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

Surf Bus great!

Reviewed by: Lisa H

First time on surf bus, me(45), niece(25), son(9), daughter(4). Only paid for 1 activity each because we didnt know the time schedule or what would work best. Pick up 8:15am. Nice tour of different beaches at north shore. Finally arrived at 1st activity spot at 10:30 me/daughter went to waimea beach, niece/son waimea falls and walked to us. Others did snorkeling. Picked up at 1pm. Next stop haleiwa where we got 1 paddle board and 1 double kayak. Son loved padded boarding by himself! We switched off and met back at 3. Others walked through town and ate. We did great with just one activity eac (2 waimea waterfall entrance, 1 paddle board, 1 kayak). Others did th snorkel then th paddle board the 2nd half. The falls walk was hot and long but my son still enjoyed. Beach was nice for me and my 4 year old to float in the calmer waves. Definitely enjoyed our trip! Nice ending was a couple days later I realized I had left my daughter's life jacket (brought a good one for my entir vaca

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

Should have rented a car instead

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

Not much of a tour. Driver OK - very little information given during ride, made a few recommendations. Driver dropped everyone off then went surfing for both the morning and afternoon sessions.
Other folks in group disappointed in the amount of walking, lack of bike helmets and places where the road had no bike trail.

It's tough, but fun. しんどいけど楽しい

Reviewed by: yamato

Upon arriving at the shop with lockers, we received an explanation and headed to Kailua Beach. After that, we had lunch and kayaking, so we only had about an hour to play at the beach. Kailua Beach is very beautiful, and the breeze felt nice.

As for kayaking, to be honest, it was tough for me as someone who is not athletic and has a bit of a flabby body, but I somehow managed to reach the uninhabited island in last place. This led to a bit of a quarrel between us, which brought down the mood, but we were encouraged by the instructor's energetic and reliable presence, and we ended up having a great time. On the uninhabited island, the instructor shared stories about birds and mythology, which was enjoyable.

For those going with a partner who may not have much stamina, please lead them without getting angry. That's the secret to having fun!

ロッカーのあるショップに到着すると説明をうけてカイルアビーチへ。その後ランチとカヤックがあるので、ビーチで遊べるのは実質1時間くらいでした。
カイルアビーチはとってもきれいで、風がきもちよかったです。
さてカヤックですが、運動音痴でブヨブヨバディの私には正直しんどかったですが、最下位でなんとか無人島に到着。そのことで夫婦喧嘩になりテンションがさがってしまったのですが、インストラクターの元気で頼りがいのある逞しい姿に後押しされ楽しく過ごせました。無人島ではインストラクターの方が鳥や神話の話をしてくれて楽しかったです。
体力のないパートナーと行かれる方は、怒らずにリードしてあげて下さいね。それが楽しむ秘訣ですよ。

I paddled like crazy!! とにかく漕ぎまくった!!

Reviewed by: Kei&Tomoe

This time, there were only my husband and me on the guided tour. My husband has kayaking experience, but I was a beginner. The guide kindly taught me how to get into the kayak and how to use the paddle. With a spirited "Let's get to it!" we walked for about three minutes with our gear, and in front of us was the beautiful blue ocean of Kailua, welcoming us with a sea turtle! It was so cute popping its head out of the water. However, there was no time to be amazed as I nervously got into the kayak and set off into the open sea. We paddled hard, following the guide towards an uninhabited island about 300-400 meters away. Despite the headwind, as we paddled, another sea turtle swam nearby! In a moment of surprise, we forgot to paddle and exclaimed, "Wow!!!" After a brief moment of excitement, I quickly returned to focus, being careful not to hit the turtle with my paddle, and we paddled for another 20 minutes before safely arriving at the island. The guide explained in detail why this island was formed, the habits of migratory birds, and that it is a protected area. Along the way, we found a pair of migratory birds in a hole and discovered crab shells, all while having a great time walking around the island. After that, we expressed our desire to go snorkeling at Lanikai, and the guide happily agreed, so we got back into the kayak. Paddling from the island to Lanikai Beach was challenging as we had to paddle at a right angle to the waves to avoid being swept onto the sandy beach. Fortunately, we encountered another sea turtle along the way. This time it was a baby turtle, small and adorable! We couldn't believe how lucky we were to see so many turtles as we made our way to "Heavenly Sea." Lanikai has many coral reefs, making it a perfect spot for snorkeling! We enjoyed snorkeling with the guide, greeted by small fish, large fish, and colorful fish, which made all the paddling fatigue disappear. Although I’m not very good at swimming and couldn’t go far, the guide was thrilled, saying, "Look at this big fish (about a meter long)!" After about 15 minutes of snorkeling, we took pictures together and had a blast! The two-hour tour went by in a flash, and we kayaked back to Kailua, where we said goodbye to the guide. After that, we had lunch at a pizza place and enjoyed some free time. Of course, we returned to Kailua Beach afterward!

今回、ガイドさん付きのツアーは私達夫婦一組だけ。夫はカヤック経験者だけど、私は初。そんな私のためにカヤックの乗り方、パドルの使い方を丁寧に教えてくれました。『実践あるのみダネ~♪』と意気揚々と道具を持ち、海へと歩くこと3分ほど。目の前にはカイルアの青い青い海が広がっていて、海ガメさんがお出迎え♪顔を水面から出したりしててカワイイ~。が、、、感動する暇もさほどなく、おっかなびっくりカヤックに乗っていざ大海原へ。。300~400m離れた無人島を目指してひたすらガイドさんについて漕ぐ、漕ぐ、漕ぐ。。向かい風にも負けず漕いでいると、ゆらゆらと別の海ガメさんが近くを泳いでる!!まさかの遭遇に、漕ぐのを一瞬忘れ二人で『おぉ~~~っっ!!!』と大騒ぎ!!感動も束の間、ふと我に返りパドルを亀さんにぶつけないように気をつけながら再び漕ぐこと20分。島に無事に到着♪なぜこの島が出来たのかとか、渡り鳥の習性、保護地区であることを詳しく教えてくれました。途中、穴の中に渡り鳥のツガイを見つけたり、カニの抜け殻を見つけたり、大騒ぎしながら一周歩きました。その後、ラニカイへ渡ってシュノーケルをしたい、という私達の希望をガイドさんは快く引き受けてくれて、再びカヤックへ。島からラニカイビーチまでは波に対して直角に漕ぐので、砂浜に流されないようにするのが大変だった・・。嬉しいことに、その途中でも海ガメさんに遭遇。今度は子ガメで、小さくて可愛かったぁ~(*^^*)こんなに会えるなんて思ってもみなかっただけに、ラッキーなことこの上ないね、と話しながら『天国の海』へ。ラニカイはサンゴ礁がたくさんあって、シュノーケルには絶好の場所!ガイドさんと一緒にシュノーケルを楽しみました。小さな魚や大きな魚、色とりどりの魚たちが出迎えてくれてさっきまで漕ぎまくった疲れも吹っ飛びましたね。泳ぎがあまり得意ではなく、遠くまでは行けなかったけどガイドさんは『こ~んな大きな魚(1メートルくらい)がイタヨ!』と大喜びでした☆
15分ほどシュノーケルを楽しみ、写真を3人で撮り合い、大騒ぎしてとても楽しかった~!!!!2時間のツアーガイドもあっという間で、再びカヤックでカイルアへ向かい、Shopへ戻ってガイドさんとはお別れ・・・。その後はピザ屋さんでのランチとフリータイム。ランチ後はもちろん再びカイルアビーチに戻りましたが♪キレ

Super time!

Reviewed by: Jamie

I had friends visiting the islands, and they wanted to do something a bit different, and 'off the beaten path' so I decided to take them Ocean Kayaking over in Kailua! We headed out, a bit late, and got there and the staff at Kailua Sailboards and Kayaks were amazing and friendly, telling us all the best insider tips for kayaking out there! We got out into the ocean, and it was extremely windy and choppy, but it was so much fun heading out to Flat Island and then over to the beach for a bit of relaxing snorkeling and sunbathing. Thanks again to the great staff at Kailua Sailboards for all their help with everything kayak and ocean related, my friends and I had a blast braving the elements and spending the day out on the water!

I was moved by the beauty of the ocean. 海の美しさに感動

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

While driving in Kailua, I saw people kayaking towards an island, and I just had to try it myself, so I quickly returned to the hotel and signed up for a guided tour.

My 9-year-old son and my 70-year-old father, along with the whole family, enjoyed it. While paddling towards the island, the staff kept a watchful eye on us, which made us feel safe. The beauty of the ocean goes without saying, and once we landed on the island, they provided explanations about nature in Japanese, which was very informative.

For lunch, we chose pizza, and it was incredibly delicious, which surprised us. The slices were large, so I was worried about whether we could finish them, but they were so tasty that our whole family devoured them.

I'm really glad I participated since it's an experience you can't easily have in Japan! This is an activity I want to repeat.

カイルアをドライブしていてカヤックで島に向っていく様子をみかけたので、どうしてもやりたくなって、早速ホテルに帰ってガイド付きのコースを申し込みました。

9歳の息子も70歳の父も家族全員で楽しめました。島にむかって漕いでいる間はスタッフが目をくばってくれるので、安心です。海の美しさは言わずもがな、島に上陸してからも自然についての説明を日本語で行ってくれるのでとってもためになりました。

ランチで私達はピザを選びましたが、このピザのおいしさがとんでもなくおいしく、びっくり。スライスが大きいので食べれるか心配でしたが、あまりのおいしさに家族みんなぺろりでした。

日本ではなかなか経験できないので参加して本当によかった!リピートしたいアクティビティです。

Breathtaking view! 絶景!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I highly recommend it! I usually struggle with group activities, so this was my first time participating in something like this, but the local staff were incredibly friendly and naturally made it fun to learn, creating a warm and relaxed atmosphere. On the day of the activity, the wind wasn't too strong, so we paddled to Lanikai Beach and enjoyed the beautiful beach before heading to a deserted island. Lanikai has crystal-clear waters that are breathtaking, fine sand, and we even spotted some sea turtles in the distance... you absolutely have to experience it at least once. In the afternoon, we had some free time, so I rented a bike and rode for about 10 minutes to Kailua Shopping Center. There are many unique shops that you won't find in Ala Moana, and I really enjoyed shopping there.

ぜひオススメします!グループで動くのがニガテなのでこういうアクティビティに参加するのは初めてでしたが、現地スタッフがとにかく自然に楽しそうに親切に教えてくれるので、ほんわかとした雰囲気でのんびり楽しむことができました。当日はあまり風も強くなかったので、ラニカイ・ビーチまでこぎ、美しいビーチを堪能してから、無人島をめざしました。ラニカイはうっとりするほど澄んだ海、サラサラの砂、少し遠くにウミガメの姿も見え・・とにかく一度味わってみてください。午後はフリータイムがあったので、レンタル自転車を10分ほどこぎ、カイルアショッピングセンターへ。アラモアナにはない個性的なお店が多く、買い物も楽しめました。

The last time I went to Hawaii, I visited Kailua Beach, but that time I only had free time on the beach and ended up with too much time on my hands. This time, I decided to join a kayak tour.

It's a small uninhabited island close to the beach, and the guide spoke in Japanese, which made it quite enjoyable. They also teach you how to paddle a kayak at the beginning, so I think it's a tour that's easy for beginners to join.

前回ハワイに行ったときにもカイルアビーチに行ったのですが、その時は浜辺で自由行動だけだったので、時間を持て余してしまい、今回はカヤックツアー付きにしてみました。
浜辺から近い小さい無人島なのですが、日本語でガイドしてくれて結構楽しかったです。カヤックの漕ぎ方も最初に教えてくれるので初心者の方にも参加しやすいツアーだと思います。

We were able to participate on a wonderful day with great weather. I thought kayaking might be tough for us as a couple in our fifties, but we only felt a bit tired in our arms and managed to paddle all the way to the island offshore. Along the way, a sea turtle came very close to our kayak, which was really lucky. It will be a lifelong memory.

A wonderful time at the best beach. 最高の海で楽しいひと時

Reviewed by: OTK

Since it was my first time kayaking, I was initially a bit anxious about whether I would be okay. However, the staff member who assisted us was Japanese and taught us patiently, and within just 30 minutes, we were out on the sea heading towards Flat Island. We had chosen a 2-hour guided tour plan, but for those who want to paddle more, there seems to be a longer course plan available, which I would recommend.

For lunch, I ordered pizza as mentioned in the reviews here. The staff's recommendation was the Spinach Garlic Pizza, so I ordered that and it was very delicious! There were other varieties I wanted to try, but the portion was quite large for one person, so I gave up on that.

In the afternoon, I was able to relax on the beach. Since there were waves, it might be nice to rent a bodyboard (which was free) and have some fun.

 カヤックをすること自体初めてだったので、大丈夫かな?と当初不安がありましたが、担当してくれたスタッフは日本人の方で、丁寧に教えてくれ、ものの30分で海に出てフラットアイランドに向かっていました。2時間のツアーガイド付きプランにしていたので、もっと漕ぎまくりたい方は長いコースプランがあるらしいのでそちらをお勧めします。
 
 お昼はここの書き込みにあった通りにピザを注文しました。こちらで勤めているスタッフのお勧めはホウレンソウガーリックピザだったので、それを注文して食べましたが、大変おいしかったですよ!!他にも種類があるので試してみたかったのですが、一人前が大きかったので諦めました。

 午後からはビーチでのんびり過ごすことができました。波があるのでボディーボードなんかを借りて(無料でした)遊ぶのもいいかもしれませんね。

Great way to escape Waikiki

Reviewed by: Dali

A very nice activity for those who tire of the crowds in Waikiki. A wish list item would be a shuttle to Lanakai. That is one of the best beaches in Hawaii, but is a good 25 minute walk from the shop. But, also have Kailua Beach (sp?) very nearby, which is almost just as good. The staff was great and shared numerous insights about both the activity and the history of the area. We did the short tour, which took us to the bird sanctuary island. A pretty location with great picture opportunities. We will book this again next visit and maybe do the longer tour. A nice workout, but nothing too strenuous and perfect for novice kayakers like us. Decent food and snack options nearby and overall a fun way to spend an afternoon. Check it out!!

The waves were rough, but... 波が荒かったですが

Reviewed by: mac

On the day of the kayaking, the sea had quite a few waves, but we somehow managed to reach Flat Island. It was about a 500-meter distance. At first, I was a bit intimidated by the strength of the waves and wind, but thanks to the instructor's careful guidance, everyone made it to the island safely. If the sea had been a bit calmer, we might have enjoyed it more leisurely, but the memory of paddling hard to get across is also a good one.

When I returned to the hotel, my abs and legs were sore, making it a bit tough to get up in the morning. Well, that's also a good memory.

カヤック当日の海は、結構波があったのですが、なんとかフラット島までたどり着けました。距離にして500メートルぐらいでした。始めは波と風の強さにちょっとびびってましたが、インストラクターの丁寧な指導で、無事に全員島まで渡れました。もうちょっと海が静かだったら、もっと余裕を持って楽しめたかもしれませんが、必死でパドルして渡った思い出もいい物でした。

On my husband's strong recommendation, we decided to try kayaking as a couple. I honestly wasn't very enthusiastic at first, thinking, "We're definitely going to capsize!!! This is scary!!!" However, once we actually tried it, it was a lot of fun. They taught us carefully, and fortunately, we didn't capsize (laughs). The beach was very beautiful, and it was great for relieving our lack of exercise.

At Flat Island, we were able to see birds in their nests, and we all enjoyed eating a grass that had a strange taste (it was similar to olives and quite delicious). Besides kayaking, we had a great time. By the way, we chose pizza for our set lunch, and it was a fantastic choice! I heard that spinach pizza is quite popular♪

There was a single girl in our group it was her first time and she had a really tough time. It was soooo windy, they don't call it the windward side of the island for fun apparently. The guides were great. Helpful, friendly, and encouraging. But the wind was horrible. Maybe we were really just there on an unusual day but you may want to check and see about other kayaking adventures I hear the secret island one is awesome. The lunch was quite yummy, it was sandwich wraps, soda, chips, water, and granola bars too. The beach we stopped at was pretty and the snorkeling was fun but it was hard to see much. When we made it to the island and got out of our kayaks a huge gust of wind came and the sand hit our legs like a sandblaster! Not cool. When we walked around to the backside of the island

I have lived in Waikiki for the last 5 years and always wanted to Kayak but never tried. My son took me on this great Kayak outing and we really enjoyed ourselves! I'm 46 and was a little concerned about being in good enough shape to handle Kayaking in the ocean, but the Kailua beaches are protected by coral reefs and the waves were never a problem. The area is gorgeous and being able to paddle out to bird sanctuary was a real treat. The folks at Oahu Kayaking are very friendly and knowledgeable. Watching the video before we set out helped to put my fears at ease. This is a perfect activity for singles, couples, families or even a quiet solo outing. All in all, a great way to spend the day!

I took my wife on a self guided, 4hr, tour. The location was fairly easy to find with the help of GPS. About 45 min, with traffic, from Ewa Beach. Anyway, the staff was very helpful and welcoming upon arrival. After signing required paperwork ( hazard waiver and such) we were shown an 8 min video of the area where you may take your kayak. For first timers, doing a self guided tour, I suggest paying attention to the video as there are several key area's that will assist in your adventure, especially on how to approach one of the islands you may visit, as there are merging swells in the center of the landing area of the islands. The walk to the staging area is not far and so if you drove, I suggest leaving your vehicle at the venue parking lot as there is minimal parking where you pick up your kayak. I also suggest to either commit to going all the way to the bigger islands or going to the closer "Flat Island" and then proceding to snorkle at the next beach area, as the islands are quite

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

Surf Bus

Reviewed by: Sharon

I have been to the North Shore before and enjoyed this trip the most. We enjoyed the Waimia Falls park more due to the guides suggestions. he was very knowledgeable and interesting. I especially enjoyed the turtles. I would recommend it for the young and hardy or an old folk like me. Great fun!

It's tiring, but fun! 疲れるけど楽しい!

You will be picked up by bus, and once you arrive, you'll have free time at the beach in the morning. In the afternoon, you'll receive instructions on kayaking and then set off!

By the way, you can rent bodyboards in the morning. However, while the local women next to me were smoothly riding the same waves, I struggled to get on...

For lunch, you can choose between a bento box or pizza. The pizza was delicious but quite large.

Kayaking is tough because you have to carry the kayak back and forth to the beach by yourself.

Honestly, it's challenging for two women. It's better to go with a strong man. I ended up with a slim guy, and while carrying it back, I hurt my back.

But kayaking itself is fun, and sea turtles come close, so if the weather is good, it's the best!

Just be aware that you can get sunburned easily, so ladies should definitely wear long-sleeved hoodies, hats, and sunscreen to be fully prepared.

バスで送迎してもらえて、現地に着くと午前中はビーチで自由時間。
午後になるとカヤックについてのインストラクションを受けて出発!

ちなみに午前中はボディボードとか借りられます。
でもお隣の現地人女性は同じ波でスーッと乗るのに自分はなかなか乗れませんでした・・・

お昼はお弁当かピザか選べます。
ピザは美味しかったけどおっきかったです。

カヤックは往復ビーチまで自分たちで運ぶので大変です。

正直女性二人は厳しい。
力持ちの男性と行きましょう。
私は細い彼といったがために、帰り運ぶときに手伝ってぎっくり腰になりました。

でもカヤック自体は楽しいし、ウミガメも近くに来るし、天気が良ければ最高!!

とにかくよく焼けるので、気になる女性は長袖パーカーは帽子、日焼け止めなど万全にしていきましょう。

The beach and the sea are beautiful! ビーチと海が美しい!

Reviewed by: とくちゃん

The beauty of the beach and the ocean is simply wonderful! The wind was quite strong, but it added to the fun. In the morning, we had free time near the beach, and in the afternoon, we went sea kayaking. We actually paddled for about two hours, with our initial destination being Flat Island right in front of us. If you have the time, I recommend going over to Lanikai Beach next door. Lanikai Beach was also incredibly beautiful, so if you can, definitely check it out. We even got to ride the waves while sea kayaking. It was my first experience, but I managed to succeed! This is a unique activity you can only do in Hawaii, and I highly recommend it!

とにかくビーチや海の美しさが素晴らしいです!
風が相当強かったのですが、それもまた楽しい、といった感じ。
午前中はビーチ付近で自由行動、午後にシーカヤック。
実際に漕いでいるのは2時間ほどで、当初の目的地は目の前のフラットアイランド。余裕があれば、お隣りのラニカイビーチまで。
ラニカイビーチがまた素晴らしい美しさでしたので、余裕がある方はオススメ。
シーカヤックで波乗りもさせてもらいました。
初体験でしたが、なんとか成功!
ハワイならではのアクティビティで、オススメです!
