Plan Your Oahu Kayaking Adventure
Active Oahu is a Kailua-based outfitter for Oahu kayak rentals, guided tours, e-bike adventures, stand-up paddleboards, snorkel gear, and beach equipment. Make a reservation with us and our local team will set you up with the right gear, route guidance, and ocean-safety context for the day.
We can help you plan practical self-guided adventures around Kailua, Lanikai, Kāneʻohe Sandbar, Mokoliʻi (Chinaman’s Hat), Sharks Cove, and other favorite island spots. You still get the flexibility of going at your own pace, with local guidance so you are not guessing about routes, parking, wind, or timing.
We offer self-guided stand-up paddle boarding or self-guided kayak tours on a secluded river in Kahana Valley and ocean kayaking to Mokolii, Chinaman’s Hat, where you can hike and see amazing views. We also offer kayaking to the Mokulua islands in Kailua Bay where you will get a permit from our team to land your kayak on the beach of the bird sanctuaries of Popoia island (Flat island) or Moku Nui, one of the Mokulua Islands (Twin Islands).
Join us for a single activity or do a multi-day rental so you can keep adventuring for your whole trip. We help make your Oahu kayaking adventures a breeze so you have more time on the water packed with priceless memories that you can take home with you.
