Toby was a great guide! This is the second time we’ve used this company and every time it’s a highlight of the trip! This is a must-do if you visiting Oahu!

My wife and I are 62 years old and were a bit concerned about paddling 5-miles thru the ocean. As it turned out, we showed the youngsters on this trip some “true grit” in very tough, windy seas. Cavello was an excellent paddling coach and guide who gave us the inspiration to go for it. We even caught a couple of nice waves to surf our way back to shore. I highly recommend this trip…

My wife and I had a lovely time! Our guides were knowledgeable and friendly. They were super helpful and we had a great time! The length of the adventure felt just right.

Carrie and Kewalo were excellent guides in and out of the water. Almost none of our party were locals but they made us feel welcome in the spirit of sharing Hawaiian culture specifically relevant to the Kailua Bay region, as well as the traditional stories behind its sites. If you and a few friends want to have a great time rowing out in the bay and learning something at the same time they’re exactly what you want.

We really enjoyed this excursion. But be prepared to paddle! Great paddle. To the island and walk around a bit. Jumped inside the queens’ bath and learned about some local legends. Great afternoon.
