We provide you with a "kayak caddy" so that you can easily roll your kayak the 10 minute walk to the beach. All kayaks must be transported by the customer to the beach, this is the law so we appreciate you understanding this requirement.

Once we reach the water you push off the beautiful Kailua Beach and begin your self guided kayak adventure through the reef-protected waters of Kailua Bay. Kailua Bay and the neighboring Lanikai Beach provide a safe environment for the beginner paddler and advanced paddler alike.
