Kailua Beach Adventures
My advice is to bring your own snacks and drinks. The nearby shops can be a bit pricey, and it's nice to have something on hand while you're on the water.
If you’re planning to take photos, go for the golden hour around sunset – the lighting is amazing! Just make sure to keep an eye on the tides.
Oleta River State Park
I suggest bringing your own snacks and drinks. The on-site concession stand can be pricey, and I ended up spending more than I wanted.
Take a few minutes to look for hidden spots along the trails. I found some nice secluded areas where I could chill and enjoy the peace away from the busy areas.
If you love nature, consider exploring the trails before hitting the water. I missed some great photo ops because I went straight to kayaking!
Island Kayak Adventures
I recommend booking your kayak in advance, especially during peak season. I arrived without a reservation and ended up waiting for over an hour before getting on the water.
Kayak King
My advice is to bring your own snacks and drinks. The food options nearby can get pricey, and it’s nice to save some cash for more fun stuff!
I suggest getting there by like 9 AM. The place gets crowded later, and you'll want the best pick of kayaks and a quieter river experience.
