We had a great time with David on a kayak tour to Chinaman's Hat. It was just my partner and I on the trip and the personal attention was great. He knows a lot about the islands and was thrilled to share it with us. It was great getting outside and being active -- made me feel a lot less... More

Our family of 5 went on the 5 hour Chinaman's Hat tour. We all had a wonderful adventure and our 3 kids said that doing this was the highlight of our trip to Hawaii. I looked into other companies for tours but decided on this one because of other reviews and because I wanted a tour that included only our... More

My husband and I chose the three hour kayaking eco tour (and had I not been 6 months pregnant, we would have for sure done the longer tour) and had an outstanding time with David. Like other reviewers have stated, he's savvy to the Hawaiian history and culture and took us on a great tour. Our weather was a little... More

Unfortunately, we were there on a week when it was really windy and the waves were very choppy so we couldn't really go out on the ocean very much. However, David kayaked us up the river in Haleiwa where it was much calmer. He gave us lots of information and history about the island of Oahu and the north shore.... More

Our trip with Coastal Kayaking was awesome! I looked at many of the other kayaking tours on the island before booking but am so glad that we went with Coastal Kayaking because we were able to pick the location that we wanted and the group size is limited to the group you book, so you don't get stuck in a massive...

My wife and I have 5 kids ranging from ages 7-17. It's always difficult finding an activity that all of us can enjoy. We luckily came across Coastal Kayak Tours on the web. None of us had ever Kayaked before and after helpful instruction from David we were on our way to Chinaman's Hat for a 3 hour kayak tour... More

My wife and I did the 3 hour Haleiwa tour on July 9th. This was the first time we ever went kayaking and to top it off, my wife cannot swim. David was very patient with us though. My favorite thing about this company is that the tours are personal. You are not bunched up with another group. Will definitely... More

My boyfriend and I went for a 3hr kayak tour of Haleiwa with David on Thursday morning. David and his wife Catherine were so friendly and welcoming! Once the kayaks were all set up David gave us some safety information, which set us at ease since we have only kayaked in calm Canadian lakes. Almost as soon as we started... More

Bottom Line Up Front: You get what you pay for! We found the Coastal Kayak Tours website by pure chance, and we are grateful for it. David and his lovely wife Catherine are the co-owners of the company and are wonderful people. We went out on Saturday morning and had David as our guide. After a brief safety demonstration, as...

Toby, Marco and Jon were great guides--very helpful and patient, even on our windy day when we had to work 3 times as hard to get to Flat Island. They are all very knowledgeable and enthusiastic--seem to love imparting what they know. The lunch was better than expected (we were given vouchers good for two different places close by). The...
