##Cancelations:

  • We operate rain or shine as long as the conditions are safe and reasonable to let people go in the water. There is almost always a chance of rain on Oahu's windward side, and kayaking in the ocean requires you to get wet anyway. So we do not cancel or refund because of rain or chance of rain.
  • Cancelations made the day of or day before are non-refundable. Reserved kayaks that turn out to be unnecessary on the day of are non-refundable. We do often get fully booked and turn people away, so we do not refund for no-shows or reserved kayaks that end up unused.
