    The crew here absolutely nails the laid-back vibe that makes renting kayaks and paddleboards feel effortless rather than like a chore. Michael, Kyle, and Ethan get called out by name repeatedly for going beyond basic customer service. They're the kind of guys who'll share local apple bananas, help you figure out how to strap kayaks onto a tiny rental car without disaster, and actually give you useful advice about where to paddle. People mention heading out to Moku Island (Mokoli'i) and the sandbar as popular destinations, with the guides offering clear instructions that make first-timers feel comfortable tackling ocean kayaking even if they've never done it before. What really stands out is how chill and accommodating the team is when things don't go according to plan. Running late because of traffic? They're understanding as long as you call. Friend gets sick the night before? They'll process a refund without hassle. One group even got treated to island snacks including fresh poke and pineapple after their tour. The equipment itself gets solid marks, arriving in good shape and including snorkel gear with rentals. Whether you're looking for an affordable DIY kayak rental or want to join a guided tour on e-bikes pulling kayaks to Kailua, the consistent theme is stress-free service from genuinely nice people who make the experience memorable for the right reasons.

    We rented kayaks and e-bikes from Active Oahu Tours and really enjoyed our adventure kayaking from beautiful Lanikai Beach to Mokulua Island. My son enjoyed taking a dip in the Queen’s bath. Michael the owner was super nice! He personally guided us on the e-bikes towing the kayaks through the neighborhood to the beach. We were impressed with his customer service. Michael and his staff are so friendly and helpful. We found that Active Oahu Tours had the best pricing. We would definitely support his business again!
