      Rowing and history

      jolyn_b, Nov 2025
      Not what I expected. You just row to the middle of the bay- around and back. We did hear some nice history.

      A fun and educational...

      A fun and educational activity. We had Tommy guiding us. He made sure we had a safe and enjoyable experience while learning about the local history. We highly recommend this activity! Watch for the schools of bright yellow/orange fish near the pier area

      Don’t miss this canoe tour!

      The guide was extremely professional, and very knowledgeable about Hawaiian history and culture. Grant was an amazing guide!
