We participated in a deserted island tour at Kailua Beach with our family.
I had many concerns about whether my parents in their 60s could handle a tandem kayak, but the distance was just right... It turned out to be great exercise and satisfied our curiosity, resulting in a wonderful experience. For those who feel that just sightseeing or spending time on the beach isn't enough, I think this tour is perfect.
Our guide, Chris, was very kind and shared Hawaiian folklore and stories about nature during the deserted island tour. I fell even more in love with Hawaii.
In addition to the tour, you can also rent snorkeling gear and stand-up paddleboarding equipment, making it highly recommended for those who want to fully enjoy Lanikai and Kailua Beach.
カイルアビーチの無人島ツアーに家族で参加してきました。
60代の両親に、カヤック二人乗りは無理なのでは!!!という不安も多々ありましたが、距離感も丁度よく。。。いい運動に、好奇心も満たされ、◎の結果です。観光だけでは、もの足りない。。。ビーチで過ごすだけでは、という方々にピッタリかと思います。
ガイドのクリスさんも大変親切で、無人島ツアーで聞けるハワイの民話に大自然の話し。より一層ハワイが好きになりました。
ツアー意外でも、シュノーケルグッズやスタンドアップサーフィンなどのビーチ用品もレンタルできるので、ラニカイ・カイルアビーチを堪能したい人におススメです。

There is a Japanese guide available, so it's reassuring to have someone who speaks Japanese. It would have been better if the shuttle bus driver spoke Japanese as well.
The operation of the kayak and paddling is manageable. However, we practiced on the river before moving to the sea, and you need strength to carry or pull the kayak. If you're a woman alone, it can be quite challenging.
Once you start paddling out to sea, it surprisingly moves along well. The sea is beautiful, and the view is fantastic. However, it's advisable to use sunscreen properly, as you can get quite sunburned.
日本人ガイドもおり、日本語を話せるガイドがいるので安心です。送迎バスの運転手が日本語を話せるとよりよかったのですが。
カヤックの操作、パドリングはなんとかなるものです。
ただ川で一度練習してから海へ移動したのですが、
カヤックを持つあるいは引く筋力が必要です。
女性一人ですと結構苦労します。
一度海へ漕ぎ出すと意外と進んでくれます。
海はきれいですし、眺めも最高。
ただし、日焼け止めはきちんとしたほうがいいです。
かなり焼けます。

I wanted to do kayaking and my wife wanted us to do that in a two-man boat, which was fine with me. But then she chickened out at the last second and I had to kayak a two-man boat by myself. It was hard and embarassing and the situation sucked.
Despite that, I had a great time. My guide was very understanding of the situation and helped me along the whole way. My group kayaked to a small island a quarter-mile out to sea and he gave us a small tour. Interesting stuff.
When we came back, the manager gave us a partial refund on my wife's payment because she was in the boat for less than five minutes.
It was a good time. If you go to this place, ask for either Matt or Mark (can't remember). He's an orange-haired dude who wears a Gilligan hat.

I previously went to Kailua by bus, and with the waiting time and transfers, it took about two hours from Waikiki. The tour shuttle bus arrived in about 30 minutes from the hotel, which I thought was a significant advantage for making effective use of time.
It was a guided kayak tour, so I had to go on my own after watching a video, but I couldn't remember everything perfectly since I needed to pay attention to both the visuals and subtitles. However, when I later asked the staff about things I didn't understand, they kindly explained everything, which made me feel at ease before setting off.
Carrying the kayak to the water was quite challenging for two women and took some time, but we managed. The launch site for kayaking was designated, and the staff helped us out.
We kayaked to the nearest uninhabited island, landed, and surprisingly stayed longer than expected because there were birds and great views. We even encountered a turtle along the way, and we completed the round trip to the uninhabited island without capsizing. For lunch, we could choose from several places, and I picked pizza, which I heard was popular among locals, and it was a satisfying meal.
After that, I really wanted to go to Lanikai Beach, so I rented a bike for $10 and got there in less than an hour, hurriedly took some photos, and dipped my feet in the ocean before heading back. The cycling route was fantastic, allowing me to enjoy the sea and greenery.
Although I didn't use them, I was pleased that snorkeling gear and mats were available for free, and bike rentals were half price. Overall, it was a tour that my friends and I were very satisfied with.
カイルアには、以前、自力でバスで行きましたが、待ち時間や乗継入れると、ワイキキから2時間くらいかかりました。
ツアーの送迎バスでは、ホテルから30分程で到着し、時間を有効に使えるのは大きなメリットだと思いました。
ガイドなしのカヤックツアーだったので、ビデオをみて自力で行くのですが、映像も字幕もみないとなので、完璧には覚えられませんでした。後から、スタッフの方にわからないことを聞くと親切に教えてくれたので、安心して出発することができました。
カヤックを水辺まで運ぶのが女2人だとなかなか大変で時間もかかりましたが、どうにかなりました。海でのカヤックの発着場所が決まっていて、スタッフの方が助けてくれました。
カヤックで、一番近い無人島までいき上陸、鳥がいたり、眺めがよかったりで意外と長居しました。途中亀に遭遇することもできて、転覆することなく無人島の往復でカヤックは終了しました。お昼は何店舗からか選べて、地元でも評判だと聞きピザを選び、満足なランチでした。
その後、どうしてもラニカイビーチに行きたかったので、10ドルで自転車を借り、1時間足らずで行ってあわただしく写真撮って少し海につかって帰ってきました。サイクリングコースも海や緑を感じられて最高でした。
使う機会はありませんでしたが、シュノーケルやゴザなど無料で借りられるのはうれしく、レンタサイクルも半額でした。
友達ともども大満足のツアーでした。

It was a memorable sea-kayaking trip. Just be aware of one small detail: the bathroom/restroom facility is suitable only for temporary bath & cloth change. Very much likely you have to come back for a real full bath at your hotel. Aside from this, every else (which counts towards 99% of the trip) is great !!

It had been years since I played at the beach, so I was initially anxious, but thanks to our guides Mark and Yasu, I had a wonderful experience (even though I got really sunburned…). Thank you!
After arriving in Kailua, I felt like we wasted over an hour waiting for the kayak after the briefing. There wasn't enough time to visit Kailua Town, and since we had to meet at 11:30 but the pizza place opened at 11, I had to settle for a mediocre loco moco... (After kayaking, we changed and left right away, so there was no time for lunch.)
However, the content, scenery, and staff were all excellent, so next time I want to choose a course where we can take our time. Mark mentioned he would email photos to those who wanted them, so I'm looking forward to that.
海で遊ぶのは何年ぶり(?)だったので初めは不安でしたが、ガイドのマーク、ヤスさんのおかげで楽しい体験ができました。(ものすごく焼けましたが…)ありがとう!
カイルア到着後、説明を受けてからカヤックに乗るまでの間が1時間以上あって時間がもったいない気がしました。カイルアタウンに行くには時間が足りないし、11時半集合なのにピザ屋さんは11時OPENのためあきらめていまいちなロコモコを食べざるを得なかったり…(カヤックに乗った後は着替えてすぐ出発だったのでお昼を食べる時間はありません。)
でも内容、景色、スタッフは最高なので、次回はもっとゆっくりできるコースを選びたいと思います。

I had been to Kailua before, but I chose this tour because I wanted to try sea kayaking.
First, there was someone who was late for the pickup time (they were a foreigner...), so we seemed to arrive a bit late and started in quite a rush. (There was no time even to go to the restroom...)
This tour seems to be affected by the wind on the day, but fortunately, it wasn't too windy, and it took about 25 minutes to reach the island 1 kilometer away. (According to the instructor, it was a great performance.) I don't have great athletic skills, so I was a bit anxious, but surprisingly, I was okay.
Paddling together was fun, and it ended so quickly that I wished we could have paddled a bit more. The weather was nice, and we could even see Molokai Island.
During the free time after lunch, I borrowed a bodyboard and headed to the beach. I heard from the instructor that Kailua is beautiful in the afternoon, and the sea was truly a stunning blue.
I highly recommend it.

挑戦してみたくて選んだツアーでした。
まず、ピックアップ時間に遅刻する方(外国の方でしたが…)がいたため、
ちょっと遅れて到着したようで、かなりせかされる感じで慌ただしくスタート。
(トイレ行く間もなく…)
このツアーは、その日の風によって左右されるようですが、
幸いそれほど強風でなく、1キロ先の島まで25分ほどでした。
(インストラクターさんいわく、上出来らしいです。)
私は運動神経は良い方ではないので、ちょっと不安だったんですが、意外と大丈夫でした。
二人でこぐのも楽しくて、もう少し漕ぎたかったなあ~と
いうくらい、あっという間に終わりました。
天気も良かったので、モロカイ島も見えたり。
ランチ後のフリータイムでは、ボディボードを借りて海辺へ。

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。

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☆

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.

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.

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.

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。

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!!

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。
ホテルに戻ったら、腹筋と足が筋肉痛で朝起きるのがちょっとしんどかったです。まあ、それも良い思い出です。

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♪
主人の強い希望で、夫婦でカヤックに挑戦しました。
絶対転覆する!!!怖い!!!と、正直最初は乗り気ではなかったのですが、実際にやってみるととても楽しかったです。
丁寧に教えてくれますし、幸い転覆もしませんでした(笑)
ビーチはとても綺麗で、運動不足の解消にもなってよかったです。
フラットアイランドでは巣穴の中にいる鳥も見られたし、不思議な味のする(オリーブに似ていて結構美味しかった)草をみんなで食べたりと、カヤック以外も楽しめました。
ちなみにセットのランチはピザを選択したのですが、大正解でした☆
ほうれん草のピザが人気なんだそうです♪
