Since we switched places with the previous group at the water's edge, there was no guidance before boarding, but they provided instructions in Japanese, so I was able to enjoy it without any issues.

●Meeting place… It was convenient, very close to the hotel.
●Itinerary… Arrival at the shop, tour explanation, free time, lunch, kayaking, conclusion. I thought the free time was in the afternoon, and I only figured out how to spend that time on-site, so I wish there had been a bit more information about that.
Here are my thoughts on each aspect.
●Free time… I had breakfast at a shop about a three-minute walk from the store. They had various options like tortillas and hot dogs. There were also souvenirs available. You can rent bicycles at the shop. It seems you can reach Kailua Town in about 10 minutes. Toward the beach, it takes about 10 minutes to Kailua Beach, and from there, it took just under another 10 minutes to get to Lanikai Beach. They provided a video guide for the route, and the staff gave me a map and explained it. The shop also rents out snorkeling sets, so it would have been nice to plan to take one and play in the ocean, but I didn't plan that far ahead, so I just ended up looking at the beach.
●Lunch… You can get tickets for a meat-based lunch plate shop adjacent to the shop or a pizza place. The pizza was very delicious.
●Kayaking… After learning how to paddle at the shop from 12 PM, you carry the kayak to the sea yourself. They can help you get into the kayak, but after that, you paddle straight toward an uninhabited island about 600 meters away. The staff accompanies you, so it's reassuring.
●Uninhabited island… Upon arriving at the island, we took a short break and had some water and snacks. Then we walked around the island. We enjoyed a pleasant stroll while receiving guidance about the island and taking photos. After that, we kayaked back to the beach.
●About the shop… There are lockers with locks, changing rooms, restrooms, and showers. The showers are outside, so they are just for rinsing off sand. You can buy beach essentials and souvenirs at the shop. They provide excellent support in Japanese, which was reassuring.
The staff were friendly, creating a great atmosphere, and thanks to them, I had a wonderful experience and memories.
Kayaking isn't too difficult, so I think even those who aren't good at sports can enjoy it. I recommend it for those who want a little adventure in the Hawaiian sea and feel that just swimming might not be enough!
●集合場所…ホテルのすぐ近くで便利でした。
●行程…ショップ到着、ツアー説明、自由行動、ランチ、カヤック、終了。自由行動が午後だと思っていたのと、自由行動の過ごし方も現地でやっとわかったので、その辺りの情報がもう少しあるとよかったかな、と思います。
以下、それぞれについて感想です。
●自由行動…ショップから歩いて3分ほどのお店で朝食をとりました。トルティーヤやホットドッグなど、いろいろあります。お土産もありました。
ショップではレンタサイクルが借りれます。
カイルアタウンまで約10分でいけるそうです。ビーチ方面では、カイルアビーチまで約10分、そこからさらに10分弱でラニカイビーチまでいけました。道のりはビデオで案内してくれましたし、スタッフの方が地図をくれて説明してくれました。ショップではシュノーケルのセットなどが借りれるので、持って行って海で遊べたらよかったのですが、そこまで計画できてなかったので、ビーチを見て終わりました。
●ランチ…ショップに隣接するお肉系のランチプレートのお店か、ピザのお店のチケットをもらえます。ピザがとても美味しかったです。
●カヤック…12時からショップで漕ぎ方を教えてもらったあと、カヤックを自分で海まで運びます。カヤックに乗り込むのは手伝ってもらえますが、あとは600メートルほど先の無人島を目指してひたすら漕ぎます。スタッフさんもついているので安心です。
●無人島…島に着くと、少し休憩し、お水とおやつをいただきました。そこから島を歩いて一周します。島の案内をしていただいたり、写真を撮ったりしながら楽しく散歩しました。その後、カヤックでビーチまで戻ります。
●ショップについて…鍵付きロッカー、更衣室、お手洗い、シャワーがあります。シャワーは外にあるので砂をさっと洗い流す程度です。お店ではビーチで必要なものやお土産も買えます。日本語対応はバッチリなので安心でした。
スタッフさんは気さくな方ばかりで、雰囲気の良く、おかげさまでとてもよい体験と思い出ができました。
カヤックはそんなに難しくないので運動が得意でない方でも楽しめると思います。
ハワイの海でちょっと冒険したい方、泳ぐだけでは物足りないかな?という方にオススメです!!

It was my first time kayaking, and I was anxious about going out to sea since I'm not a strong swimmer. However, the instructor was very kind, and since there were five kayaks (ten people), we had instructors in front and behind us, which made me feel secure while paddling. As a result, I was able to enjoy it without capsizing. I'm very satisfied since this is something I can't experience in Japan. If the afternoon session had been one hour longer, I feel like I could have enjoyed snorkeling and shopping even more. During the kayaking, they took many photos, and I was told they would send them to me via email later, so I'm really looking forward to that.
カヤックは初めてで泳ぎも不得意で、沖合に出るのに不安を感じてましたが、
インストラクターの方がとても親切で、5艇(10人)だったので、前後にインストラクターがついてくれ、安心して漕ぐことができました。結果的に、転覆
もなく、とても楽しむことができました。日本では経験できないので大満足です。昼からの時間がもう1時間長ければ、シュノーケリングやショッピングも
もっと楽しめて気がします。

It was my first time kayaking, and I had a great time. Before heading out to sea, we received a brief lesson on paddling, but it was still a trial by fire. However, I gradually got used to it, so my anxiety faded away.
Our guide, Ryusei, really boosted our spirits, making the kayaking experience even more enjoyable. Thank you very much. I definitely recommend going with a guide. The staff members were also very kind.
However, during the drive from the meeting point to Kailua Beach Adventures, the driver (who was not Japanese) didn't greet us at all. Additionally, on the return trip, there was no announcement like "The next stop is ○○," so if I had dozed off, I would have missed my stop. Is this just part of the responsibility in Hawaii...? Even if they can't speak Japanese, I think they should at least provide this information.
But the kayaking was fun. I would like to try it again next time.
初めてのカヤックでしたが、十分楽しめました。
海に出る前に簡単な漕ぎ方を教わりますが、やはりぶっつけ本番です。でも段々と慣れていくので不安はなくなります。
ガイドのりゅうせいさんが気分を盛り上げてくれ、より一層楽しいカッヤック体験になりました。ありがとうございました。
是非 ガイド付きをお勧めします。スタッフの方々も優しいです。
しかし、集合場所からカイルアビーチアドベンチャーズまでの道中運転手さん(日本人ではない)が何の挨拶もなし。また復路ではカイルアビーチアドベンチャーズがら解散場所まで、「次の停車場所は○○です」の案内がないので自分が寝過ごしてしまったら最後、降りるべき所で降りれない。これもハワイ、自己責任なのでしょうか・・・
日本語が話せないとしてもこれだけは案内すべきと思います。

Kayaking was a bit difficult, but it was a lot of fun! It was interesting to land on a flat island and receive explanations about various plants and birds. I was also happy to have the opportunity to take photos in different places. At one point, we had a chance to surf on the waves while kayaking, and the chances of capsizing were fifty-fifty. I did end up capsizing, but I think it was worth trying. I got some scrapes and cuts during the capsize, but the guide helped me out with medicine and band-aids. In the afternoon, I had free time, so I rented a bike and went snorkeling in the sea. I really enjoyed it!
カヤックは漕ぐのはちょっと難しかったんですが、とても楽しかったです!
平らな島に上陸して色々な植物や鳥の説明をしてもらえるので面白かったです。
そして、色々な所で写真を撮ってもらえるのも嬉しかったです。
途中カヤックでの波乗りをやる場面があり、転覆する確率は五分五分。見事に転覆してしまいましたが、やってみる価値はあるかと。転覆の際、擦り傷切り傷ができてしまったんですがガイドさんが薬と絆創膏をくれたので助かりました。

I used the oars to paddle until we got out to sea.
I also enjoyed the sensation of being slammed down onto the water's surface when hitting larger waves.
Even for those who can't surf, it was a refreshing experience that allowed me to understand the feelings of surfers!
思いの外スピードが出たのでビックリしました!

Additionally, with the charter, you can reserve two canoes together, making it suitable for team-building events as well.

You have to transport the sea kayak from the shop to the sea by yourself, but it was fairly easy because we attached wheels to the bottom of the kayak. It was a bit challenging after removing the wheels.
It was our first time kayaking, and getting in was difficult. Because of the waves, we couldn't get in as smoothly as we wanted... but someone nearby helped us, so we managed to get in.
Once we were out on the water, it was tough to paddle against the strong wind, but as we got used to it, it became enjoyable.
We went to Lanikai Beach and thought about trying snorkeling, but there weren't many fish. That was a bit disappointing. However, the ocean was incredibly beautiful.
We returned the kayak in the early afternoon and rented a boogie board to spend the rest of our time. Since there weren't many people, we were able to enjoy the boogie boarding.
シーカヤックは、お店から海まで自力で運ぶのですがカヤックの下に移動用のタイヤを付けるのでまぁまぁ楽でした。タイヤをとってからが少し大変でした。
私たちは初めてのシーカヤックだったのですが、乗り込むのが大変でした。
波があるので思うように乗り込めなくて・・・・、近くで見ていた人が助けてくれたのでなんとか乗れました。
海では風が強くアゲインストに対して漕ぎ出すのは、大変でしたが慣れてくると楽しかったです。
ラニカイビーチまで行き、シュノーケリングをしてみようと思ったのですがあまり魚はいなかったですね。少し残念。でも海は最高にきれいでした。
お昼過ぎにカヤックを返して、ブギーボードを借りて残りの時間を過ごしました。
人が多くないのでブギーボードが楽しめました。

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 :)

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!

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.

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.

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。
Dear Participants,
Thank you for joining the tour and for your comments. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed kayaking and Kailua. We hope you will visit us again. All of our staff are sincerely looking forward to your next visit.
Thank you.

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.
Mahalo Nui Loa,

I thought it would be quite hard, but the guide helped us along the way and talked to us a lot, so it was really fun!! Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy, but I definitely think you should have a guide. It became a wonderful memory! Thank you very much!
けっこうハードかなと思ってましたが、途中からガイドさんが助けてくれたり、たくさんんお話してくれたので、すごく楽しかったです!!
あいにく天気は曇り空でしたが、絶対ガイドさんはつけるべきだと思います❀✿すごくいい思い出になりました!ありがとうございました!

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。

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。
Dear Kacchan,
Thank you for visiting and for your review. We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed kayaking. Currently, the wild birds have just returned, and they will soon be laying eggs and raising their young. Please do come back to see the wild birds again. Our entire staff is looking forward to welcoming you.
Thank you.

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!!
写真も動画も購入でき、まさにプライスレスな体験でした。
Thank you very much for your five-star review! We are delighted to hear that three generations participated together and enjoyed the experience!
Our outrigger canoe surfing is designed for a wide range of ages, and it is more affordable compared to other activities. Additionally, the outrigger canoe is deeply connected to the history of Hawaii, so we hope many people will have the opportunity to experience it. It's worth noting that outrigger canoe surfing can only be experienced here at Waikiki Beach in the world. Comments like yours help reassure other customers, so we greatly appreciate it.
We look forward to your next visit!
5つ星の口コミ、誠に有難うございます!三世代でご参加なされて、皆様一緒に楽しんで頂けてなによりです!
弊社でもアウトリガーカヌーサーフィンは年齢層の広いお客様に楽しんで頂け、値段も他のアクティビティーより安く、そしてアウトリガーカヌーはハワイの歴史にとても深く関係する乗り物ですので、沢山の方に体験していただきたいと思っております。なお、アウトリガーカヌーサーフィンを体験できるのは、世界でここ、ワイキキビーチだけなのです。 お客様の様な体験のコメントをして頂きますと、他のお客様へも安心してご参加なさって頂けるのでとても助かります。
またのお越しをお待ちしております!
