    We debated among several options for kayaking in Oahu, and we were so glad that we went with Active Oahu Tours! Such a friendly and supportive staff, clear instructions, and high-end kayak/gears. We made great memories on the sandbar and would 10/10 recommend.

    Kaneohe sand bar

    Gary_V, Aug 2025
    Very nice crew. One boat pretty beat up. Far from beach and from marina (5miles). Maps were incorrect.

    Best kayak service in Oahu!

    Great experience

    Great help getting everything we needed for our trip to the sandbar including directions. The sandbar was amazing and saw a turtle come right up to our kayak as we were approaching the sandbar. Highly recommend just make sure to use plenty of sunscreen.

    Excellent service

    I'm giving the high marks for the tour operator, Active Hawaii, as theywere very understanding and provided great service. Regretavly, we did not ended up taking the tour due to inclement weather. We are hoping to take the full guided tour next time. The independence guided tour offers flexibility, but you must kayak your way to the sandbar.

    Beautiful

    Very cool self guided experience. Great for little ones as well! Beautiful and secluded areas with very few tourists.

    Have to provide own...

    Kristen_N, Nov 2022
    Have to provide own transportation for the kayaks. Difficult to kayak with the wind direction. Would have been helpful to bring snorkel gear as well
