Oahu Kayaking Activities and Tours
Choose from some of our activities listed here or give us a call to make a special package. We have local-style guided tours as well as pre-planned self-guided experiences for those who don't need a guide, but want to experience the best Oahu has to offer. The other advantage with self-guided experiences is that you are able to see and experience more things than any guided tour will ever be permitted to do.
