Why We Love This Unique Experience

Hawaii Experience Gifts: Discover scenic views of the jungle, the ocean, and the beautiful lush Oahu mountains, with this 4-hour self-guided kayak tour through the rainforest.

Your trip starts when you meet the team and load your kayak onto your car for the very short trip to the water (foam pads and straps will be provided to help you secure the kayaks to your vehicle). There you’ll launch your craft into the river for a tranquil paddle through the beautiful Kahana Valley and onto the ocean. Along the way you’ll enjoy outstanding vistas over mountains, jungle, azure water, and a secluded beach. The waters here are very calm so this trip is suitable for beginners and more experienced kayakers, and all life jackets and other equipment is provided. If you’re feeling really adventurous you can even make a splash at one of the rope swings along your route. 

This magical half day rainforest river kayak tour would make an unforgettable gift for adventurous travellers, couples, and families, and a brilliant bonus to a vacation in Hawaii.
