Yes. You pick up the kayak in Kailua and transport it yourself. You need a 4-door car, and the drive to Kahana Bay is about 40 minutes. Foam pads and straps are provided, and staff will guide you through securing the kayak to your vehicle.
Arrive 15 minutes before your booking time for pickup and gear fitting.
Park at Ahupuaʻa ʻO Kahana State Park, carry the kayak to the grassy area, and launch straight into the river.

The crew here absolutely nails the laid-back vibe that makes renting kayaks and paddleboards feel effortless rather than like a chore. Michael, Kyle, and Ethan get called out by name repeatedly for going beyond basic customer service. They're the kind of guys who'll share local apple bananas, help you figure out how to strap kayaks onto a tiny rental car without disaster, and actually give you useful advice about where to paddle. People mention heading out to Moku Island (Mokoli'i) and the sandbar as popular destinations, with the guides offering clear instructions that make first-timers feel comfortable tackling ocean kayaking even if they've never done it before. What really stands out is how chill and accommodating the team is when things don't go according to plan. Running late because of traffic? They're understanding as long as you call. Friend gets sick the night before? They'll process a refund without hassle. One group even got treated to island snacks including fresh poke and pineapple after their tour. The equipment itself gets solid marks, arriving in good shape and including snorkel gear with rentals. Whether you're looking for an affordable DIY kayak rental or want to join a guided tour on e-bikes pulling kayaks to Kailua, the consistent theme is stress-free service from genuinely nice people who make the experience memorable for the right reasons.
Mario was so accommodating and friendly. He was very responsive over the phone and communicated very effectively throughout the whole process. We booked a 3 person kayak and had a great efficient experience with active Oahu. This is a very honest local business. Mahalo!
