Active Aloha Ambassador Program

Love kayaking, e-biking, and exploring Oahu? Share your adventures and earn free gear. The Active Aloha Ambassador Program rewards passionate locals and visitors who showcase the best of Active Oahu Tours on social media — earn free kayak rental credits, e-bike credits, and exclusive beach gear just for sharing your real experiences on the water.

How It Works — Three Simple Steps

Becoming an Active Aloha Ambassador is straightforward. We believe the best content comes from genuine adventure, so we've designed a program that rewards you for doing what you already love — getting out on the water and sharing your stoke.

1

Book Your Adventure

Reserve any kayak rental, e-bike rental, or guided tour through Active Oahu Tours. Ambassadors can use their ambassador credit or pay standard rates — either way, your content earns you credits toward future adventures.

2

Share Your Experience

Post authentic photos, videos, or Stories from your Active Oahu adventure on Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube. Tag @activeoahu and use #ActiveAlohaAmbassador so we can find and feature your content.

3

Earn Credits & Perks

Each qualifying post earns ambassador credits redeemable for free kayak rentals, e-bike hours, snorkel gear, and beach equipment. Stack your credits and keep adventuring — your next trip to Mokolii or Kailua Bay could be on us.

What You Get as an Ambassador

We want our ambassadors to feel like part of the Active Oahu ʻohana. Here's what you earn when you join:

  • Free Rental Credits: Redeemable for tandem kayak rentals, stand-up paddleboards, snorkel sets, and beach gear — everything you need for a perfect day on Oahu's windward coast.
  • E-Bike Credits: Explore Kailua, Lanikai, and beyond with complimentary electric bike rental hours. Cruise the coastline with zero effort and maximum views.
  • Exclusive Ambassador Gear: Limited-edition Active Oahu merchandise — dry bags, rash guards, and stickers — available only to program members.
  • Early Access to New Tours: Be the first to try new self-guided and guided experiences before they're available to the public. Your feedback helps shape our offerings.
  • Feature Spotlights: Get featured on Active Oahu's official Instagram and website, growing your own audience while you share the aloha.

Who Can Join

The Active Aloha Ambassador Program is open to anyone with a genuine love for Oahu and outdoor adventure. You don't need a massive following — we care about authenticity, not follower counts.

  • Oahu Locals: Live on island and paddle regularly? Share your backyard and earn credits for your next staycation adventure.
  • Frequent Visitors: If you visit Oahu annually or semi-annually, the ambassador program turns every trip into a rewards-earning experience.
  • Content Creators: Photographers, vloggers, and social media enthusiasts — your content gets amplified through our channels while you earn free gear.
  • Couples & Families: Adventuring with your partner or keiki? Family-friendly content that captures the joy of Oahu's outdoors is always welcome.

Program Rules

To keep the program valuable for everyone, we ask ambassadors to follow a few simple guidelines:

  • Authentic Content Only: Share real, honest experiences. We don't require scripted promotions — your genuine enjoyment is what inspires others to explore Oahu.
  • Tag @activeoahu: Every qualifying post must tag our Instagram account @activeoahu and include the hashtag #ActiveAlohaAmbassador.
  • Monthly Minimum: Ambassadors should post at least two pieces of content per month featuring Active Oahu gear or experiences to maintain active status and credit eligibility.
  • Respect the ʻĀina: All content should reflect responsible outdoor ethics — respect wildlife, stay on marked trails, pack out what you pack in, and follow ocean safety guidelines.
  • Credit Redemption: Ambassador credits are applied to future bookings only and cannot be redeemed for cash. Credits expire 12 months from issuance.
