Plan your own day on Kaua'i’s Wailua waterways with a Kamokila kayak rental. This is a 4–6 hour self-guided rental designed for beginners and independent explorers who want flexibility without a fixed tour route.

After check-in at the meeting point, you’ll receive a safety and route briefing with clear instructions, plus the essentials for the day: life jacket, dry bags, and a map (the map provided depends on which activities you choose). Then you’re free to decide how you want to spend your time on the water.

During your rental, you can choose between one, two, or all three optional activities—hike to a waterfall, visit the Fern Grotto and swim at a natural swimming hole. Access to all three is included in the price, but the pace and order are entirely up to you. If you’re aiming for the hike portion, water shoes are recommended for comfort.

This rental is ideal if you want the freedom to explore at your own speed and make the day your own. Please note that transportation is not included and you must arrive with your own vehicle so the kayaks can be loaded on top. Staff will help you load the kayak before you depart. It is a 5-minute drive to the launch area.

Important timing note: the rental/meeting point closes at 6:00 PM, and all kayaks must be returned by 6:00 PM (mandatory)—including rentals that start at 1:00 PM.
