Renting a sit-on-top  kayak is a beautiful, unique way to tour the beaches, local islets and secluded shores of the Hawaiian islands. Twogood Kayaks in Kailua, HI, have been taking tourists on adventures since the early 1980s, and they’ve collected some of the most frequent questions that come up during the kayak rental process. To make your experience smoother, the guide below will let you know what to expect. 

FAQs for Hawaii Kayak Rentals or Tours 

Do I Need Experience? 

A common question asked by first-time kayakers is whether or not they need to have kayak experience.   The answer is no. Unlike other types of kayaking, venturing out into the calm coastal, reef protected waters of Kailua Bay is perfect for beginners. You just need to be in average physical condition and willing to take pointers from the instructors. 

kayakWhat Does the Guided Tour Entail? 

When you sign on for one of the guided tours from Twogood Kayaks Hawaii, you’ll launch your kayak from Kailua Beach. From there, it’s a short paddle to the Mokulua Islands, known for their exotic wildlife and surf spots. Those with a taste of adventure might even try surfing the waves with their kayak. For a more expansive view of the islands, there are also exclusive and private tours that can be designed to your interests. 

Do I Need to Bring Anything With Me? 

You might be wondering what to bring along with you on your adventure. All of your gear, such as paddles and life vests, will be provided. For clothing, wear a swimsuit underneath what you would for a walk on the beach. If you want to document your experience out on the water, consider renting a waterproof camera to keep your memories safe, or they have water-proof phone bags available in their store.  

How Long Do Tours Usually Last? 

There are two different tours from Twogood Kayaks Hawaii: one that lasts two-and-a-half hours, and one that runs for five hours. Keep in mind that this is not paddling time, as it’s about a 1 hour paddle to the island on the 5 hr. tour, with 3 hours exploring, snorkeling, and lunch. Additionally, there are also private and exclusive guided tours, which can be tailored to your schedule and can be as long or short as you like. 

Touring the Hawaiian Islands in a kayak can be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, so if you have any additional questions, ask the professionals at Twogood Kayaks Hawaii.
