Our family of 6 had a great time on the 2 hour kayak tour to Flat Island! Our guide Cyrus was very knowledgeable about the island and the near-by beaches. He also shared a few Hawaiian stories explaining the history of Flat Island and some of the flowers growing there. All in all, I'd recommend the activity to anyone interested in kayaking the crystal clear waters of the eastern Oahu shore. And if you're a more experienced kayaker, or in better shape than us, try the 4-hr tour!

The description of the Falls "hike" should be reworded to "casual stroll". All the interesting parts that might be qualified as hikes were barred as off limits for falling rock or just closed off. Also, the change in elevation was laughable. It was more like going to a park.
The waterfall actually had water, but not enough water yet for swimming, which was teh main point of it. That part was very underwhelming.
The snorkeling on teh beach was great. Amazing area and great knowledgeable staff/tour guides. highly recommend that part.

The 4 hour guided kayaking excursion was amazing! We had Matt and Andy and could not have asked for better guides! They made the entire excursion so much fun! My husband and I cannot wait to come back again!

I THOUGHT KAYAKING WOULD BE HARD TO DO BUT IT WASN'T AT ALL. I LOVED IT. BE SURE TO GET THE BACK REST...IT MADE THE DIFFERENCE...

Firstly,at best my partner is a moderate swimmer, so she really isn't confident in the water.
We booked a 4 hour kayaking activity with some apprehension. I can honestly say it was the best day of our holiday.
Not only because Lanakai beach was fantastic but mainly because of the young staff, like Andy and Nick our guides. The staff don't wrap you up in cotton wool. They are young, laid back but professional if needed and full of local knowledge.
Super, super day. Many thanks. Mandy and Mark (UK)

I really enjoyed this trip, we didn't rent a car in Oahu and this was a great way to see the North Shore. We learned a great deal of Hawaiian history on the way up. And the town and Waimeia Beach are incredible. We snorkeled and swam in the waterfall at waimeia (?), it was a cool day but the water was temperate and so fresh - if you go to the waterfall swim in the lake surrounding it - its really wonderful. Bonzai Pipeline had no waves though so I'll have to go back in the winter.

This was one of the most beautiful activities I did while in Hawaii. It was great exercise and I would reccommend doing this with a partner. I did this by myself and I found it quite difficult, but then again I'm not in good shape at all. May be easier for someone who is in shape. The beaches are so beautiful that I ended up comming back on my own a few days later. Take an underwater camera because the view is great.

A very fun time with a nice tour guide and his family. Unique stops on the North SHore that most tour companies just drive by. Highly Recommended!

This was an awesome adventure, combining snorkeling with kayaking. We kayaked to two different location, on being Chinamen Hat and another corel reef beach. Our guide, Nick, was great as well as a certified cpr and kayaking rescuer.
The senery was beautiful and we had plenty of time for snorkeling and walking around at our locations. Lunch was nurishing and refreshing.
Highly recommended for physically fit persons.

This was our first trip to Hawaii, and we wanted to make sure that we don't miss North Shore, but didn't want to take a typical sightseeing tour on a huge bus with 50 other people. This tour turns out to be a great one with a lot of personal touch. We were able to enjoy a full day on Waimea Bay, just relaxing, snorkeling, swimming, etc. A perfect day on the north shore. We were also able to check out the Haleiwa Town to do some shopping. There are a lot of artists living there to sell their beautiful arts. Highly recommended!

We found this to one of the best activities at the best beach. We went back and body surfed on another day. Suggest to be physically fit and if not the Tour Guide was towing one couple.
