About this experience
The Rainforest Self-Guided Kayak Tour puts paddlers on a calm river through Kahana Valley, then out into Kahana Bay along the Windward Coast of Oahu. Kayaks are picked up at the Active Oahu Tours storefront in Kailua, where staff help load gear onto a vehicle and provide a route map along with all equipment. The tour is self-guided, meaning paddlers choose their own pace and explore without a guide accompanying them on the water.
The route travels up the river into the valley, with rope swings along the way for those who want them. Snorkeling gear is available if desired. Kahana Valley is culturally significant, and the listing asks visitors to be respectful of the community throughout the trip.
This tour suits beginners and families, though a basic ability to swim is required and the physical difficulty is rated moderate. Participants should bring reef-safe sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, a towel, and shoes that work for both water and hiking. The storefront sells these items for anyone who needs them.
