We couldn’t see much for critters because a swell had just come in. But being on the ocean at night on a full moon was awesome! Jason and Gabriel were good fun and made our trip a blast.

Friendly, kind, & knowledgeable Family
A calming enlightening evening. Navigating about the coral reef with the aid of the boat lights was a lot of fun. Gabriel and Jason were great! The large canoe like kayaks with the outrigger floats were fun for a first timer like me. Probably not a great outing for younger kids. (My mistake. )I’d say better suited for young adults and couples. However the guides were very accommodating in keeping the children engaged.

Thank you so much for leaving us a 5 star review. It makes all the difference for a small family business.
We are so happy you had fun on our Sunset/Glow Tour. It is a really unique experience to see the reef at night compared to the day. Plus the added bonus of the beautiful sunset and breathtaking stargazing. The clear kayaks are perfect for beginners because the pontoon attachments make the kayak very stable and almost impossible to tip.
It can get a little late for small children who have already had a long day since it does not end until 9:15-9:45pm. I am glad to hear the guides were able to keep the children engaged.
We hope to see you on your next visit. Maybe try our Unlimited Clear Kayak and Snorkeling Tour so you can explore the reef during the day. Don't forget to reach out for your Ohana discount.

Unique way to experience the ocean at night
Fascinating and educational tour provided by a great family business!
We were provided with everything we needed and learned a lot about the coral reef and life in the ocean.
We first saw a beautiful sunset as we kayaked around the area, learned about the reef and listened to a few funny stories from Jason the owner.
We were able to explore the area with our lit boats which allowed us to see the coral reef clearly. They kept an eye on everyone to ensure that everyone was having a good time and that nobody was alone too far away from the others.
Jason then dove in and found a few urchins which he passed around to the group so that we could each feel them. Gabriel his son pointed out several jellyfish which were hard to spot otherwise since they’re clear.
The night was capped with fresh pineapple on the beach.
The entire family worked hard to ensure that everyone had a great time and clearly enjoyed working together and talking to everyone. Id totally recommend this tour to anyone who wants a unique experience!

Best excursion we have ever been on!
Gabriel's Ohana is hands down the best tourism company that we have ever had the pleasure of spending our vacation with, and we have traveled a lot.
The experience was so unique in so many ways that it is hard to describe our favorite part. From watching the powerful red sunset from the ocean on their very stable kayaks to paddling over an ancient reef full of life, the sensory overload was intense. We stargazed and watched as box jellyfish danced around our clear kayak, attracted to the many lights around the boat. We watched two squid swim under our kayaks even. Jason dove down into the dark waters to find urchins for us to see and touch up close. He told us many interesting stories about the reef and islands. There was never a dull moment. Even our teenagers raved about it for days. They said it was easily their favorite part of our vacation. They loved the glow jewelry and saw a turtle asleep on top of the reef! They use the same lights to draw in the Manta Rays as the companies on the big island do. It is mesmerizing. The best part was we never got wet or cold while we were on the water and never felt rushed. You can tell this is a family owned company, they pour their heart and souls into every aspect of the trip right down to the delicious, fresh cut pineapple and more socializing on the return to the beach. We hated pulling away. I think we could have easily spent the whole night talking with their family and never got bored for a minute.
This is beyond anything we have experienced before, worth every penny and then some. Their hospitality is A+++!
If you are looking for something to do at night that is special for your whole family from kids to grandparents, I highly recommend booking this tour! You will be thankful you did!!
Aloha and best wishes!
Thank you again, Jason, Gabriel, and Sabrina!! You made a memory we will cherish always!
