All Reviews for Kayaking Tours & Canoe Paddling

I became interested through a media introduction. I participated with my elderly parents in their 70s, and it was enjoyable as long as you weren't the one paddling. We were able to experience the planned three waves. A professional photographer takes pictures, but I would have appreciated being able to easily use my own phone or camera.

プロのカメラマンが写真撮影をしてくれますが、自分の携帯かカメラを容易に使用できると嬉しいなと思いました

My son and I enjoyed this so much. Captain John and his crew were fantastic, super friendly and accommodating. Since it was the 2 of us, I had to pay for a third person (one of the crew members), but it was all worth it. This was something I dreamed of doing and I 'm so glad we did. We even saw a turtle. At the end of the ride we took pictures with the crew and enjoyed a very pleasant conversation with the captain. Highly recommend!

Under the guidance of our cheerful guide, we rowed with all our might! The exhilaration afterward was amazing, and it's an activity that becomes addictive. If I have companions in the future who haven't tried this activity, I will definitely recommend it and join them!

愉快なガイドさん？の指示のもと、必死でオールを漕ぎます！笑
そのあとの疾走感は最高で、クセになるアクティビティです^^
今後、同行者にこのアクティビティをしたことがない人がいたら、必ずお勧めして一緒に乗ります！

We had a canoe experience with our 8 and 10-year-old kids. Every time we crossed the waves, my daughter exclaimed, "It's just like Moana!" and she was so happy.

While waiting for the waves, we chatted and relaxed, and when the waves came, we rode them at an incredible speed. It felt amazing and was the best experience! We rode the waves about three times and were very satisfied! Mahalo🌺

We had four seniors, and although we were a bit anxious, the two instructors were amazing. I never expected to have so much fun! It was my first experience, and I could feel the Hawaiian breeze all over my body. I'm going back to Hawaii in two months, and I definitely want to participate again next time.

高齢者4人、不安もありましたがインストラクターの方2人が最高でこんなにも楽しめるなんて思いませんでした、初めての体験でハワイの風を全身で感じられました、2ヶ月後に又ハワイへいくのですが次回も是非参加しまず

I took my wife and daughters to Hawaii and we found this excursion. It looked a little challenging but the crew was professional and we had an amazing time! Highly recommend it!

Paddling out towards the waves at Waikiki Beach and riding them back is a repetitive but enjoyable experience. Paddling can be quite tiring, but it was thrilling and fun. I think I'll try it again next time.

ワイキキビーチの波に向かって漕ぎ、そして波にのって戻ってくるの繰り返しですが、漕ぐのはまあまあ疲れますが、迫力満点で楽しかったです。次回もまたトライしようと思います。

I had a wave-riding experience that felt just like surfing. The view of riding the waves towards the hotels on Waikiki Beach with Diamond Head on my right side was breathtaking.

I was also lucky enough to see a sea turtle.

まるでサーフィンをしてる様な波乗り体験が出来ました。
ダイヤモンドヘッドを右手側にワイキキビーチのホテルに向かって波に乗る景色は
絶景です。

運よくウミガメも見る事が出来ました。

We had a really good time. Our only complaint was that out of all the pictures there are none of showing us actually riding the wave in. As well we really only wanted a couple of the pictures but didn’t have that option, buy them all or none

We used it across three generations! After a brief lecture, we headed straight to the sea. It was surprisingly easy to get out to the open water, and with the guide watching the waves, we surfed on canoes! The view of Diamond Head was beautiful and we had a great time.

3世代で利用しました！
簡単なレクチャーの後に、すぐに海へ。
意外と簡単に沖に出て、ガイドさんに波を見てもらい、カヌーでサーフィン！
ダイアモンドベッドも綺麗に見えて楽しかったです。

It was just the two of us, the captain, and a young guy, so there were four of us in total. At first, I was scared when we were paddling out to sea because of the big waves, but once I got used to it, it was fun and great. Surfing was the best! 😀 Since I'm a bit of a scaredy-cat, I borrowed a life jacket. I had a lot of fun. I was able to buy the photos and videos properly. Thank you very much!

私達夫婦2人と、船長さんと若いお兄さんの4人でした
海に向かって漕ぐ時、大きな波だと最初怖かったけど、慣れたら楽しくて良かったです
波乗りも最高😀
怖がりだから、ライフジャケット借りました
楽しかったです
写真ビデオちゃんと買う事できました
ありがとうございました

The weather was great, and I had a fun time surfing. The captain's shouts of "Paddle!" and "Faster!" got me pumped up, and when I was exhausted, I was able to catch a wave and feel the best breeze.

天気に恵まれ、楽しい波乗りができました。キャプテンの「こいで！」「早く！」にテンションが上がりクタクタになってきたら波に乗って最高の風を感じられました。

I paddled several times to catch the waves, but it was so much fun and absolutely amazing. When I finally caught a wave, it was even better. The receptionist, who spoke Japanese very well, was incredibly kind. The commemorative photo and video package was $75, and it was a lot of fun.

波に乗るのに、何回も漕ぎますが楽しくて楽しくて最高です。
波に乗れた時は、もっと最高でした。受付の日本語の上手なお姉さん、最高に優しかったです。
記念写真+動画で75ドル、楽しかったです。

We had a fun experience with a muscular local guy in the front and back of the canoe, while the three of us seniors sat in between. We paddled with the commands of the guy in the back, who would say "right" or "left." If we made a mistake, he would point it out in Japanese by saying "number one opposite." He also scooped out the seawater that came into the canoe with a bucket. It felt great to ride the waves in the canoe, but next time, I want to experience it with even bigger waves!

カヌーの前後にマッチョな地元のお兄さんが乗り､その間に私たちシニアの3人が乗り込み、後ろのお兄さんの右､左､と言う掛け声でオールを漕ぎます､間違ったら番号で1番反対〜と日本語で指摘されたり､カヌーの後ろに入ってくる海水をお兄さんがバケツでかき出したり楽しい体験でした👍
波に乗ってカヌーが進むのが気持ち良かったでも､次はもっと大きな波で体験したいと思います

I participated with two friends! For someone like me who can't surf, it was my first experience riding the waves, and it was amazing! It was fun to be seen and waved at by various people, which was quite unique. I can only speak Japanese, but there were no issues as they gave instructions in simple English! I highly recommend it!

友人2人と参加しました！
サーフィンできない私にとっては波に乗るという体験が初めてだったので、最高でした！
珍しかったのか色んな人から見られたり、手を振られたりして、それも含め楽しかったです。
日本語しか話せませんが、簡単な英語で指示出ししてくれるので問題ありませんでした！
おすすめです！

Quick but fun experience. Staff was very skilled. Don't worry if you only have 2, they just add another staff to help paddle.

The weather was nice, and I had a great time, but the experience was a bit short for the price. I would expect at least one hour for the amount I paid.

お天気にも恵まれ、楽しかったけど、料金の割に体験時間が短めだった。
支払った料金だと最低限1時間は行って欲しいです。

I have no surfing experience and I'm afraid of entering the sea as I'm not a good swimmer, but I was able to truly enjoy riding the waves! I had no fear at all! It was the best experience!

サーフィン経験なし、カナヅチで海に入るのが怖い私ですが、心から波乗りを楽しむことができました！
恐怖心は全くなかったです！
最高の経験ができました！

This was beyond my imagination!!!
I thought it would just be riding a boat and paddling in the sea, but I was completely wrong!
We had six people in a narrow canoe that was about the width of our bodies.
We pushed the canoe out from Waikiki Beach into the ocean ourselves.
Then, we quickly boarded the canoe and paddled out to sea.
In sync with the leader's call, we went one-two.
When the leader said "switch," we changed our paddling from the right side to the left.
On our way out, surfers were waiting for waves.
As we passed by the surfers, we greeted them with a "Yeah!" and a shaka sign.
The cute local surfers in bikinis smiled and returned our "Aloha."
Finally, when we reached the wave waiting point, we turned around and waited for a good wave.
In response to the leader's call of "paddle," we paddled at full speed to pick up the pace.
Once we caught a wave, we moved toward the beach at an incredible speed.
It felt like what surfing must be like, and it was exhilarating.
Wow, it was a more enjoyable experience than parasailing.
I definitely want to try canoe surfing the next time I go to Hawaii.
I regret not knowing about this despite having been to Hawaii multiple times—it's highly recommended!

これは想像以上でした！！！
ボートに乗ってオールを漕いで海に浮かぶだけと思っていたら大間違い！
自分の体の幅ほどの細いカヌーに縦に６人乗り。
自分たちでカヌーを押し出しワイキキビーチから海へ。
そして素早くカヌーへ乗り込み沖に向かってオールを漕ぐ。
リーダーの掛け声に合わせワンツー。
そしてリーダーが「はんたーい」と言えば右側から左側へと漕ぐ場所を変える。
沖まで行く間にはサーファー達が波待ちをしている。
サーファー達の横を通り過ぎる時はイエーいとシャカサインでご挨拶。
ビキニのかわいいロコサーファー達が笑顔でアロハと返してくれます。
そしていよいよ波待ちポイントまで来たらくるっと方向転換していい波を待つ。
リーダーの「こいでー」の掛け声に合わせて猛スピードでオールを漕ぎスピードアップ。
波に乗ったら想像以上の速さで波と共にビーチに向かって進みます。
サーフィンやったらこんな感じなんだと思う体験がここと躍らせます。
いやー。パラセーリングより楽しい体験でした。
ハワイに行ったら必ずカヌーサーフィンやろうと思いました。
ハワイは何回も行っていたのになぜ知らなかったんだろうと後悔するほど超おすすめですよ。

During my stay in Waikiki, this was the most exciting activity nearby. Even those who are not good at surfing can ride the waves and experience the thrill. I recommend trying this canoe surfing before parasailing or jet skiing.

ワイキキ滞在の中で、最も近場で、最もエキサイティングなアクティビティです。
サーフィンが苦手な人も、波に乗り、爽快感を味わうことができます。
パラセーリング、ジェットスキーよりも、まずこのカヌーサーフィンをオススメします。

I participated with my 10-year-old child and my mother in her 70s. Just to be safe, we borrowed life jackets on-site. It really felt like we were surfing, and the waves and wind were refreshing; we had an amazing time! I highly recommend it.

10歳の子供と70代の母と一緒に参加しました。念の為ライフジャケットは現地で借りました。
本当にサーフィンをしているようで、波と風が気持ちよく、最高に楽しみました！
おすすめです。

I really wanted to try it, even though it was expensive, so I paid for three people and went for the experience. On the day, there was no wind and the waves were calm, but we managed to ride the waves three times. It was my first time going out to the waters off Waikiki, and it was truly beautiful! Since we didn't have enough people, three guys joined us on the canoe. They were part of the beach service staff, and it seemed like it was their first time on a canoe as well, but we all had fun following the instructor's guidance together. When we went out to sea, the instructor suddenly signaled us to jump into the water, which was a lot of fun! I'm really glad I participated!

どうしても、やってみたくて高く付くけど3人分支払い体験して来ました。当日は、風も無く波は穏やかでしたが3回波に乗れました。初めてワイキキの沖の方まで行きましたが本当に綺麗！人数も足りないので3人のGUY達も一緒に乗ってくれました。ビーチサービスのバイト君たちで彼らもカヌーは初めてだったようで師匠の指示に一緒に従いながら楽しめました。沖に行くと師匠の合図でいきなり海へ飛び込んだりと楽しませてくれました♪参加して良かったです！

This was such a fun family activity! A first for us, but something we’ll definitely do again when visiting Oahu. The staff was very friendly and clear on what we needed to do. The captain knows what he’s doing. He caught three awesome waves! A must do, especially if you have you get children!

We participated as a three-generation family. My mother is elderly, and my child has no surfing experience, so this time we tried surfing as an activity. Both of them were thrilled to ride the waves for the first time. I highly recommend it!

家族3世代で参加しました。母は高齢だし、子はサーフィン経験なしなので、今回はこのアクティビティで波乗り体験をしました。二人とも初めて波に乗って大喜びしてました。オススメです！

Start from the beach at the Royal Hawaiian.
When you show the VELTRA voucher (on your smartphone screen) at the poolside reception of the Royal Hawaiian, your check-in is complete. You can take off your shoes and have your bag stored. There may be someone who speaks Japanese among the staff.

We participated as two adults and three children (a high schooler, a middle schooler, and an elementary schooler), and we all got on one canoe, along with the captain and the paddler, totaling seven people. Everyone except for the small children basically needs to paddle. It requires quite a bit of strength. It can be tiring.

However, the refreshing feeling of gliding smoothly over Waikiki Beach is wonderful. You typically make about three round trips. (There isn't much time to take photos, but I think it's possible to take selfies if you waterproof your device perfectly.)

Additionally, they take photos for you, and if you pay, they have a system to send them to you online. I think it was around $60.

ロイヤルハワイアンの砂浜からスタート。
ロイヤルハワイアンのプールサイドの受付にベルトラバウチャー（スマホ画面）を見せると受付完了。靴を脱いで、バッグも預かってもらえます。女性の日本語がわかる方がいらっしゃる場合があります。

大人2人子供3人（高校生、中学生、小学生）で参加しましたが、1台のカヌーにのり、船長と漕ぎ手が乗り合計7人でのります。小さな子供以外は、基本的に漕ぐ必要があります。結構な力で漕ぎます。疲れます。

ただ、ワイキキビーチを颯爽と滑る爽快さは素晴らしい。大体３往復くらいしてくれます。（写真を撮る余裕はあまりないですが、防水完ぺきにして自撮りすることは可能と思います）

なお、写真は先方で撮ってくれていますが、お金を払えばネットで送ってくれるシステムです。60ドルくらいだった気がします。

I chose this experience to create lasting memories for my friend's first trip to Hawaii. Two guides accompanied us, and the three of us—my friend and my husband—got into a five-person canoe. The location was the beach in front of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel.

First, we received a lecture on how to ride the outrigger canoe and how to hold the paddle on land. We pushed the outrigger canoe from the sandy beach into the sea. Then, we sat in designated spots in a line and started paddling out to the waves, waiting alongside the surfers. The instructions were given in Japanese, such as "Pull harder!" and "Opposite!" so we just kept paddling.

It was reassuring to have guidance on the wave points and timing. The view from the sea was incredibly beautiful compared to what we usually see from the beach. We rode three times, and it was harder than I expected. It was a lot of fun!

友人の初ハワイの思い出に残るように今回チョイスしました。

濃いで！反対！早く！と指示は日本語で声がけしてくれますから、ひたすら漕ぎます。
波のポイントやタイミングもアテンドがあるので安心でした。
日頃はビーチから見る景色を海から見るのは凄く綺麗でしたよ。
3回ライドしましたが思った以上にハードでした。
楽しかったです。

I have never surfed before and I probably won't in the future, so I decided to join this experience to feel that vibe casually. The speed was much slower than I imagined, and I didn't feel scared at all. Watching the people surfing on the same waves and being able to ride the waves together was fun and made me feel like a surfer. However, it ended in no time. It would be nice if it were a bit cheaper.

サーフィンをした事が無く、今後もできそうもないので、気軽にそんな気分になれそうなこちらに参加しました。
想像よりもスピードはゆっくりで、全く怖さはありませんでした。同じ波にサーフィンしている人達を見て、一緒に波に乗れたのは、サーファー気分で楽しかったです。
しかし、あっという間に終わりでした。もう少し安価だといいですね。

This is a fun ride. A great way to enjoy the waves in Hawaii. Russell was a great captain and made it an enjoyable experience. Worth every penny we paid. Will have to come back and do it again.

This was so amazing and fun. The crew was top notch! We will definitely do this on all return trips to the island.

I had been curious about this activity for a while since it was featured in several TV programs, and everyone who watched it said, "It was fun!" I participated with another adult woman, but as mentioned in previous reviews, the minimum number of participants is "three," so we paid for three people to join. With fewer participants, a staff member will accompany you to paddle together.

Before we started, I was a bit anxious, but once we got into the canoe, all my worries disappeared. We all paddled hard out to sea, waited for good waves, and when the right wave came, we paddled hard again to start! The thrill of the canoe riding the waves was amazing! I felt like I understood why surfers get so caught up in the waves. We managed to ride the waves three times.

Next time I visit Hawaii, I will definitely repeat this activity!

いくつかのTV番組などで紹介されていて、どれを見ても「面白かった！」との感想だったので、前々から気になっていたアクティビティでした。
大人な年齢の女性二人で参加したのですが、前のクチコミの方がおっしゃっていたように、最低申込人数が「三人」となっているので、三人分の料金を払って参加しました。少ない参加人数だと、ちゃんと後ろに一緒に漕いでくれるスタッフの方が付いてくれます。
始まる前は少々不安でしたが、いざ、カヌーに乗り込んでしまえばそんな不安は吹っ飛びました。沖の方までみんなで一生懸命にカヌーをこいで、沖で良い波を待ち、乗れる波が来たら、再び一生懸命前に漕いでスタート！
カヌーが波に乗って走る疾走感！！最高でした。サーファーの方たちの波に夢中になる気持ちがわかったような気がしました。三回、波に乗れました。
次回、ハワイを訪れたら、絶対リピート、決定です。
