It's more like a rental shop provided at the meeting place rather than a tour image. The staff are all friendly and approachable!
Since we didn't plan to go into the ocean that day, we only used the bicycles. The bicycles have wider tires compared to those in Japan, and they move quite well with just a light push. The brakes have their quirks (laughs), so definitely experience them on-site.
For those planning to go snorkeling, Kailua Beach is nice, but it might be a bit challenging to go all the way to Lanikai.
Especially, managing your belongings might be difficult.
There are various shops to enjoy while exploring Kailua. A great souvenir for women is Kanikai Bath & Body!
Also, there are a lot of wild birds. Additionally, since the tour time can be quite long, if you're confident in your stamina, I recommend climbing up to the Pillbox.
Regarding lunch, you can choose from three options, and we went with the BBQ plate and pizza. As mentioned in the comments, the pizza is different from what you find in Japan; it's oily, and the crust is thick yet crispy and delicious.
The BBQ plate is also tasty, but the eating area might be a bit questionable in terms of hygiene. The area in front of the pizza shop was clean! Since you're overseas, it's probably best not to worry too much about it!
ツアーのイメージではなく、集合場所のお店の提供されている貸出店舗という感じです。
スタッフさんは、みなさんフレンドリーで親しみやすいですよ!
私達は当日は海に入る予定がなかったため自転車のみ利用でした。
自転車は、日本と違いタイヤの幅も大きく軽く漕げば結構すすみます。
ブレーキは一癖あり(笑)是非現地で体験してください。
シュノーケリングされる予定の方はカイルアビーチは良いですが、ラニカイまでいくとなるとちょっと大変かも。
特に、荷物管理が難しいかもしれませんね。
カイルア散策ではいろいろなお店もあり楽しめますよ。
女性向けのお土産で良かったのはKanikai Bath&Bodyです!
あととにかく、野鳥が多いです。
またツアー時間が結構長くとれるので、体力に自信がある方はピルボックスの方まで登るのはおすすめです。
ランチについては、3種類から選べるのですが、
私達はBBQプレートとピザにしました。コメントのあるようにピザは日本のとはちがいオイリーで生地はふといのにサクサクでうまいです。
BBQプレートも美味しいのですが、食べる場所はちょっと衛生的に微妙かも。ピザ屋さんの前は綺麗でした!
海外ですのであんまり気にしすぎないほうが良いですね!
Dear R&S,
Thank you very much for participating in the tour without a shuttle service after the pandemic. Hawaii is now starting to return to normal, and we have also begun offering free shuttle service from the Waikiki area.
We strongly recommend using bicycles for the Kailua Beach Plus option, so your choice was indeed the right one! When visiting Lanikai Beach, we think it's best to store your belongings in our lockers and go light. The view from the Pillbox is absolutely stunning!
When you come back to Hawaii, please do visit Kailua again. Our entire staff is looking forward to welcoming you.
Sincerely,
Kailua Beach Adventures Japanese Staff
R&S様
パンデミック後、送迎サービスのない中、ツアーにご参加頂き、誠にありがとうございました。
現在、ハワイは通常に戻り始めており、ワイキキエリアからの無料送迎も開始致しました。
カイルアビーチプラスオプションでは自転車の利用を強くお勧めしておりますので、R&S様の選択は正解です!
ラニカイビーチに行く際は、当店のロッカーに荷物を入れ、身軽で行って頂くのが一番よろしいかと思います。
ピルボックスからの眺めは最高位ですよね!
またハワイにお越しの際は、是非ともカイルアに遊びにいらしてください。
スタッフ一同、心よりお待ち致しております。

They called to let me know I needed passes to Hanauma Bay (which I didn't realize). This saved our whole day because I didn't realize I had to be there so early to secure 4 tickets to the park which sell out by 8:30 am (latest). This info was a life saver as we showed up to rent our snorkelling gear by 7:30 and were at the park before 8am to secure walk-up tickets. Tip: get your tickets to Hanauma Bay online at 7am 2 days in advance (they sell out in 2 minutes). Then you don't have to wait in line at the park on the day of.
Great place!!

We wanted to snorkel without taking a boat ride. This was a great option. Our party of 3 (grandparents with granddaughter) were all beginners to snorkeling. They provided nice equipment so we didn’t need to purchase anything. The instructor, Ryan, was very knowledgeable. He showed us how to wear the items properly. He taught us the simple steps of snorkeling - breathing through the tube and floating. The lagoon was a perfect, protected place. We saw many different fish and sea creatures. Ryan’s patience with beginners was much appreciated. This was money well spent for an experience we will never forget.

We are a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 kids 9yr old and 6yr old). Instructor was very patient enough to guide us how to snorkel. He provided us some tricks to make snorkeling easier for beginners. He was always there to help us out and made us feel comfortable. Except for my spouse everyone else in the group are non-swimmers, the instructor helped us navigate through the water, and to top it he took amazing videos of us while snorkeling :)

Ricki was very patient and helpful in making our (my wife & my) first time snorkeling experience so good. My wife didn't know swimming but Ricki's tips helped put her at ease and she enjoyed it as well. Due to the small group nature of the tour, fortunately there was only 2 of us and we had lots of fun. Saw lots of fishes and reef. Would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for beginner lessons.

And more fish than you can imagine. We snorkeled til we were too tired to go on! We are hooked.

This was my second time snorkeling, and I participated in the tour feeling anxious about the deep water, as I could only do the crawl by myself. I decided to join after seeing everyone having fun in the reviews. I dislike cold water and am not a strong swimmer, so I was filled with the desire to back out until the last minute. However, the guide was incredibly thorough in teaching us how to breathe, and with the rental of the bodysuit, I was able to swim happily!
Once I got used to it, we went out to look for turtles, and by then, I was able to swim smoothly! Hanauma Bay is the best place; both snorkeling and the beach are amazing, and the guide is fantastic too! I highly recommend it! I will definitely join again when I go to Hawaii!
シュノーケリング二回目、一人ではクロールしかできず深いところは不安のあるなかでのツアー参加でした。
口コミから、みなさんが楽しく参加されているのを拝見して参加しました。寒い海は嫌いだし、泳ぎは苦手で直前までやめたい気持ちでいっぱいでしたが、ガイドさんが本当に丁寧に息の仕方など教えてくださり、ボディスーツのレンタルもあり、楽しく泳ぐことができました!
慣れてきたら沖に出てカメを探しに行きましたが、その時にはもうスイスイいくことができました!
ハナウマ湾は最高の場所でシュノーケリングもビーチも最高なのはもちろんですが、ガイドさんも最高です!おすすめです!

I went snorkeling for the first time! The female guide was very kind and not only sent me the photos she took of me but also pictures of the sea fish, since I didn't bring a camera. It was completely my first time snorkeling, and I felt like I was holding back the group of four, but I was fortunate to be with such a great group, and it turned out to be a fun time. However, I did feel a bit sorry for the others since the guide focused so much on me. But everyone was really nice, and I had a great time. If I have the chance to come to Hawaii again, I will definitely sign up again! I will treasure the photos! Thank you very much!
初めてシュノーケリングをやりました!

If you're going to Hawaii, I want to follow her pink fins again. Next time, I'll change the timing. It was my first time snorkeling, but she was very good at easing my anxiety, and I was able to enjoy it comfortably. Moreover, she knows so much about the ocean, and her sense of the best spots for that day reflects her extensive experience. Thank you so much!

Dear Chiharu, thank you for joining us on the tour with your partner. Since you were the only guests that day, it was a private tour! How lucky you were.
Although the waves were a bit rough, we were able to see a turtle inside, which was a nice surprise. It was great that you could observe the turtle for a long time since it wasn't scared and stayed while you were eating.
We would love to guide you to the outer part of Hanauma Bay next time, so please come back at a different time. The North Shore is also recommended in the summer.
