WHAT THE KAYAK TOUR INVOLVES
This tour proves a great value for a full day activity in Hawaii! A comprehensive video briefing, weather updates, and instructions given by our experienced staff prepare our guests for a unique day in Kailua Bay. Not far down the beach from Flat Island is a spot inhabited by the protected Green Sea Turtles. There are often several encounters on each trip.
HOW IT RUNS
You check in at Kailua Beach Adventures in Kailua. Green Sea Turtles are a threatened species, and seeing them is a very special experience. Snorkel gear is provided to explore the Kailua coral heads. Visit your choice of several offshore islands, sanctuaries and beaches and find solitude exploring at your own pace. Find a spot to eat lunch (included in the price!) and take a swim or snorkel at your leisure.

WHO IT IS FOR
Paddlers who want a whole day on the water without a guide setting the pace. You are properly prepared first – a comprehensive video briefing, current weather updates and instructions from experienced staff – and then the day is yours: visit your choice of offshore islands, sanctuaries and beaches, and find solitude exploring at your own speed. The specific thing worth planning around is the turtle spot a short way down the beach from Flat Island, where protected Green Sea Turtles gather and where there are often several encounters on a single trip. Snorkel gear is provided so you can explore the Kailua coral heads, and lunch is included in the price rather than sold separately – unusual for a self-guided rental and the main reason this reads as a tour rather than a hire.
Consider instead: for a guided paddle with a made-to-order lunch, Kailua Beach Adventures’ stand-up paddle tour is $179. If you simply want the kit and no itinerary at all, their kayak, SUP and beach gear hire starts at $69.
