Kayaking on the Big Island
Kayaking is one of the most serene and beautiful ways to experience the coastline and sealife of the Big Island. We offer guided kayak trips (snorkeling included) for either half day, full day or multiple day adventures. We also rent kayaks, and camping gear, by the day or week for those wanting to go it on their own.
We are located in South Kohala which has some of the most dependable weather, spectacular snorkeling and beautiful beaches. The Spinner Dolphins can often be found throughout the year, Turtles are abundant, Manta Rays have been known to scratch their backs against kayaks. If that isn't enough December through March is whale watching season. If you have the chance to be kayaking among these mammals and sea creatures, it will give you memories to last a lifetime.
