Big Island of Hawaii Kayaking Tours
Big Island of Hawaii kayak tours get you close to the sea life!
The calm waters, abundant sea life, great snorkeling, picturesque sea caves and beautiful weather surrounding the Big Island of Hawaii make it an ideal location for Big Island kayak companies to operate a variety of Hawaii kayak tours.
The most exciting locations for kayaking on the Big Island are to be found off the Kona coast of the Big Island. Here kayaking in the lee of the giant volcanoes of Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea you'll find the tranquil waters to be crystal clear and teeming with sea life. Don't be surprised to see dolphins, turtles, perhaps a manta ray or even enjoy whale watching (yes, from a kayak) in season. Snorkeling is particularly great as well and can be done right from your kayak.

Will we see dolphins? |
One of the great kayaking and snorkeling spots off the Kona coast is the famous Kealakekua/Keauhou coastline. A number of kayak and eco tour companies paddle their way along this historic (Captain Cooke was killed here) and beautiful coastline complete with rugged sea cliffs and spectacular sea caves. Some companies even allow a supervised version of cliff diving when the conditions are considered safe enough on your kayak tour.
Kayak tours are among the most marine intensive of all the ocean activities available to you on the Big Island. You generally can choose a single or a double kayak and your snorkeling adventures off the kayaks will be some of the most rewarding to be found on any of the islands. Some companies also offer various hiking tours in conjunction with your kayaking adventure.
Tom's Tips - Big Island Kayak Tours
- It is a fantastic experience exploring the cliffs and sea caves from your Big Island of Hawaii kayak. If you're really adventurous you can enjoy cliff jumping too!
- Kayaking on the Big Island is not just for adults. Children enjoy this immensely and it's great to be able to put them in the second kayak seat.
- Mornings are generally the best times to kayak off the Big Island as the seas are generally the calmest.
Kayaking Tours and Kayak Rides in Hawaii - Options Below:
Adventures In Paradise Are you somebody who wants to do something very close to nature? One of the best ways to get a first hand perspective on Hawaii's marine life is by taking a kayak trip. Kayaks are small paddle boats that are very maneuverable and can be navigated through very shallow waters. This allows the paddler to be able to access spots that often times are very difficult to access if not impassable for larger, motor driven boats. Adventures in Paradise offers guided trips, or for the do-it-yourselfers they have an unguided kayak rental option as well. The coastline of the Big Island drops off to very deep depths almost immediately offshore. This allows the kayaking trips here to do something that is not available on the other Hawaiian Islands. The deep water can be accessed on the same trips that also see the shallow coral reefs along the shore. The deeper water has a whole different cast of larger fish then the shallow shoreline waters and being able to see it all from the perspective of a kayak is something you will never forget!…(more info) | Price Range: (From: $75.90 - To: $75.90) |
