Kayaking Tour of Kailua Bay with Lunch, Oahu

Definitely a highlight of our trip! The day we went it was very windy -which made the kayaking out there no easy task. We were a group of six, the youngest was 17, varying levels of fitness in 3 paddle boats and 1 hr 20 mins of solid paddling! Our guide Tommy was great, very encouraging and offered to pull any of us, but we didn’t take him up on it. Coming back was much easier, about 30 mins. On the island Tommy gave us a little tour, talked about the history of the area, the ecology, we saw some of the nesting birds and jumped in the Queen’s bath! We were looking forward to the snorkeling but the wind made it unspectacular. The turtles we saw while kayaking made up for it tho! Lunch was better than I expected - good sized turkey sandwich with avocado and cold drinks! We had a vegan member of our group and they graciously added a salad with no charge or hassle. Because commercial businesses have been banned from operating on the beach (a good thing!) kayakers do have to pull their kayaks to the beach on carts. It is very easy, but not quite as easy to load them and walk them back after a 5 mile kayak against the elements. After your kayak experience they do provide body boards, chairs or bikes for your continued enjoyment, which I wish our crew had been up for but we were all dreaming of showers and naps at that point!

Waters were rough the day we went out due to high wind so we could only go to flat island. However, the staff were super helpful in getting us set up with the kayaks, landing/launching, etc. the actual kayaking was a lot of fun, and seeing the bird sanctuary on flat island was really neat. The kayaking was quite strenuous, but I would definitely recommend recommend this.

Choppy ocean kayaking with very little direction is dangerous and exhausting -- something for the super fit; the alternate here is a canal similar to a lake -- very easy. Arrive early; parking is limited. We had a 2 pm slot so ate at 1. Getting the kayak to the water was a hassle, but only when the asphalt stopped and we had to drag it over sand. Your time is very limited, so plan for it. The beach itself is magnificent. You do not need a kayak to enjoy this beach. Were I to do this again, I would rent kayaks elsewhere for half the price and go to this beach just to play in the water.

Seeing the hidden beauties on the island was amazing. You could swim in the little crater pools and the view was awesome.

Goose was the best guide!! He always made sure we were good and amazing at explaining the history of where we were. No Goose no service lol jk

Great experience and beautiful area. A little challenging getting kayak to ocean and back to shop but in the end totally worth it.

Our tour guide Liam was absolutely wonderful, personable, friendly and knowledgeable. He always kept us informed of our timeline and I could really tell that when we were in the open ocean he really kept an eye on all of us. Even, the staff that helped him get us in and out of the water was wonderful also they worked great as a team and they never made Anyone like me a novice feel uncomfortable. I will definitely do this again with this company

Kayaking and Austin towing us, when we were tired. Jumping in the cold water on the island. The water shoes purchased were reasonable in price and the discount was helpful.

We loved our kayaking tour! Austin our guide was excellent, and knowledgeable. We kayaked to the circle island, and got to experience The Queens bath!

We had a very good time our guide very good and we were very confident every step of the way amazing trip.
