About this experience
There's nothing quite like having Kailua's turquoise waters all to yourself. This self-guided kayaking discovery lets you explore reef-protected Kailua Bay at your own rhythm - no rushing to keep up with a group or waiting around for stragglers.
Your day starts with a solid video briefing from our local crew covering bay navigation and current weather conditions. Then you're free to paddle wherever catches your eye. Head out to the offshore islands and sanctuaries, or find your own slice of secluded beach for lunch and swimming. Keep your eyes peeled for Green Sea Turtles - these protected beauties love cruising through these waters, and spotting one never gets old.
The beauty of this self-guided kayaking discovery in Kailua is the freedom to choose your own adventure. Feel like snorkeling over some coral heads? Your gear's included. Want to try boogie-boarding where the shore breaks hit just right at the north end? We've got boards waiting. Your Ocean Kayak comes equipped with Comfort Pro seats and Coast Guard-approved life jackets, plus we handle all the DLNR permits for legitimate island access.
This works for families too - kids as young as 3 (minimum 30 pounds) can join, though anyone 3-16 needs to double up with a parent or guardian. Swimming ability is a must for everyone.
Everything's covered: silicon snorkel gear, boogie board rental, secure 12" x 12" x 17" lockers, dry bags, and you'll save 15% on any retail purchases. From $89 per person for children (3-12) and $99 for adults (13+), you get the whole day until we close. Free cancellations if you change your mind more than 48 hours out. Find us at Kailua Beach Adventures, 130 Kailua Road, and get ready to discover why locals never tire of these waters.
