Attention

Aloha,


You can conveniently pick up the kayak at the following location:


134 Hamakua Dr. Unit B Kailua, HI 96762


Our friendly team will be there to guide you through strapping the kayak on your vehicle and provide you with all the necessary equipment. All you need is a 4-door car to transport it. Please note that it's a 40-minute drive from our address to Kahana Bay. Please show up 15 minutes before your booking time.


The valley you will kayak in is a rain forest and has all sorts of hiking trails and rope swings. It's one of our favorite locations on the island. The whole area is surrounded by epic mountains. It's a cool place.


The best place to park is in the State Park parking lot. Here is the google maps link for that location:


Ahupuaʻa ʻO Kahana State Park

From there, you carry the kayak to the grassy area and launch the kayaks straight into the river. Please handle the kayaks with care, do not drag the kayaks on the asphault and please do not sit or stand on the kayaks while on land.


Here are photos and a diagram of where to launch the kayaks:
