The day we participated was very windy, and as complete beginners, we were anxious, but we had a lot of fun and managed to complete the tour safely. At first, we learned how to hold the paddle and how to change direction on land. Perhaps because the start of the tour was delayed, we didn't practice in the canal as mentioned in the reviews and went straight to the sea! Since it was guided, the staff supported us, and we were able to get out to sea without any issues. However, participants without a guide struggled and kept capsizing at the shoreline, having a hard time getting out to sea. Once we were in the ocean, we just kept paddling... It felt like it took about 30 minutes to reach the island due to the strong wind. By the time we arrived at the island, we were exhausted. There were two guides for four groups of participants, including us. Along the way to the island, we gathered at intervals to ensure we didn’t get too spread out, all aiming for the island together. A pair of girls initially lagged behind, but the guides temporarily towed them with a rope attached to their kayak, so they seemed to enjoy themselves without falling too far behind. The guides took photos while we were kayaking. I was hoping to get some pictures during the kayak trip, so I thought it was a nice service... but although they said they would send them via email, it has been about two months, and I haven't received anything. I feel like I won't be getting them at this point. The way there was tough due to the headwind, but on the way back, it was challenging to avoid drifting into the swimming area without paddling.
If I may say one thing, as someone who has worked in the travel industry, it was a bit problematic that the schedule differed from what was stated here... I think some customers might come based on the itinerary. On the day, the hotel pickup was at 8:30, but when we arrived, we were told, "The kayak tour starts after 11:30," which meant we ended up waiting for nearly two and a half hours. I thought there would be free time after kayaking, so my plans got thrown off. I was advised to eat lunch beforehand, but I was worried about getting seasick, so I couldn't eat much. The return bus was at 2:30, and kayaking ended around 2:00. From there, we walked back to the shop, changed clothes, and answered a survey... We could have changed to a later bus, but everyone seemed to have other plans and wanted to make the most of their time, so we ended up hurrying.
Despite everything, I would definitely like to do it again. The beauty of nature and the fun of kayaking were, of course, wonderful, but all the staff here were friendly and great people. The foreign staff spoke fluent Japanese, and we had a great time.
参加した日が、風がとても強い日で超初心者の私たちは不安でしたが、とても楽しく無事にできました。最初は地上でパドルの持ち方や、方向転換の仕方などを教わりました。ツアー自体の開始が遅かったせいか、ここの口コミで見た運河での練習はなく、いきなり海へ! ガイド付きだったので、スタッフの方がサポートしてくれて、問題なく海へ出れましたが、横でガイドなしの参加者の方は、波打ち際で何度も何度もひっくり返ったりでなかなか海へ出れずにいました。海に出たらひたすら漕ぐ・・・風が強くて島に着くまで30分くらいかかった気がします。島に着いたらグッタリでした。私たちを含めて4組の参加者に対して2人のガイドさんがついてくれてました。島への道のりの途中途中で間隔が空き過ぎないように集まったりして、皆で島を目指す感じです。女の子2人組も最初遅れがちでしたが、ガイドさんのカヤックと紐で結び一時的に牽引してくれたりしていたので、女の子2人でも遅れることなく楽しそうでした。 ガイドさんがカヤック中に写真を撮ってくれていました。カヤック中の写真を撮りたいなぁと思っていたので、嬉しいサービス・・・だと思ったけど、メールで送ると言われていましたが2か月ほど経っても送られて来ず。もう送られて来ない気がします:( 行きは風が向かい風で大変でしたが、帰りは漕がなくても進んでしまい遊泳区域に入らないようにするのが大変でした。
一つ言わせてもらえれば、旅行業に携わっていた者としては、ここに記載の日程と違ったのは困りものですかね 。。。日程を見て来るお客さんもいると思うのに。 当日はホテルに8時半ピックアップでしたが、着いたら「カヤックツアーは11時半過ぎからね~」と結局2時間半近く待つハメに。カヤック後に自由時間があると思っていたので、予定が狂いました。お昼を先に食べておいた方が良いと言われたので食べましたが、酔ったら嫌だなぁと思うとあまり喉に通らず。帰りのバスは2時半で、カヤックが終了したのは2時ごろ。そこから歩いてお店に戻り着替えてアンケートに答えて・・・遅いバスに変更も出来ましたが、やはり皆、他にも予定があったり時間を有効に使いたかったのでしょう、急ぐハメになりました。
なんだかんだ言っても、また是非やりたいです。自然の美しさやカヤック自体の楽しさはもちろ んですが、ここのスタッフが皆フレンドリーで良い人ばかり。外国人スタッフも日本語ペラペラで楽しい時間が過ごせました。

All-in-all, I recommend this tour from Waikiki Dive Center. They have great instructors!
When I first walked into the dive shop it was fairly clean, but a little disorganized. The displays were a little difficult to reach and could be made better by putting out a single style and have customers ask for a size from the stock to sell in the back.
Everybody there was pretty nice, and very laid back. It was busy so I could understand that things were running late.
Once we got our gear, our driver Waylon took us to the boat at Kewalo Basin. He was friendly and nice to talk to but this is for scuba diving so don't expect a flamboyant tour bus operator.
The initial instruction was done by Gracie. She was really nice and did a great job at explaining things to keep everyone safe and having a good time. This was my first time and I had a little anxiety, but the breathing in scuba diving really is like yoga breathing. It was very calming, a different world in the ocean. I kind of felt like an astronaut. We had two dives, and everyone was very helpful in instructing us. Lacey worked with my group. She was nice and very much about safety for us newbies. We saw all kinds of sea critters. I took it easy and did the 'yoga' breathing and it turned out quite well.
If you want your scuba certification, Waikiki Dive Center is a great place to get it. This first intro dive counts towards it, so you're practically half way there already.
Nice people + Nice scuba diving = Awesome!

I chose the 150m plan. It seems they determine the order of jumps based on the length of the rope, and we were the last of the five groups. The boat swayed a bit, but it was manageable as I gazed into the distance. No one got seasick, perhaps because the weather was nice.
The sky walk allows you to leisurely feel like a bird!
The $30 photo service included 135 photos, including videos during the sea splash! I wasn't too keen on it at first, but I thought it would be a shame not to, and it turned out to be a great decision! The two crew members were very service-oriented. There was no pressure to tip, and they made us laugh with occasional Japanese, making it a fun experience.
I also took photos from the air with a waterproof camera!
150mプランにしました。ロープの長さで飛ぶ順番を決めているようで、私たちは5組中一番最後でした。ボートは少し揺れますが遠くを眺めていたら大丈夫な程度。誰も酔ってませんでした。天候が良かったからかもしれません。
空の散歩は、のんびりと鳥になった気分が味わえます!
$30の写真サービスは、海チャポン時の動画も含め135枚もありました!あんまり乗り気じゃなかったけど、せっかくだし…とお願いして正解!クルーの2人もサービス精神旺盛です。無理にチップをせまられることもなく、たまの日本語で笑わせてもらい、楽しく過ごせました。

I participated in the 150-meter activity.
With a reservation at 1 PM, we gathered at the hotel at 12:40 PM and disbanded around 2:30 PM, making it a very compact and enjoyable activity.
We set off from the harbor next to Hilton Hawaiian Village.
There were four pairs participating, but the other three pairs were from Europe and America.
The instructions were in English only, but nothing was particularly difficult to understand.
You can easily grasp things like how to bend your legs and not to touch the carabiner through gestures.
The height choice is a bit tricky, but in Europe and America, the wire length is likely indicated in feet.
So, the height of 150 meters corresponds to a wire length of 300 meters, which is approximately 1,000 feet.
Since it sounds nice and round, I think many people would choose the 1,000 feet option.
(The sticker said 1,000. The other two pairs also chose 1,000, while one pair chose 600.)
You can see Waikiki in the distance, but honestly, it feels quite far away,
so I don't think the difference in visibility due to height is that significant.
Of course, the time spent in the air is proportional to the height.
That said, I think any height would be fine, but I recommend the popular height of 150 meters (1,000 feet of wire).
Photos are available for $30.
They took about 130 pictures at a quality of around 3.5 mega.
They will give you a 1-gigabyte SD card directly.
They use a DSLR for continuous shooting, so I think it's worth buying.
You can't stop yourself from bringing a camera up in the air.
Since there's a splashdown into the sea at the end, a waterproof type is essential,
and make sure to attach a safety line in case you drop it from your hands.
A boat cruise off the coast of Hawaii?
You can enjoy an aerial swim while looking at Waikiki and Diamond Head in the distance,
feeling the pleasant breeze.
I recommend you experience it at least once!
Oh, I think it's safer to take motion sickness medication beforehand.
150メートルに参加してきました。
13時の予約、ホテル集合12時40分、ホテル解散14時30分頃と、
非常にコンパクトに楽しむことができるアクティビティです。
ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジ横のハーバーから、沖に出ます。
2人ずつ4組の参加でしたが、残り3組は欧米の方でした。
英語のみの説明ですが、特に難しいことはありません。
足の曲げ方とか、カラビナ触っちゃダメとか、身振り手振りで十分理解できます。
選択が悩ましい高度ですが、
欧米だとワイヤーの長さがフィート換算で案内されているのでしょう、
高さ150メートルが、ワイヤー300メートル≒1,000フィートになり、
キリが良いのでしょう、1,000フィートを選ぶ方が多いと思われます。
(シールは1,000と貼られました。他2組も1,000、1組600)
ワイキキは遠くに見えますが、正直遠いので、
高度による見え方の差はそこまでないのではと思います。
もちろん、滞空時間は高度に比例します。
ということで、どれでもいいと思いますが、
メジャーと思われる高度150メートル(ワイヤー1,000フィート)をおすすめします。
写真は、30ドル。
3.5メガほどの画質で、130枚程度撮ってもらいました。
1ギガのSDカードをそのまま渡してくれます。
一眼レフの連射を使ってくれますし、買って損はないと思います。
上空にカメラを持っていくのも止められませんでした。
最後に海ポチャがあるので、防水型必須、
手から落とした時のために、命綱をつけておきましょう。
ハワイ沖をボートクルーズ?、
遠くにワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドを見ながらの空中遊泳、
心地よい風を感じることができます。

This tour is highly recommended for those who love getting out and active! Our guides Boris and Garrett were very helpful by instructing us on the basics of kayaking and snorkeling. We spent a total of about 1.5 hours snorkeling and about an hour of kayaking. I enjoyed seeing both coral reefs that we visited at the sandbar and loved to learn a little trivia about the place. I saw some wonderful reef fish and some folks even saw turtles. Afterward, we had a home-cooked BBQ lunch. Yum! The scenery was absolutely gorgeous and I hope to come again sometime. By the way, this tour is a ran by Holokai Kayak and Snorkel Adventure, a wonderful group that also runs a children's non-profit program Kama'aina Kids, which provides local children with day camps for learning environmental stewardship. Proceeds go to support the He'eia State Park and its programs. This place should be on your must see list!
Aloha and thank you again for coming out and experiencing Kane'ohe Bay with us! We appreciate it very much that you took the time to leave us such a nice review. And we also really appreciate the recognition of our affiliation with Kama'aina Kids. Everyone that comes on our tours really is contributing to a good cause. And it's so nice to have someone write a review for us that calls attention to that. Also, I can officially speak for Boris and Garret when I say that they had a great time out there with you too, and they also thank you very much taking the time to recognize them. We know that there are a lot of awesome activities you can choose from when you visit the islands, and we are very grateful that you chose to spend a day with us, and happy that you had a good time! Come see us again anytime! Mahalo nui loa.

This is a fun little trip. The check in booth is located quite a ways away to where the actual jet ski event it. You take a small van there and then take another boat to a little island. From here you get on the jet skis and take a 30 minutes to run around in circles. We had a blast.
Why 4/5 stars? They would not let you do other fun things with the boats. I used to have my own PWC so I was expecting to have a more freestyle day and not a race around in circles day. I wanted to do 180s and create whirlepool jumps. But other than that it was fun.
I would recommend.

Pick up location is litterally right behind the Ilikai Hotel where we stayed. Crew was fun and interactive. Watched others ahead of us go up and come back and the crew took pictures. We however went up (1000ft) and during our return back to the boat, the hydraulic system failed and caused a large whiplash surge to us. Banged our legs against the line but no real damage. Then I noticed a crew member removing his shirt. Why would he do that? Because he was going to get in the water. So we started to touch down into the water, but unlike the others we did not come back up. The parachute and lines sank in the water along with us and we had to release ourselves from the harness as we were being dragged. The one crew memeber dove in to gather the chute as we swam back to the boat.
Best part? I got the whole thing on my chest mounted GoPro. We were fine and it was still quite fun. We just got a bonus. So why did I give it 4/5 stars? Since I was filming it all I recorded only a little over 7 minutes when it was supposed to be a 10 minute round trip ride. So if you go bring a timer and make sure you get what you paid for.
Other than that I do recommend.

It was my first time parasailing!
Unfortunately, the weather was not great with some rain and cloudy skies, which made the view disappointing, but it gave me a reason to challenge myself to try again next time! (laughs)
I had seen reviews mentioning that some people couldn't get on the trolley, so I was worried, but I was able to board the trolley without any issues. The staff mainly spoke English, but they also spoke a little Japanese, and for the important explanations, they provided a sheet written in Japanese, which was reassuring.
The parasailing experience itself was simply amazing! It was a unique experience to look down at Waikiki from above the ocean, which was really great. The boat was quite rocky, and while I didn't get seasick, those who are prone to motion sickness might want to take some medication just to be safe. However, the day I participated, the sea was unusually rough, so it might have been particularly bumpy...
初めてのパラセイリングでした!
あいにくの天気で雨がぱらついたり、曇っていて景色は残念でしたが次回チャレンジに挑む理由ができました!笑
口コミでトロリーに乗れなかった方がいると見ていたので心配でしたが、難なくトロリーに乗ることができました。
スタッフの方もメインは英語を話されていましたが日本語も少し話されていましたし、大事な説明の部分は日本語で書かれた用紙を渡されますので安心でした。
パラセイリング自体は最高の一言!

You get a quick instruction on how to get in and get out of the scooter, and they teach you important hand signals. I don't know how to swim and never been underwater so I was extremely nervous. But everyone gets their own instructor so if you're freaking out, they're right there to help you. These guys were nice and never push you past your own comfort zone. I actually freaked out going underwater so my instructor brought me back up for a minute, let me calm down and tried it again. I got to see fish and even a few sea turtles swim by it was awesome!
My main complaint is that the guy taking pictures didn't catch any of this. He didn't take pictures until AFTER the fish swam by. So majority of my pictures that I paid $45 for are just of me in the water with no fish in it. What a waste!!
Now this is a warning for those of you who get motion sickness: I took Dramamine an hour before going out to sea and let me tell you that didn't work. While waiting for other people to have their turn, the boat was moving like crazy and I got seasick. Two other people actually got sick as well.
Overall this was a fun activity and I like that they let you snorkel while waiting for others to have their turn. However, I don't recommend this activity if you are prone to motion sickness.
Tip: Bring your own underwater camera!

The tour consisted of 12 people in groups of two and three. Usually, the pickup van for tours is late, but this one arrived on time.
We took a large boat until we reached the sea. Since the sun was quite strong, I was glad I wore a UV cardigan over my swimsuit. The instructions for putting on the equipment were in English, as mentioned in other experiences, but they used gestures to explain, so I understood it somewhat. Plus, they guided us, so it was fine to just go with the flow.
I attempted the 150m challenge, and while the cable swayed a bit like a swing when it stretched, that added to the thrill and made it fun. Up high, it was very quiet, and I could feel the wind in the sky, which was an amazing feeling. (I took off the cardigan.) The men participating wore life jackets and swim trunks, and after jumping, they put on their T-shirts again.
During the landing, we were soaked up to our waists in the sea, and it was funny to see ourselves recorded on the SD card. I highly recommend buying the SD card ($30). Just let them know "SD please" before you go parasailing, and it's all set. We looked like we were having a great time in the photos.
If I do it again, I noticed that I was mostly showing my backside in the pictures, so I plan to place the guard closer to my thighs like my husband did for more stability.
2人3組、3人2組の、計12人でのツアーでした。
ツアーだとお迎えのバンは大抵遅れるのですが、こちらは時間とおりに到着してくれました。
海へ出るまでは大型ボートに乗ります。かなり日差しが強かったのでUVカーディガンを水着の上に羽織って正解でした。
器具を装着するなどの説明は、体験談にあるように英語でしたが、ジェスチャーで表現してくれるので何となくわかりました。それにやってくださるのでそのままGOで大丈夫です。
150mに挑戦しましたが、ケーブルが伸びる時にグラっとぶらんこのように少し揺れますが、それがまた恐怖で楽しかったし、高い高い上空はとても静かで、空の風を肌で感じることが出来たのが、最高の気分でした。(カーディガンは脱ぎました)
参加された男性もライフジャケットに海パンというスタイルで、飛んだ後にまた手持ちのTシャツを着るという感じでした。
着陸の時には腰まで海に浸かって、びしゃびしゃな私たちがSDカードに記録されていて可笑しかったです。SDカード($30)は絶対買った方がいいです。パラセイリングで飛ぶ前にSDプリーズと伝えればOK。

I made a last-minute online reservation after business hours the day before, and it went through smoothly. I received a confirmation email around 7 AM on the day of the activity, and I was picked up at 8:30. The staff member was a cheerful white guy who was quite playful with the customers (laughs). The local staff was a Japanese woman, and I didn't encounter any issues.
What helped the most was having a locker available. The kayak is quite heavy, and it can be a bit challenging to pull it to the launch spot, so having a man around is helpful. I was a complete beginner, but paddling was easy. We were able to fit three people: two adults and one elementary school child.
The sea was not crowded and felt great. I wish we had more time to explore the town of Kailua, as it was a bit disappointing to not have enough time. For lunch, we could choose from two different places. It felt like a beach house, and the food was delicious. Although they didn't speak Japanese, the staff were nice.

I love roller coasters, but my experience was incredibly scary. At first, it was fun being close to the ocean, posing for the camera, and having a great time, but as the height increased, the fear became so overwhelming that I couldn't even speak. It was definitely less than 10 minutes, but it felt like a really long time to me, and I found myself wishing to get off. However, since they don't let you off right away, I reluctantly calmed down and looked around... what a breathtaking view. The ocean was a deep blue, and I could see all of Waikiki. I wanted to engrave that sight in my memory and forgot about my fear. The "ocean splash" when they finally let you down brought back the fun and made me feel at ease. It was a different kind of thrill and an amazing view compared to typical thrill rides. I wondered if 45 meters would be embarrassing, so I went for 90 meters, but while I was flying, I couldn't tell how high it was... and the photos taken were too far away, so I thought 45 meters would have been enough. This was one of the most memorable experiences during my trip to Hawaii, so I will definitely participate again next time.
ジェットコースターが大好きな私ですが、感想はめちゃめちゃ怖かったです。
始めは海も近くて楽しくて、撮ってくれるカメラに向かってポーズ取ったりしてはしゃいでいましたが、どんどん高さが増していき言葉が出ないくらいの恐怖でした。
確かに10分弱くらいですが私にはすごく長い時間に感じ、もう降ろして欲しいと思ってしまいました。
でも、すぐには降ろしてくれないので仕方なく落ち着いて周りを見ると、、、
何とも言えない絶景。
海が真っ青、ワイキキ一望。
目に焼きつけたくて怖さも忘れました。
降ろしてくれる時の『海ポチャ』が、これまた楽しさが甦って安心させてくれます。
絶叫マシンとはまた違ったスリルと絶景。
45Mだと恥ずかしいかな?なんて思って90Mにしましたが、飛んでる私には高さはわからず、、、撮ってくれる写真も遠くなってしまうし、45Mで十分かなと思いました。
今回の渡ハの中でかなり印象深かったので、次も絶対参加です。

Pickup on time. Safe and fun activity. Would go again, 600ft line was just right, 300ft was too short of a ride.

I experienced stand-up paddleboarding. First, I was worried about the explanation in English, but a Japanese staff member kindly explained everything to me. The instructor was a foreigner who was cheerful and nice, but there was hardly any guidance once we got out on the water, so I had to rely on my memory of the initial instructions to manage on my own. However, I was able to stand up relatively easily and enjoyed it.
There were a few disappointing things, though. When I returned to the reception after the lesson, the instructor handed me a towel, but the Japanese woman at the reception told me that only Royal Hawaiian guests could use the towels and took it away from me. I was charged $50 plus tax even though it was supposed to include photos. Since I thought there would be photos included, I hadn’t prepared my own camera, so I had no choice but to purchase the photos. The lesson itself was a lot of fun, so it was unfortunate. Later, VELTRA refunded me for the photo fee.
スタンドアップパドルを体験しました。
まず、英語での説明に不安があったので日本人のスタッフが丁寧に説寧してくれました。
インストラクターは外国人の方で明るくていい人でしたが、海に出てからの指導がほとんどなかったので最初の説明を思い出しながら自力でなんとかするって感じでした。
でも割とすんなりと立つことができ楽しめました。
ただ残念なことがいくつかありました。
レッスンが終わって受付に戻った際、インストラクターがタオルを渡してくれたので持っていると受付の日本人女性にロイヤルハワイアンの宿泊者のみがタオルを使えるんです!と言われ取り上げられました。
写真つきとなっていたのに50ドル+税を請求されたこと。
写真つきだと思っていたので自分たちのカメラを用意していなかったため写真を購入するしかなかったこと。
レッスン自体はすごく楽しかったので、残念でした。
後日、VELTRAさんが写真代を返金してくれました。
Thank you for using our services.
We apologize for any discomfort caused by the local staff's response and the charge for photos.

Two hours was enough. There was a lot of time spent paddling, but that's just how it is. Overall, the teaching method was good as well.
二時間あれば、十分でした。パドルをこいでいる時間が多いのですが、これはもうしょうがないです。全体的に教え方も含めてよかったです。

We participated with my daughter and her husband, as well as my sister-in-law's family, making three families in total. At first, it was very scary, but after a while, we got used to it and were able to enjoy the amazing views. The energetic and handsome staff further boosted our spirits. Unfortunately, my wife couldn't board due to a mix-up and had to stay at the port, but I received an email saying they would refund her as soon as we returned home, and I appreciate their quick response.
If we go to Hawaii again, we will definitely do this again! It was also a good decision to request a photo shoot. It became a wonderful memory.
娘夫婦、義妹家族と3家族で参加しました。最初はとても怖かったですが、少しすると慣れ、最高の景色を楽しむことが出来ました。ノリのいいイケメンスタッフが更にテンションをあげてくれました。妻は残念ながら手違いで乗船出来ず、港で持つこととなりましたが、帰国してすぐ返金するとのメールが入っており、迅速な対応に感謝です。
またハワイに行ったら絶対します!!撮影も頼んで正解でした。いい思い出になりました。

I tried surfing for the first time at the age of 62. Since I was good at skiing, I thought I could manage it and signed up casually. I imagined that balance would be important, so I did some mental training in preparation. However, the pickup was 30 minutes late, the instructions were all in English (which I couldn't understand), the semi-private lesson instructor was unfriendly (sorry for being an old guy!), and to top it off, the weather was bad, so my surfing experience left a lot to be desired. In the end, I think I managed to stand longer than the talent Junji Takada.
62歳でサーフィンに初挑戦しました。スキーは得意であったので、何とかなるだろうと、気軽に申し込みをしました。バランス感覚が大切なのだろうと、イメージトレーニングをして臨みました。しかし、朝の迎えから30分遅れてくるし、説明はすべて英語で(規定)ちんぷんかんぷんであり、セミプライベートレッスンの先生は、愛想が悪いし(おじさんで悪かったね!)、おまけに天候も悪いし、良い印象の無いサーフィンになりました。結果は、タレントの『高田純次』さんよりは長く立っていられたと思っています。

This kayak trip was awesome. I booked this tour since I heard that snorkeling is awesome in Kaneohe, and I wanted to get away from busy Waikiki. I was picked up from my hotel in Waikiki in the morning, and once we got to the state park, we were greeted by friendly staff at their gift shop where we checked in.
Make sure you bring your insect repellent. I got bit by mosquitos a few times. Once we were briefed and went down to the launch pad, our kayaks were tugged to the boat so we didn't have to kayak all the way to the first snorkel spot. The guide dropped us around the half way, and we kayaked about 15min to get to the Coconut island. The coral was BEAUTIFUL and there were a lot of tropical fish.
After 30min or so, we were then tugged again to the 2nd location. It was awesome since we were already a little tired from snorkeling. I liked the 2nd location at the sandbar, and this spot was also beautiful. The other snorkelers spotted a huge sea turtle.
We then had a chance to choose if we wanted to kayak back or tugged on the boat again. I chose to kayak back, and it was a perfect amount for kayaking for a day.
They had a fresh water shower at the park, and they took us to their BBQ lunch spot where we had a chance to eat delicious lunch with their staff.
Overall, this was a great tour. Especially recommended for families with small children or older people who can't kayak too long. Tugboat was awesome.
Highly recommended!
