This trip has been the highlight of our time in Oahu. The drive to the property was great and easy. It was very private with no one else on the river and the family were all so kind and welcoming. I have already recommended this trip to friends and family that will be in Oahu in the future and will be making this a regular thing every time we visit!

This was such a fun activity! A great way to see the natural beauty of the island, not just the beach but the river as well! Lean was amazing to work with, she was so kind and helpful. Overall, an amazing experience and a great way to support local!

What a top notch and memory experience. Leena makes you feel right at home—literally. You pick your kayak up from her house and parking lot. The family operation is filled with wonderful hospitality and great stories. The river portion of the kayaking is very protected and calm, mostly narrow and shallow. Incredible rainforest/jungle-like scenery. It’s not a long paddle, but we spent an hour or so on the river paddling leisurely. The ocean portion wasn’t practical when we went as it was really windy, but it was still a nice view. Highly recommend the experience and supporting a local family business.

This is a relaxing and independent experience far from the crowded tourist attractions. It is a family run business that supports the upkeep of the very river you kayak on and you can feel good about supporting it!

Wow, wonderful, tremendous, extraordinary! This kayak adventure down the Kahana river and into the ocean was all those words and more. We were greeted with the true aloha spirit ❤️ This family owned business was truly kind, thoughtful and personable.
We rented two single kayaks and make sure you get the phone case because you’ll want to take pictures. We made out kayak trip up the Kahana river which was calm and surrounded by lush green jungle. There’s a swing on a tree by the river if one should want to take a dip and cool off. This was a leisurely paddle which took us about an hour with stops to enjoy the scenery until nature told us to turn around (trees in the river). We then back tracked towards the ocean. You’re surrounded by beautiful mountains and jungle until you reach the ocean. The beauty of the view was extraordinary and my camera could not to it justice. We then made our way back to the dock. The whole experience lasted 3 hours with many stops to bask in Hawaii’s sunshine and beauty. During this whole adventure, we did not come in contact with anyone on the river which made it such an intimate experience.
We were greeted by the owners and their adorable dogs 🥰. They gifted us refreshing iced coconut drinks they grown on the property. While we finished the delicious coconut water, we chatted and enjoyed their company. This family has lived on this land for generations and it was wonderful to support a local family owned business. I will be doing this again with any family member that comes to visit me on Oahu because it was that amazing of an experience

What a fun excursion! My husband and I were in Honolulu for a conference, and decided to get out of the busy city and experience some nature. We rented a 2 person Kayak for 3 hours, paddled up the river as far as we could go, then turned around and paddled to the bay. It was a cloudy, windy day so we didn't go in the water, but there were a few places with ropes swings along the river. The river was sheltered from the wind, which we appreciated. The was bay was beautiful, and not at all crowded. The waves were a little choppy so we didn't go far in the kayak. We beached it and wandered around on foot- the bay is very shallow and we walked quite aways out. The 3 hour length was just about perfect- we returned a little early since it started raining. The owner was very nice and accomodating- she took photos for us, and had a cold coconut waiting when we returned. We were able to change into dry clothes using the bathroom. Highly recommend!!
