Book with Michael and you’ll be glad you did
If you want a tour in Oahu do yourself a favor and book with Michael. He’s extremely knowledgable, fun, accommodating, and responsive. Our family of 10 did 2 custom tours and both were top notch. The stories he told, the local food spots, and activity recommendations were invaluable to making our first time Hawaii experience unforgettable.

Excellent communication and customer service. 10/10
Our family of six rented three, two person kayaks. Excellent communication by email with staff . Great pricing. Helped us get all three kayaks secured to our rental car not to mention gave us all the needed equipment and more. They couldn’t have been nicer or friendlier. We paddled out to the. Kaneohe sandbar and snorkel along the reef where we saw tons of tropical fish and honu sea turtles.

Incredible experience. Steve made us feel like family. My daughter will never forget canoeing up the river and jumping off the boat. The personal service we received made the decision to return again a very easy one. We can't wait to head back to north shore.

Wengotnpicked up with a Raptor F150 at our Hotel. After a quick ride over the beautiful island of Oahu we arrived at the beach. It was very good organized and with an experienced and friendly guide. We only can recommend this organization and this trip. We even saw a seal sunbathing on the little island which was a beautiful bonus.

Awesome experience kayaking to Mokes
We had an absolutely gorgeous early morning kayaking trip out to the Mokulua Islands with Active O’ahu! The kayaks and all the equipment were in great condition—clearly well maintained and easy to use.Before the trip, Michael was incredibly communicative and quick to respond to all our questions. He tailored the experience to what we wanted. During the trip, he took amazing photos and even captured drone footage of us, which made for some unforgettable memories.After the paddle, we enjoyed a delicious poke bowl lunch that was the perfect way to end the day.Awesome experience from start to finish. Mahalo, Active O’ahu for our adventure! Highly recommend!!

Guided E-Bike and Kayak Tour to Mokulua Islands in Kailua, Oahu
Storyteller776833, Sep 2025
Awesome day! Highly recommend!
We had the best time with Kyle our tour guide. He was very informative and helped us feel very comfortable. We have never ridden E-bikes & had to pull kayak behind them to get to the drop spot in Kailua.-approx a mile. It was actually very easy and fun. We also have never been on kayaks in the ocean. Surprisingly it was a lot easier than expected. It was a beautiful day & waves were calm. The waves got a little larger coming back, but as long as you cut them in half they were no problem at all. Our intent was to explore the mokes, however a baby monk seal was just born, so the mother and it were both on the island. DLNR was there to ensure nobody came close to protect them so we saw them from afar and worked our way back to Lanikai for some snorkeling. Kyle brought some water and granola bars for a snack for us. Saw beautiful fish. Sadly got stung by a jellyfish Manowar. But that could happen anywhere… When we got back to the shop Kyle treated us with his favorite island snacks which included fresh poke, seaweed, sweet white pineapple, and drinks. Would highly recommend doing this tour and would definitely come back and do it again! 10 out of 10!
