Amazing Kayak Adventure
Raven_G
, Jun 2022
My husband and I were first timers with the whole Kayak experience. It was an amazing time as we kayak through the water to get to a point where we snorkel and see the sea turtles, fish, and other sea life. Derek, our guide, was incredibly patient and kind. Definitely worth it!!

Clear bottom kayaking is a perfect way to see both land & sea. The waters crystal clear allowing you to see numerous marine life from within the boat. Calvin was an excellent tour guide. He was very informative about the marine life and formation of the island. He made the experience memorable.

Stick with regular kayaks
Rick_R
, Mar 2022
The clear boats are a cool idea, but less then ideal as a kayak. You slide around and it isn’t at stable as regular ones. If your goal is to go out far to get close to whales, these arent it.

Aloha Rick and thank you for your constructive review/feedback. I am sorry to hear that you were sliding around in your clear kayak seat. We do instruct our tour guides to make sure everyone is comfortable in their seats and to adjust and tighten straps on the seats as needed. If the straps are not tightened then yes you will slide around. We apologize that you had that experience. Yes our clear kayaks are definitely unique. Many of our customers share their fantastic experiences during whale season of getting close to whales in our clear kayaks. However, I understand if you were sliding around in your seat then a longer paddle out to whales would not have felt comfortable. Mahalo Tiffany

Beautiful Unique Experience!
Amanda_K
, Mar 2022
What a fun experience! We saw a whole show of a mama whale teaching the baby whale how to tail slap. We did the kayaking at Olowalu beach, which had a beautiful reef and a view of a valley behind it. I opted out for the snorkeling experience, but the kayaks were just as clear seeing from on top of the water. Calvin was our tour guide and he was very informative and wanted to make sure we were safe. Although I risked it and did not bring my phone in a water safe bag/pouch, I highly recommend this. The only thing is, count on the tour possibly ending later than expected, as we missed our next tour after that because we didn't get to leave until 30 minutes later than expected.

Aloha Amanda and thanks for sharing such a lovely review. So happy to hear you had such a great time with guide Kalvin and you were able to witness the beautiful whales! I am so sorry to hear you missed your next tour though! We do train our guides to have everybody in from the tours by 10am, however occasionally a tour guide may try to "fit more in" for their guests and the tour may end a little later. We encourage the guides to ask guests during the tour if they need to be back right on 10am so that we can avoid situations like you experienced where you missed your 2nd tour. We apologize for this and I will i form our guides again regarding this. Tiffany

A beautiful day for an adventure
Kari_D

The location had to change due to weather conditions, but we were notified as well in advance as possible. We got out on the water at just the right time, as the whales were putting on quite the surround show. Snorkeling was quite the show as soon as we hopped out of the kayak, including views of a passing Manta Ray. The fish were a bit too far down to see from the bottom of the clear kayak, but the reef and sea turtle made it worth it.

Thank you for your review and we are glad you had a great tour with guide Kalvin. Sorry the meet up place was a little odd - I believe your tour was at our alternate location of Olowalu due to construction work going on at Makena Landing Park or weather. Olowalus meet up location is a little harder to describe to guests as unfortunately their is no google map location, however everyone finds their way there with our specific directions. Thanks again for taking the time to write a lovely review. Tiffany

Our tour guide Kalvin was especially knowledgeable, helpful, considerate and entertaining. Great guy. However, the kayaks were wide, more like a canoe, not clear, no seat really - uncomfortable. Weather great. Snorkeling at turtle town was fun. Got to see some wildlife.

Thank you for your constructive feedback/review. Happy to hear you had fun at turtle town and guide Kalvin was great. We are sorry to hear you didn't enjoy our kayaks and your seat was uncomfortable. We have since got new kayaks and train guides to adjust and make sure straps on seats are tightened so guests feel supported and comfortable. If the straps are not tightened on the seats then yes it is not comfortable. We apologize you had that experience. Mahalo Tiffany

Great experience, so-so kayaks
Chelsea_D

Calvin, our guide, was excellent! He explained everything clearly but didn't waste our time talking to us needlessly (which I did observe guides from other companies doing). He was there to serve and help us for sure! The reason we didn't give this experience a "5" is because the kayaks were mediocre. We'd rather have had the "sit-on-top" variety like Calvin had. You can't see through the plastic very well. Other than that, it was a "5!" Our party saw several turtles and lots of great fish!

Overpriced, underwhelmed!
Marnie_G
, Nov 2021
This tour was overpriced (especially once converted to Canadian dollars)and really over represented what you get for your money. The kayaks were in reality clear bathtubs and not so easy to paddle in. The guide Took us around the corner from where we started to snorkel and it was less about kayaking. The description poorly represented what we got in reality, down to the Costco granola bars as snacks. I would strongly discourage this tour!
