The way to do Kailua Beach! - Where do I start. We were looking for a way to do a beach on the east coast. But since we were staying at a hotel, trying to coordinate beach supplies and activities is a pain in the you know what. We zeroed in on Kailua Beach as a good option with parking and facilities. But then we found KBA because we were considering kayak rentals. We looked at just the rentals, but ended up picking the self guided kayak tour because of the extras. It was SO worth it. We started the day at 8:30 with free parking in their parking lot. We were greeted and they explained everything in their package. You get as much kayak time as you want, a dolly to get the kayak to the beach. Tons of instruction and help. You get a free lunch from one of three local restaurants, and the use of any of their other equipment all day and all included. We kayaked for about 3 hours. We headed back and traded the kayaks for snorkeling equipment, bikes and a cooler. Headed to the deli to pick up sandwiches (delicious) and headed to the park for a picnic. We rode over to Lanikai, but we weren’t that impressed with that beach. We headed back after an hour, traded the bikes for a boogie board, beach chairs, and an umbrella. We walked down to Kailua and spent the rest of the day on that picture perfect beach. All of this was included in the one price and it was an amazing value. We would’ve spent 4x what we did for all these activities. And we wouldn’t have had the expertise and hospitality of this amazing company. Don’t hesitate. Book today!!

Great Service at Kailua Beach Adventures - Our kayak adventure could not have gone better. The employees at Kailua Beach Adventures were helpful, courteous, and quick in getting us set up for our tour. They made sure we were aware of local conditions that could affect the experience and return time.

From Vacation to Adventure: Safe Enough for You, Memorable for the kids. - This was easily one of the best parts of our trip to Oahu. Although we were tempted to choose the guided tour, we found the self guided tour to be an amazing experience. EVERYTHING is included. Kayaks, snorkeling gear, dry bags, even coolers! You also get a free lunch at one of the nearby eateries. You’ll still want to bring or buy your own water and snacks, (I think these are provided on the guided tour) to fill your cooler with, and if you forgot a hat, sun-shirt, or reef safe sunscreen, the shop has it in stock so you can make sure your prepared for a day out on the water where there are good chances to see turtles, octopus, and schools of beautiful fish. We did! Our interactions with the staff felt like interactions with friends (that know way more about kayaking and the island than we do). We have older children who could hold their own out on the water, and although it did get a bit choppy in the middle of our excursion, we felt confident in their abilities. If you’re new to kayaking, and or have smaller children, I’d recommend the guided tour. You’re on the windward side of the island, and with the rocky shoreline of some of the islands, it can be a bit dangerous if you don’t know what you are doing. Ask the staff to help you plan your trip based on skill level. They’ll be happy to do so.

Great customer service and experience...the place to go - We recently rented beach supplies and kayaks for our day at Kailua Beach. The team at Kailua Beach Adventures was highly professional in all aspects of our day. Every person was consistently thoughtful and collaborative in helping with our day. When some things didn't go as planned because of weather, the entire team (and particularly Brian), worked to help us have a great day. If you need anything for a beach day in Kailua...GO HERE!!!

Great experience- bad equipment - Overall, the experience was good. The staff was knowledgeable and helpful. I have been snorkeling for 45 years, raised in the keys of Florida. 2 of the 4 snorkels we rented were not working properly. When we returned and told the staff they just said sorry and put the faulty snorkels back with the whole lot of them. Beautiful waters, gorgeous reef, fun to kayak. Struggled breathing while watching a turtle because of bad equipment.
