Kailua Bay 2-Hour Guided Kayaking Tour with Lunch - Explore Tide Pools & More!
Great Kayaking Tour!
Reviewed by: Donald
This was an oustanding tour. Although it was windy, the hard work was worth it. Visiting the off shore island was exciting, diving into the coral pool (Queen's Bath) was way cool, snorkeling over the coral reefs was great and seeing two Hawaiian Green sea turtles was magical! The only negatives were some of the masks leaked and my friend got a moldy sandwich (which was relaced). I would highly recommend this tour, but it's not for children.

Great workout!!!
Reviewed by: Carina
When you arrive at the establishment, everyone is very helpful. You watch a video of what to look forward to. Only thing I would have wished was for a small map that we could have taken with us, instead there's a big one on the wall. So what I did was take a picture of it with my camera. It's an easy walk to the beach, then you depart. It's great!! We opted for the bag, definitely do it, you can put everything you don't want wet in there. The views are great and you get a great workout for your arms, always a plus. Once you get to the islands, you get amazing views!! Some you can even snorkel in. Would be visiting again soon!

Kailua & Lanikai Beach Stand Up Paddle (SUP) Lessons and Self-Guided Tours
Stand Up Paddling
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous
We had a stand up paddling lesson, and then went out on a guided tour. The instructors do a really good job at making sure you are comfortable with what you are doing, before you go out into the water. The coastline was so beautiful as we paddled by it. Stand up paddling feels like you are walking on water and it is really a unique experience.

4 hour guided tour
Reviewed by: Annetta Mooney
We were first timers kayaking and while the 2.5 miles we paddled to our destination was physically challenging the destination and overall experience was well worth it. Our guides, Sheila and Alex were great. Sheila has alot of experience and education and was very informative throughout the tour. We would do this again!!! Magnificent and beautiful.

Incredible!
Reviewed by: MinnesotaMike
My six year old daughter surfed! We all did! We all got up and we have the videotape to prove it! This was our first activity on our first day and it set a trend of quality that stayed throughout our trip. These surfers are great teachers, assistants, advisors, helpers, and just plain nice.
I can't recommend anywhere more than this school.

Surfing For Everyone
Reviewed by: Ron Gurtiza
All the instructors made us feel comfortable and made sure we had fun and guaranteed we would all stand up. I signed up for the 2 hour class. The waves were knee to waist high and be prepared to do a lot of paddling. Everyone in my group stood up on the board. We all started posing for the camera while surfing. Very fun for all age groups. A school of dolphins showed up and jumping along with us. PERFECT DAY!!!!

I had so much fun learning to surf. The instructor, Sean, was the best! Very good teacher. I would recommend a lesson early in the day though because the photographer doesn't like to take photos during the 3:00 session due to the sun. My best ride was the last one and he had left already.

Kailua Bay 2-Hour Guided Kayaking Tour with Lunch - Explore Tide Pools & More!
4 Hour Guided Tour
Reviewed by: Mike E.
We opted for the 4 hour guided tour. Our guide Sheila was fun and extremely knowledgeable. She gave us history, marine biology, and geology lessons as we kayaked out to one of the off shore islands and while exploring the island. The folks on the 2 hour tour were there as long as we were, but they spent less time kayaking and did not visit the island we did - I highly recommend opting for the 4 hour tour. You'll get a lot more kayak time and a much more interesting island to visit.

Reviewed by: satomi.
女子３人で参加しましたぁ。
一人はまったくの初心者で、あと２人は数回やった事があるぐらいです。でも、HAWAIIでサーフィンするのは初めてなので･･･。価格も安いし、地元の人に教えてもらいたいし、送迎もついてたので！
教えてもらっている時は英語でしたケド英語が分からない人でも大丈夫だと思いますよー。
（日本語が話せる方もいたので。）
とにかくオススメです！
優しく教えてくれるし、初めての人でも絶対に立てます。
ただ、もっとゆっくりと、しっかり教えて欲しい方などは、グループ参加じゃナイ方が良いかもしれませんね。

初心者にお勧め
Reviewed by: kainosuke
せっかくハワイに行くのにサーフィンをしないなんて勿体ない！と思って利用しました。結果、初心者でも初めての波で立てました。必ず立って波に乗れるように、スタッフが至れり尽くせりの世話をしてくれます。
が、若い日本人の女の子（２人連れでした）はスタッフにナンパされていました。そういうことを気にしない人、それも含めて楽しめる人に勧めです。カップルで参加すれば、そういった心配もないでしょう。
スタッフは簡単な日本語ならみんなできるようです。英語が心配な人でも安心してたのしめます。値段が高いのは日本人向けだからでしょう。まあ、お値段なりに、お手軽に楽しめます。

Kailua Bay 2-Hour Guided Kayaking Tour with Lunch - Explore Tide Pools & More!
2-hour guided tour
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous
The location was amazing! I would definitely recommend this to first timers to kayaking and hawaii. This was my boyfriend's first trip to hawaii and I wanted to show him what hawaii had to offer. This tour was the cherry on top. Kailua Beach is one of the best/beautiful beaches on the island. I felt more secure doing the guided tour since I have never went ocean kayaking before. Drew, our tour guide, was the coolest and he passionately knew everything about the location and wildlife. We actually flipped over in our kayak. It wasn't that scary since we had life jackets and the other kayakers and tour guide helped us back on our kayak. I'm glad we flipped cuz after we got situated back on our kayak which was further away from the group, we wouldn't have seen the sea turtle that was swimming by.
The tour started with paddling to an island 2-3 miles away. We explored the island listening to stories and facts from the tour guide for about 30-40minutes. After that we kayaked back

Self-guided kayacking rental :0
Reviewed by: Caylah
One of my favorite activities of the trip! We opted for the all day rental which is a steal at $59!! I was a first timer but my partner is, at least, intermediate. I had so much fun! On the all day rental you can keep the kayack for 8 hours but we only went out for about 5 hours...its def. a workout! We were able to paddle out to different uninhabited islands and explore and snorkle. I like the idea of the self guided all day rental bc we werent on a time line and we were ale to go at our own pace. However, if youre a beginner i would def. recommend the kayacking tour. A few of them stopped by the island when we were there and everyone seemed to be having a great time, as did we!! It was great to spend the day in the sun while doing something different... i can only lay on the beach for so many days before i get bored :) If your considering the kayacking tour or just rental...do it, you wont be disappointed!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous
Before I book this activity I thought as an individual, they will put myself on the "parachute" only, but they weren't, they simply put me with two other strangers together, I don't even know them, I feel so bad. That's why I didn't leave them a penny. The shuttle drivers is a nice guy, I leave him 10 bucks.

楽しかったぁ！ 初めてでも乗れました♪
Reviewed by: おきゃん
参加したのは、主人だったのですが、とても楽しかったようです。13歳の女の子からカップルまで、日本人3人を含む10名ほどの参加者がいたようです。
3人のスタッフが付いてくれ、基本的な説明のあと、遠浅（ほんとに遠浅の海です。えっと思う場所まで置きに出ても足がつきます）へボードを持っていきます。
初心者でもボードに立ち、波に乗ることができたとのことでした。日ごろ運動をしない主人は、午後から筋肉痛で腕が痛いと話していましたが、ニコニコと嬉しそうに「いたい~」と話していました（笑）
また、想い出になる写真のデータをCDで販売していました。30ドルとなりますが、主人がボードに乗っている姿を連写してくれている写真などが含まれているので、とても楽しい想い出の写真になりました。写真には、一緒にスクールに参加した方も含まれます。これもすてきな想い出になりました。
私は、別のツアーに参加していたため、直接様子を見ていないのですが、主人がボードに乗り、波に乗り、そして・・・ボードから落ちていく姿が克明に写されいて、実際の様子に話が盛り上がりました。
参加した全員が置きに出ますので、自分たちを写真にはなかなか撮れません。CDには、当日の様子以外にもハワイの素敵な写真が入っていましたので購入をお勧めします。
