What People are saying about Kahana Adventures, Kayak Rental: From Google: Sage Moon February 2024 We had a blast! Lena and her family were so kind and this place is utterly beautiful. We kayaked through what felt like Jurassic Park and ended out in the ocean. Truly the best part of our trip! Google: Steven Priovolos January 2024 Incredible hospitality, unparalleled service and overall a uniqu, beautiful experience. If you want to experience the best of Hawaiian hospitality and a true spirit of adventure, look no further!! I can't wait to be back!!!! :-) Thank you! :-) Google: John Holland January 2024 Believe the hype, genuine 5-star experience! TL;DR: A wonderfully relaxing kayak or paddle board trip through a gorgeous river and an option to paddle out to the bay. Immediately upon arrival Lena made us feel very welcomed. Everything was very relaxed and comfortable and the vibe they give off is one of family. Once we got into the river from their dock it becomes immediately apparent that you're somewhere special. There is no need to hurry, no waves to paddle past (yet), and nowhere to be but where you are. The river is gorgeous and lined with dense tropical foliage. Everything feels unreal, as if ripped off a movie set. Take your time, paddle slow, and take in the views. Also, bring some snacks and drinks. The river is a down and back situation. On the way back you'll pass Kahana Adventures dock and keep paddling until you're in the very shallow and calm bay (at least it was when we went, your mileage may vary). We paddled along and prodded the seafloor with our paddles and it was generally about 3' depending on most places. We decided to paddle over to a strip of sand, beach the kayak, and jump in the water. Everything was lovely. Upon returning to Kahana Adventures we were greatest with fresh and cold coconuts to drink, an outdoor shower to rinse off with, and restrooms to get changed in. We didn't want to leave and stayed for awhile chatting Lena and DJ's ears off. Eventually we decided to go but are already looking forward to visiting again our next time out to Oahu.
