Full description

This family-friendly kayaking tour is great for children 5 years old and up. On this group kayaking tour, you will kayak roughly 1.5 miles (2km) through the Olowalu or Ukumehame Coastline. Along the way, you will have opportunities to stop and snorkel with Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle and tropical fish. It is also very common to see manta rays and dolphins, as well as the Hawaiian monk seal.

During whale season (October through April) you will have the opportunity to see Humpback whales during their annual migration to the Islands to mate and give birth.

The early morning tour offers calmer waters and is perfect for beginner kayakers. All kayaking and snorkel gear are provided on this tour, along with light snacks and beverages. All you need to bring is your swimsuit, a towel, and sunscreen.

Helpful and friendly guide. Worked great with adult beginners and 3 young children (5,7, 9) who he helped overcome initial fears of out in ocean - Safety focused,patient,friendly , and knows areas for good snorkeling - we were lucky to see many whales due to time of year there … but snorkel and kayak experience was great in all aspects too. I’d highly recommend this for all ages - You’ll see many sea plants, corals ,and creatures and have a lot of kayaking fun too . Well done - 5 STARS

Our tour guide was very friendly. He noticed that we were very beginner for Kayaking and snorkeling so we did not go far and stopped some times on the way. We could not see school of fish but he picked sea urchin and put on our hand, which was fun. We saw a big turtle, too. Tour was a bit shorter than 3 hours but overall, we enjoyed such an experience!

We ended up not going to the West Side and I’m very glad! We went to McKenna Landing near Keihi which was a closer drive. John was so awesome and fun to learn kayaking from! Our group saw several turtles and bottle nose dolphins got real close to us! He had lots of patience with us that had never kayaked before! Even got 1 man who was afraid to swim in the water!! Ask for John if you book a kayaking and snorkeling tour!! He’s the best!!
