First off, this trip was very easy to book online. I did call Debbie to ask a few questions and she was very pleasant and good representative of the company. I took my 10 and 13 year old by myself so she was very helpful in deciding what kayaks to get. When we got there Matt and Scott were our... More

My husband and I love to kayak and at times have been disappointed by lame tours that involved little kayaking. Not so today, the 3.5 hour Kayak Adventure at Ocean Safaris is fantastic. We got two separate kayaks instead of a shared one for no extra fee (we prefer it this way to stay married :-)). The instructional part was... More

The overall tour was okay. Not a lot of history during the tour. I expected to be dazzled by the locals and their knowledge of the area, I did not get that with this company. Cliff jumping was fun however.

My wife and I love to kayak, especially in Hawaii, so when we found some time to go we booked with oceansafarariskayaks.com. Phone person Debbie was very pleasant, and helped us book both the sea cave (daytime) snorkel/kayak trip for 4 of us, and a night time Manta ray kayak snorkel. Both trips launched from a small but tidy shack... More

I've kayaked and canoed on rivers and canals before, but never in the ocean, so I wanted to give this a try. The guides at Ocean Safaris were very welcoming and relaxed. The other people in our tour included several families with young-ish children, I'd guess as young as 8 or so and everyone did fine. Most people were two... More

My husband and I went to Oahu for my 41st Birthday. We travel to Oahu often, so this time, we decided to explore another Island for a couple of days. Of course we wanted to pack every moment with fun ~ Because that's how we roll! LOL! After touching down at the Kona airport @ 7:00 a.m. we hit the... More

Four of us women took the "morning kayak adventure" which was supposed to visit several sea caves and include an on-shore excursion with some cliff-jumping opportunities. While none of us was interested in jumping off a 12-foot cliff into the ocean, we were interested in exploring sea caves. There was only one, however, and we bobbed at the entrance as... More

I am writing this as a late review-we actually went on our tour on September 4, 2010. We took the Keahou Sea Cave tour, Kevin was our guide and we had a small group of only 6 people, which made it really nice. Our pace of paddling was perfect, enough for everyone to keep up but not too slow either.... More
