What to Expect

Pick up your kayak and gear at our Kailua shop, where the staff will provide everything you need for a self-guided adventure, including transportation pads and straps, a route map, safety instructions, and local recommendations before you head to nearby Kailua Beach.

Launch into the calm, reef-protected waters of Kailua Bay and paddle at your own pace. Beginners can enjoy the short trip to Popoia (Flat Island), while more experienced paddlers may venture farther to the Mokulua Islands, where secluded beaches, tide pools, and the famous Queen's Bath reward the longer journey. Along the way, keep an eye out for Hawaiian green sea turtles and colorful reef fish beneath the surface.

Choose a half-day or full-day rental to explore as much or as little as you'd like, with time to relax at Lanikai Beach, snorkel in the clear water, or simply enjoy one of Oʻahu's most scenic coastlines before returning your kayak at the end of the day.
