Fun and easy kayaking! - Calm water, easy to maneuver, beautiful scenery and option to kayak in the bay in the ocean. There is a swing and rope swing along the way if you want to stop and have a little fun:) We also beached our kayak and enjoyed waking along the secluded beach on the bay. Very nice family run operation. They were great hosts!!

Paddle out - Local family owned. Very amazing experience. I have always wanted to paddle out into that bay and it was everything I had hoped.

Will do again - The family who run this were so helpful. They are so knowledgeable of the area and conservation is most important to them. So many beautiful sights to see.

Relaxing, tranquil, and beautiful - We were looking to do something a little bit different and adventurous, that wasn't ATVing (although we did that too). This really worked out far better than I had expected. We've crossed over this particular river so many times and never really thought to stop and explore. The owner (his family has been on the land for many generations) is super hospitable, accommodating, and provided everything you'd possibly need. We rented the 2-person kayak, but he also made available waterproof phone cases, bug spray, and life vests. An hour was plenty to go up and down the river and play on the rope swings. I'm not sure how far you could actually get, but it does get a bit narrow and tough with all the overgrowth a bit after the swings. I do think the river scenery was nicer than the river at Haleiwa, but it's probably not more than an hour. The really nice part of the day is the river empties into the bay and boy that was really, really nice. The water was calm, very blue, warm, and pretty shallow pretty far out. For our first attempt at ocean kayaking, it was very serene. There was only one other couple in our time slot and so we mostly had the river and bay to ourselves. To cap off the morning, we were treated to some shave ice and had a great time talking to the owner and the other couple. One word of warning though, the river is pretty murky and deep in places, so be sure not to drop anything like I did with my sunglasses. I really liked those sunglasses too, I just watched it slowly sink. Anyhow, book this activity, it's definitely worth it and reasonable.

Peaceful, Fun, Hidden Experience - This was a fantastic find! We stumbled upon it and are so thankful that we did. We rented a double kayak and had a wonderful time exploring the river and then heading to the beach for a little time out there. So peaceful! I hope people discover this place and give them business, but I also hope everyone keeps the peace because it's beautiful.

Worth the price - It was the best experience in Hawaii and the owners were so warm and cordial. The experience was peaceful and tranquil. 100% recommend if you are in Honolulu and want to do some kayaking.

An Absolute Blast! - We had the most amazing experience. We were running a little late (which is usual for us with a 10 month old), and they were so welcoming and stress-free! She told us to take our time and to drive safe. When we got there, their family took us in and made us feel like a part of theirs. The river was absolutely beautiful, and we really enjoyed going out towards the bay. We pulled the kayak up on the beach and let the baby play in the sand for an hour or so, then headed back. They were so beyond helpful with getting into and out of the kayak, giving us tips of the river, and just overall making us feel so welcome! It has been by far the best experience we’ve had in Hawaii!

Amazing time - Amazing time kayaking in the river and out in the bay. It was super easy to get started, and we enjoyed our time kayaking. We got a 2-person kayak. We stopped for a little while at the rope swing in the river. A ton of great views along the way. A great value too compared to some other kayak rental and tour places. Would definitely recommend and do it again if/when we return.
