Second time! 2回目！

This year, we participated in outrigger canoeing for the second time as a family of four, following last year. This time, there were waves, and it was very exciting. For those who haven't tried it yet... I highly recommend it!

Everyone here was very helpful and eager to make sure you have everything you need. They also have some of the full face snorkel masks. Ask for one. Otherwise you'll get the same old and its hardest for a novice to remember to breath through the mouth alone.

A Great Tour

Reviewed by: HulaHoney

The staff was great. If you get tired of kayaking they can tow you in. We snorkeled along some rocks. We saw a turtle and fish. It was nice to get out of Waikiki. The lunch was great too. One of the guides took pictures then shared them with us.

I would do this tour again.

Sam was our driver and tour guide. He was very informative and we learned a lot about not just The North Shore but also Hawaii.
We were able to change activities if when we checked them out we changed our mind. Sam explained the activities well and made everyone feel comfortable.

Having a blast in Waikiki! ワイキキでおおはしゃぎ！

Reviewed by: TK3

We participated as a group of three women and two men. I thought I could manage with canoeing even though surfing was out of the question, but we ended up paddling quite a bit. However, the exhilaration of catching a wave was exceptional, and everyone was super excited. It doesn't require any special skills, so I think anyone from adults to children can easily enjoy it. Just a heads up, if you're in the front seat, the instructor will be shouting, "Paddle harder! Faster, faster!" so be careful. If you slack off, you won't be able to catch the waves properly.

女子3名、男子２名のグループで参加。サーフィンは無理だけど、カヌーならなんとかなると思っていましたが、結構漕がされました。でも、波に乗ったときの爽快感は格別で、皆テンション、マックスでした。特別な技術も必要ないし、大人から子どもまで誰でも手軽に楽しめると思います。ただし、１番前の席はインストラクターから「1番、もっと漕いで！　速く、速く！」と叱咤激励されますので、要注意。サボってはうまく波に乗れません。

It was so much fun!!!!!!! めっちゃ楽しい！！！！！

Reviewed by: MAHALO

I've been to Hawaii over ten times, and I've always thought, "I want to try this next time!" but I never got around to it. This time, making a reservation with Alawaan was definitely the right choice. Every time I surf at Canoes in Waikiki, I've seen this outrigger canoe and thought, "That looks fun!" I thought I would only get to ride it once or twice, but I ended up going four times and was very satisfied. It was exciting even with small waves, as we picked up speed. Next time, I want to ask for some photos too!

ハワイに10数回来てますが、今度はやりたい！次回はやろう！と思いつつ、なかなか出来ませんでした。今回は事前にアラワンさんで予約をして大正解でした。毎回ワイキキのカヌーズでサーフィンしてる時に、このアウトリーガーカヌーを拝見し・・・『楽しそう♪』と思ってました。1～2回乗るだけかな？と思ってたら4回も乗れて大満足。小波でもスピードが出て面白かったです。次回は写真もお願いしてやりたいと思います！

Great guided kayak tour with Tomo

Reviewed by: Petrus Van Aardt

I really enjoyed the 2 hour guided kayak tour with Tomo. As we were just three in our group we made faster progress than normal so Tomo took us for a visit to Lanikai beach first before we continued on to Flat Island. I enjoyed the walk on the island as Tomo told us lots of interesting facts about it. Time flew by and too soon we had to return to the beach. I definitely recommend this tour even to newcomers and Tomo was a great guide to have.

Zoe and Natalie were amazing guides. Both were friendly, patient and informative. We loved the kayaking and for me it was my first time snorkeling. We battled sun, wind and a rain storm-very interesting. Lunch at the end was just the icing on the cake. Starving after all our hard work! Only change I would suggest, would be to put in changing rooms, as not so nice trying to get dressed and dry in the toilets.

It was fun! 😊 楽しかったです(^^)

Reviewed by: だいねこ

We were both complete beginners, but we participated without a guide. When going without a guide, there are no lessons on paddling or anything like that. After watching a video and putting on the life jackets, we were given the kayaks and had to make our way to the sea on our own. My husband and I managed to reach the uninhabited island, but I recommend going with a guide for first-timers.

The sea was incredibly beautiful, and the view from the uninhabited island was amazing. During our free time, we borrowed snorkeling gear and had fun. It seems my husband has become quite fond of kayaking. Everyone at the shop was very nice, so I would love to participate again if I get the chance.

夫婦揃って全くの初心者でしたが、ガイドなしで参加しました。ガイドなしの場合、漕ぎ方などのレッスンはありません。ビデオ見て救命具着けたらカヤックが渡され、自力で海まで行きます。主人と2人で何とか無人島まで行くことは出来ましたが、初めての方はガイドありをお勧めします。
海はとっても綺麗で、無人島からの眺めも最高でした。空いた時間にはシュノーケルを借りて遊びました。主人はカヤックにはまった様です。ショップの方は皆さん良い方だったので、また機会があれば参加したいです。

Kailua Bay 2-Hour Guided Kayaking Tour with Lunch - Explore Tide Pools & More!

Best Kayak ever

Reviewed by: Joanna

Kayaking on the ocean with Kailua Beach Adventures might be one of the best activities we did for our honeymoon. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the area and give us some great information about the culture and islands.

My husband and I both have done kayaking before, but has never done it in the ocean. There were some waves and it can be a little challenging for those who have never done kayaking before.

One thing to be prepared is some labour work. You need to drag your own kayak to the ocean with a cart they provide. You also need to drag it back. It was not super far, but definitely energy consuming. Most staff members are very friendly. I had a little hard time jumping into the kayak with the waves, the person looked a little annoyed with that and had a bad attitude. She might just be having a bad day.

During the kayak, they have professional photographers taking photos of your group and you can purchase them at the end of your tour for $39. There were about 40 in the package. The lunch coupon gives you three or four lunch choices nearby. Mostly box lunches or pizza with a drink.

I forgot one of my my shopping bags at their shop and called them the next day, they had it sent to my hotel, which was very nice!

We had an overall wonderful experience. We will definitely do it again given the chance!

Great tour! I had a lot of fun. 良いツアー！楽しめました

Reviewed by: 初ハワイ

I think the schedule will change quite a bit depending on whether the free time comes before or after kayaking. Since we had free time first, we were able to enjoy shopping and lunch at a leisurely pace. The pizza for lunch was surprisingly large, something you wouldn't see in Japan.

Kayaking can be moderately tiring depending on the wind, but for those who really can't do it, the guide will tow you, so I think even those who aren't confident in their physical strength will be fine.

The uninhabited islands and the sea are beautiful, and the guide's stories are enjoyable. I think it's a great tour packed with a lot in just half a day.

A waterproof case for your phone and camera is essential!

The guide was having so much fun that we almost missed the bus back, so I deducted one point for that.

カヤック以外のフリータイムが先になるか、後になるかでずいぶん予定が変わると思います。
私たちは先にフリータイムだったので、ショッピング、ランチ等ゆっくり楽しむ時間がありました。
ランチのピザは日本ではありえない大きさで驚きます

カヤックは風にもよりますが程よく疲れます。どうしてもできない方はガイドさんがけん引してくれるようなので体力に自信のない方も大丈夫だと思います。

無人島や海はきれいだし、ガイドさんの話も楽しいし、半日で盛りだくさんの良いツアーだと思います。

防水のケースに入れた携帯やカメラは必須です！

ガイドさんも一緒にぎりぎりまで楽しみ過ぎて帰りのバスが危なく乗り遅れるところだったのでマイナス１ポイントさせてもらいました

Had a great time Kayaking and snorkelling

Reviewed by: Jeevan

Everything ran like clockwork. The pickup from the hotel was on time and everything was ready for us to go when we arrived. As a new Kayaker I found the instructions helpful and really enjoyed the Kayaking. It was not only good fun but has given me the confidence to do a lot more kayaking in the future. As a part of the tour we also did some snorkelling in between kayaking. While snorkelling I saw five turtles and just before going out to snorkel we also saw a sting ray. I had high expectations for this tour and it managed to exceed them!

I must say thank you to Kevin who was our guide who was willing to answer all out questions and guided us around expertly making us feel at home on the water.

The lunch provided was great after having spent so much energy. It really hit the spot!

The next day, I suffered from muscle pain in my arms and the sting of sunburn, but I had a very enjoyable time. The instructors prioritized safety while also providing assistance and ensuring we had fun. If I could wish for one thing, since we went all the way to Kailua, it would be great if they could extend the return time a bit so we could enjoy more activities.

翌日以降、腕の筋肉痛と日焼け痕のひりひりに苦しんでますが、非常に楽しい時間を過ごしました。インストラクターの方々が安全を優先し、時折援助しつつも、しっかりと楽しませてくれました。欲を言えば、せっかくカイルアまで行くので、帰りの時間をもう少し遅くしてくれると楽しめることが増えるのにな、と。

Reviewed by: Rob

Did this tour one morning, the guide who gave us the tour of the place was great, made us feel welcomed. The walk to the beach was definitely interesting but if your not prepaired to lug around a heavy canoe be aware you also have to cross a busy intersection. If you drive to the shop you can ride all day which was a good perk. Once in the ocean it was dangerous but fun because waves were big but we still had fun.

My wife and I had never kayaked before and were a little nervous about an ocean kayak. We had contacted the provider before booking and they assured us that they could accommodate even first-timers, which they certainly did. The guides explained everything we needed to know about handling the kayak and were with our group, which they keep small, at all times from launch, through the ocean paddling, and landing. Our guide, Clay, was extremely knowledgeable about kayaking, the bird sanctuary island, which is the destination, and the islands in general.
Everything that was listed in the description of the excursion was provided.
