The kayak rental is a 6-hour rental, however most rentals last between 4-5 hours. If you would like to have your kayak rental for longer or less than the designated 6 hour slot, please just call (808) 278-7326 and we will arrange the pick-up time.

We offer two types of kayak rentals: The premium doubles and the basic doubles. The premium kayaks are $20 more in price and have a few advantages: They are newer, a little larger for stability, newer paddles, nicer back-rests, and a wheel at the keel for easy maneuverability on land.
However, both kayaks will still make for a great, memorable experience.
