About this experience
This self-guided kayaking experience sets off from Kailua Beach Adventures on Kailua Road and lets paddlers explore Kailua Bay at their own pace. Before heading out, staff provide a video briefing covering the bay, the kayaking route, and current weather conditions. From there, paddlers can visit offshore islands, sanctuaries, and beaches, find a spot for lunch, snorkel over coral heads, and spend time boogie-boarding in the shore break at the north end of the beach. A DLNR offshore islet landing permit is included with each kayak, so stopping on the islands is covered.
The tour works for beginner and experienced paddlers alike, as the bay is reef-protected. Every rental includes a Coast Guard-approved life jacket, a Comfort Pro kayak seat, a dry bag, snorkel gear, a boogie board, and secure lockers for storing belongings. Solo paddlers and pairs can each choose a kayak to fit their group. All participants must be able to swim, and younger children must share a kayak with a parent or guardian.
