R - So fun. Our tour guys were amazing. One said it was his first time to lead the tour. He fell off his board which made me feel at ease in case I fell. lol. Highly recommend

Excellent but got stuck (no fault of venue) - Activity was excellent I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to do this. However if you are taxiing I would pre-book a return taxi as very difficult to get back to Wakiki without a vehicle.

Great experience - We absolutely loved our experience. We were late due to our plane turning around. Cousin worked with us and filled us in the 9 oclcok slot which was so nice. I’m so glad we didn’t miss it. If you know what Ohana means before you go he’ll give you extra points.

Magnificent - The guide was fantastic, he behaved magnificently. He knows a lot about history and taught us especially plants and stars. It was an approach to culture, not just Hawaiian, and even more so because in the area you will find several temples from other regions.

Paddle, laugh, ALOHA - A spectacular experience! Fatu was an amazing guide, funny and knowledgeable. One of our favorite adventures on Oahu, we will be back. No experience needed, we were all beginners.

Run to this excursion if you want a memorable experience to share with your loved ones! - This excursion was so fabulous! My family of four attended, two adults and two teens. The staff were very accommodating and provided all the information needed to get there safely to having on the right clothing. Our tour guide, Cap’s youngest son, kept us engaged and entertained throughout the entire tour. This is a must to do in Hawaii!

Lame - The guide was cool but I’m more frustrated with the “kayak” experience. Should have said “float in a kiddie pool” I was looking forward to kayaking not playing with toddler toys. False advertising on your part
