninhabited island is a sanctuary for birds, and we walked around it to explore, but I went in flip-flops; I think marine boots would be easier for walking if possible. On the way back, there was no wind, and we made good progress. In the end, we had to pull the kayaks back ourselves, which I think would be tough for just the girls. There are three types of lunch to choose from, and I recommend the sandwich.
当日は無人島へ向かう行は向かい風で、必死に漕ぎました。無人島は鳥の聖地で一周歩いて見学しますが、私はビーサンで行ったのですけれども、できればマリンブーツの方が歩きやすいと思います。帰りは風もなく順調に進みました。最後にカヤックを自分達で引いて帰らなければいけなかったのでこれも女子同士だと大変だと思います。3種類の選べるランチがついていますが、私はサンドイッチがお勧めです。

I was excited to participate after hearing from others that it would be thrilling and fun even with small children. I joined with my 3-year-old and 8-year-old, making a group of four with one staff member and the captain operating the boat.
The kids didn't paddle, but they sat in the boat, paddling out into the blue sea of Waikiki on their own, following the captain's signals to paddle and rest while waiting for good waves. When a good wave came, they paddled hard towards the shore, and after that, the boat moved swiftly towards the land without needing to paddle at all. The first time was really enjoyable, and the kids were thrilled, saying they wanted to do it again.
For the second time, it seemed like we were waiting a long time for good waves, and when we finally got moving, it wasn't as thrilling as the first time. I had read in reviews that there would be three rounds, so I thought we could go again, but it turned out to be over...
If we could have caught one more wave, I would have felt satisfied, but with the price we paid for only two rounds, and the second one being lackluster, it left me feeling unsatisfied. The kids were also asking, "Is it over already?"
I was really looking forward to this, so I was a bit disappointed.
他の方の体験談をみて小さい子がいてもスリル満点で楽しいときいていたのでワクワクして参加しました
3才と8才の子どもと親子4人で参加しスタッフのかた一人と船を操作する船長さんとのりました
子供たちは漕ぎませんでしたが船に座り、ワイキキの青い海に自分たちでこいで沖へでて、船長さんの合図にあわせて漕いだり、休んだりしていい波が来るのを待って、いいなみがきたら思い切り漕いで陸に向かって漕ぐとその後全く漕がなくてもすごい早さで陸に向かってスーッと進んで1度目はすごく楽しかったです。子供たちもすごく喜んでもう一回やりたいといって再度沖へ、
2回目はなかなか良い波がこないのか待ち時間も長くやっと動かしても1度目よりあまりスリルもなく...
口コミでは3回はあると書いてあったのでもう一度行ってもらえるかと思ったら、何と終了 。。。
せめて、後一回波に乗れていたらそれなりに満足でしたがこの値段で2回しか出来ず、しかも2回目は不発で言葉も微妙なのでもう一回と言うこともできずすっきりしない感じで終わりました。
子供たちももう終わり?ってかんじで...
凄く楽しみにしていたのにちょっとがっかりでした

We participated as a family of four. Without any explanation, we got on the canoe and received instructions on how to hold the oars while paddling. As soon as we headed out, waves came, so we were told we would return after two rides, which took about ten minutes. It was so brief that we asked for another round. If we hadn't asked, we would have only had two rides.

It was my first time canoeing, but thanks to our guide Masa, I managed to make it back and forth. However, I think it would be helpful if the need for a tip was clearly stated on the voucher. Since the package included transportation and lunch, I only brought about ten dollars in cash, and I felt bad that I couldn't give a tip. Perhaps because of that, I still haven't received the photos that were supposed to be sent via email.
初めてのカヌーでしたが、ガイドのマサさんのお陰でなんとか往復できました。ただ、チップが別途必要であれば、バウチャーに明記してほしいと思います。というのも、送迎と昼食つきでしたので、10ドル程度の小銭しか現金を持参しておらず、申し訳なかったのですが、チップをお渡しすることもできませんでした。そのためか、メールで送るといっていた写真もいまだ届かずです。

We participated as a family of five. It was our first experience riding the waves right in the middle of Waikiki Beach, and everyone was thrilled. The guide was also attentive and explained everything well.
There was one downside: the activity time was short. Depending on the guide's discretion, it could end in about 15 to 20 minutes. We managed to ride the waves about three times. Since we asked to do a bit more, we ended up riding for around 30 minutes and about five times, but if you don't say anything, it could very well end in 15 to 20 minutes with just three rides. So, be cautious about that.
However, this is definitely one of the activities I would like to participate in again when we go back to Waikiki. We had a great time!

ワイキキビーチのど真ん中で波に乗るということを初めて体験でき、みんな大喜びでした。
ガイドも丁寧で説明も上手です。
難点が一点。アクティビティーの時間が短い。
ガイドの思いひとつで、15~20分程度で終わりの場合もあるようでした。
波に乗ることが3回程度でしょうか?
私たちは、もう少しやらせて欲しいと相談したので30分、5回くらい波に乗りましたが
何も言わなければ15~20分、3回で終了もあり得ます。要注意ですね。
しかし、またワイキキに行くときには参加したいアクティビティーの一つですね。
楽しい時間を過ごせました。
Thank you for the four-star review. This activity guarantees that you will ride the waves twice, but depending on the wave conditions, it may be completed in as little as 15 minutes. In some cases, based on the guide's (canoe captain's) judgment, you may be able to ride the waves more than twice as a service. When there are no waves, there may be a waiting time, which can take around 30 minutes. The website for booking the outrigger canoe surfing mentions that you will ride the waves twice and that the average time is 20-30 minutes.
We look forward to your next visit!

On the day we arrived in Hawaii, our family of four (two adults, a middle schooler, and an elementary schooler) participated. The introduction page mentioned "everyone paddles together" and "participants must be 3 years or older," so I assumed everyone would be paddling. However, when we participated, only the two adults were allowed to paddle. The children, aged 13 and 11, were told by the captain in English, "If I give the oars to the kids, they'll lose them, and that would be a problem," so they could only ride along. Instead, two male helpers paddled with us, but the kids were disappointed, so I wish we had known this when signing up. *I saw in other reviews that it mentioned "it's okay if women and children don't paddle," but in our case, it was more like "the kids wanted to paddle, but they weren't even allowed to hold the oars." The surfing itself was really fun and went by too quickly. Since we only had two runs, it felt a bit unsatisfying.
ハワイ到着日に、家族4人(夫婦・中学生・小学生)で参加しました。
紹介ページには「みんなで息を合わせて漕ぐ」「3歳以上参加可能」などと書かれており、全員で漕ぐものだとばかり思っていましたが、参加してみると、漕がせてもらえたのは大人2人だけ。子供たちは13歳と11歳ですが、船長さんから「子供にオールを渡すと、なくすから困るんだよね~」と英語で言われ、漕がせてもらえず、ただ乗るだけでした。代わりに助っ人さん(男性2人)が一緒に乗って漕いでくれましたが、子供たちはがっかりしていたので、できれば申込時に知りたかったです。※他の方の口コミに「女子供は漕がなくても大丈夫」というような記載がありましたが、私たちの場合は「子供たちも漕いでみたかったのに、オールさえ持たせてもらえない」状況でした。
波乗り自体は本当に楽しくて、楽しすぎて、あっという間でした。2本だけだったので、何だかちょっと物足りないくらいでした。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. However, I sincerely apologize for not being able to provide the service that met your expectations.
Normally, when children participate, the captain assesses whether they can paddle based on their size at that moment. While it seems there was an explanation from the captain about losing the oars, the actual reason is that it is difficult for children to paddle effectively in the waves. Therefore, we try to have adult customers paddle as much as possible. I deeply apologize for the lack of proper explanation on the activity page before your participation. To ensure that customers do not feel the same way in the future, we have added a note regarding children's paddling on the activity page.
We take your feedback seriously and, together with the operating company, will strive for further service improvement. Thank you very much for your valuable feedback despite your busy schedule.

通常はお子様にご参加いただく場合、船長がその場で身体の大きさなどからパドリングが可能かどうか判断しております。船長よりオールをなくされるためと説明があったようではございますが、実際はお子様に漕いでいただいた場合、波に乗るのが難しいという理由からできる限り大人のお客様にパドリングしていただいてるようです。ご参加前にアクティビティページ上にきちんとしたご説明がございませんでしたこと深くお詫び申し上げます。今後お客様を同じようなお気持ちにさせることがないようアクティビティページにお子様のパドリングに関して注意書きを追加させていただきました。

We participated as a group of four. At first, we preferred canoeing, but the initial part was free time. The kayak was difficult to paddle against the headwind on the way out, but it was fast on the return with the tailwind. Tomo's explanation on the uninhabited island was very good. Thank you very much.
4人で参加しました。最初カヌーがよかったのですが、最初がフリータイムでした。カヤックが向かい風で行きはなかなか進みませんでしたが、帰りは追い風で早かったです。無人島でのトモさんの説明がとてもよかったです。ありがとうございました。

The surfing itself was refreshing and enjoyable, but there was hardly any explanation, and it ended after just two waves in about 25 minutes. It felt a bit overpriced for such a brief experience.
波乗り自体は爽快で楽しいものでしたが、説明もほとんどなく2回波に乗って25分ほどで終わりました.呆気なく割高に感じました.
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. However, I sincerely apologize for not being able to provide a service that meets your expectations.
During the canoe surfing tour you participated in, our local staff strives to ensure that customers can ride the waves at least twice and enjoy the tour. Depending on the conditions of the day, it is possible to ride more than twice, but we determined that two rides were appropriate based on the conditions on that day. We will work with the operating company to improve the explanation of the tour on-site.
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience.

This was a lot of fun but I think it would have been better if the bus would go to the waterfall and one beach place to allow more time to do activities. Our bus driver was informative but repeated himself alot which did get a little annoying at times.

Beautiful location and no crowds. We loved having kayaks and paddleboards to use leisurely.
It was better than we had expected.

I'm really glad I participated in this tour. I chose the plan with a Japanese-speaking guide, who was very kind, and kayaking was fun, with beautiful seas that were just amazing.
I had free time in the morning and kayaking in the afternoon. During the free time, I quickly rented a bike and headed to Lanikai Beach. It took about 10 minutes by bike from the kayak rental base, so I enjoyed cycling there. As expected, it was definitely much cleaner and clearer than Waikiki, with fine sand that made me think, "This is what a Hawaiian beach is all about!"
In the afternoon, after learning the basics of kayaking, I took the kayak out to sea. While the round trip might be challenging, kayaking was so much fun. Paddling to a deserted island with my wife was a great experience. We were also lucky enough to see seabirds and a sea turtle with the guide's explanations on the deserted island!
Since my wife wanted to go to Lanikai Beach (the "Heavenly Sea"), it was great that we could include it in this tour, making it a win-win situation.
Also, the pizza for lunch was delicious.
このツアーは参加して本当に良かったです。私が参加したのは日本語ガイド付きのプランでしたが、その方も親切でしたし、カヤックも楽しくて、海も綺麗で最高でした。
私は午前中が自由時間、午後がカヤックでした。午前の自由時間では、すぐに自転車を借りてラニカイビーチに向かいました。カヤックを借りる拠点から自転車で10分程度だったため、楽しくサイクリングしながら着きました。例に漏れずワイキキよりも断然綺麗で透き通ったビーチで、砂もサラサラで、これぞハワイのビーチ!と思わせる場所でした。
午後のカヤックも一通り操作を教えてもらったら、カヤックを連れて海へ。確かに往復のカヤック移動は大変かもしれませんが、それ以上にカヤックが楽しかったです。無人島まで奥さんと一緒に漕いだのは良い経験になりました。また無人島でもガイドさんの説明付きで、運が良かったのか海鳥?やウミガメも見れました!
奥さんが、「ラニカイビーチ(天国の海)」に行きたい!と言っていたので、このツアーで組み込めたので、一石二鳥でした。
あと、お昼ごはんはピザが美味しかったです。
Dear hk1226,
Thank you for your visit and your comments. We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour. It sounds like you were very lucky to see both turtles and seabirds during the kayaking tour. We all sincerely look forward to your next visit. Thank you very much.

There are plans with a guide and plans without a guide, but I always choose the one with a guide. Despite the price difference, the satisfaction level exceeds the cost. I always participate when going to Kailua in Oahu. The content of the tour varies slightly depending on the guide, and the way time is spent is also different, so even if you're paddling the same course, the experience is unique. If you think it's a bit expensive, I encourage you to go for the guided option!
ガイド付プランとガイドなしプランがありますが、いつもガイド付にしています。
価格の差はあれ、満足度が価格以上にあります。
オアフにカイルアに行くときはいつも参加しています。
ガイドさんが違うと案内の内容もすこし違うし、時間の使い方も違うので同じコースを漕いでいても楽しみ方が違います。
ちょっと高いなーと思っている方は、思い切ってガイド付で参加してみてくださいね。
Utoro-san,
Thank you for visiting and for your comment.
The guided kayak tour is safe and offers insights into the nature of Kailua, along with slightly different routes each time, making it an enjoyable experience.
We hope to see you again soon. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you back.
Thank you.

Picked this tour to the north shore due to the choice of activities and since it had pick up from Waikiki. Mike was our guide and informative. Snorkelled at Shark's cove then headed to Waimea Bay for some snorkelling and beach time. Then chose to paddle boarding down the river near Haleiwa instead of kayaking. Ended the tour at Haleiwa. Good tour for the time spent up north and activities you could participate in and p/u provided.

If your looking to spend a beautiful morning in the water followed by a great lunch with highly informative guides then this is for you. I am a highly anxious person and they made you feel at ease and also catered for my allergy to gluten with the whole lunch being gluten free! Picked us up from our hotel and returned us after lunch. Couldn't of been easier!
Aloha,

We went with five family members: three adults and two children aged 8 and 3. The two children were not prompted to wear life jackets, but we could borrow them for free if we asked. They provide three to four practical sessions. The staff members at the back steer while we paddle, so the girls and kids were fine just holding the oars. Riding the waves was more thrilling than we imagined! During our first try, while riding the waves, a Japanese surfer suddenly appeared, and we had to steer to avoid him, almost capsizing. Foreigners were all very good at dodging. For those who can't swim and for children, wearing a life jacket is absolutely essential. This kind of situation is rare, but it was quite scary. Since my 3-year-old was frightened, we ended our attempts after three tries, including one failure. They seemed willing to let us go again, but we decided to finish. Middle schoolers and above will have a blast!
大人3人8才3才の家族5人で乗りました。子供2人のライフジャッケトの着用促されませんでしたが、一応、無料で、こちらから頼み無料で借りれました。3回から4回実地してくれます。こぐのもスタッフ2人が後ろで舵をとりながら、してくれるので、女子供はオールを持ってるだけでも大丈夫でした。波に乗ると想像以上にスリリング!!最初のトライの時、波に乗ってる中で、サーファーの日本人が飛び出してきて、こちらが、舵を切りよけて、横波に当たられ転覆寸前でした。外人さんはみんな上手によけてくれます。泳げない方や子供は絶対にライフジャッケット必須です。こんなことは、まずないようでしたが、ビビリマシタ。3歳の子供が怖がったため、失敗入れて3回でトライ終了。もう1回行ってくれそうでしたが、終了してもらいました。中学生以上は、メッチャ楽しめます。
Thank you for the five-star review! We look forward to your next visit!
