Great fun and food

Natalie and Zooey were awesome! We had an amazing day. They took pictures and shared it with us.

The only downside is that the snorkeling was not in clearer waters.

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>

The child couldn't paddle. 子供は漕げませんでした

Reviewed by: ぽてとん

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.

この度はツアーにご参加いただき誠にありがとうございます。
しかしながら、ご期待に沿ったサービスを提供できませんでしたこと、心よりお詫び申し上げます。

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。
お客様からのお言葉を真摯に受け止め、催行会社と共に、今後さらなるサービス向上に努めてまいります。
お忙しい中、貴重なご投稿を賜りまして、誠にありがとうございました。

Outrigger canoe surfing: Challenge yourself with traditional Hawaiian canoeing in Waikiki! アウトリガーカヌー・サーフィン  ワイキキでハワイ伝統のカヌーに挑戦!

Reviewed by: メリー

This was a tour I had heard about from an acquaintance and absolutely wanted to try. It may seem simple to paddle out with a canoe and ride the waves back, but it’s incredibly fun. It takes about 30 minutes, so it's a great way to make some good memories when you have a little free time. I highly recommend it!

これは知り合いから聞いていて絶対やりたいと思っていたツアーでした。
カヌーで沖までこいで波に乗って帰ってくる単純に思えますが最高に楽しいです。
時間にして30分くらいなのでちょっと時間が空いた時に参加すると良い思い出になりますよ。

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.

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.

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.

Fun Time but a little rushed

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.

The sense of accomplishment from kayaking, the incredibly beautiful sea at Kailua Beach and Lanikai Beach! カヤックの達成感、カイルアビーチ&ラニカイビーチの最高に綺麗な海!

Reviewed by: hk1226

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。

I keep coming back repeatedly. 何度もリピート中

Reviewed by: うとろ

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。

Really enjoyable tour to the North Shore

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.

  • fish at shark's cove

  • busy Tuesday am at Shark's Cove

  • Shark's cove

  • Waimea Bay

  • Waimea Bay beach calm in summer;40 foot waves in winter

More thrilling than I imagined. 想像以上にスリリング

Reviewed by: 西野栄美子

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。

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!

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.

Thank you Zoe and Natalie.

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。

Surfing is the best! 波乗り サイコー

Reviewed by: ケントモ

With the instructor's signal, we paddled hard and rode the waves in the canoe. We even encountered a sea turtle along the way, which was a delight. During our third attempt, we were able to ride some really impressive waves, and it was a lot of fun!

インストラクターの方の合図とともに、一気に漕いで 波に乗るというカヌー。途中で海ガメにも遭遇し 大喜び。3回目のチャレンジではかなり迫力ある波乗り出来て楽しかったです!

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

Kaneohe Bay Kayak & Snorkel Self-Guided Tour [Tour Not Available]

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!
