About:
There is no better way to explore the waters of Hawai’i than by Clear Bottom Kayak. Our ocean safe Clear Bottom Kayaks allow you to enjoy both, the view above and below, at the same time. Go at your own pace. Explore the underwater views through our expansive 2’ x 9’ window to the sea where the coral reefs are alive with colorful fish, honu (green sea turtles), eels, and urchins. These waters are frequently blessed by a pod of resident Spinner Dolphins and Giant Manta Rays who are often seen here.
We are conveniently located in the historical district of Kailua Kona, a short stroll from the National Historical Landmark Kamakahonu, the Kailua Pier, and directly across the street from the historical Hulihe’e Palace.
More info:
Our Clear Bottom Kayaks have a small water resistant storage area for personal items. We have both single and double seats available to rent. The material our clear windows are made of, also make the kayak a little heavier. Therefore, it is recommended to adventure with a partner for easier transport and handling. We provide wheels for our Clear Bottom Kayaks to make transportation to and from the beach a breeze!
Maximum weight capacity of 375lbs, including all personal gear.
What to bring:
Dress appropriately for a sunny day on the water. We recommend hats, reef safe sunscreen, UV protection sunglasses, a lightweight towel, and plenty of drinking water.
*Reusable water bottles, reef safe sunscreen, and towels are available at our Gift Shop for purchase if needed.
Why reef safe sunscreen?
According to National Park Service, 14,000 tons of sunscreen enter the coral reefs every year. Several of the most popular brands are made with ingredients that are harmful to both the coral population and marine life. Please avoid sunscreen containing any of the following…
- Oxybenzone and octinoxate are banned in the state of Hawaii. Both are linked to coral bleaching.
- Petrolatum (mineral oil). Mineral oil takes years to biodegrade and is known to be harmful or fatal to aquatic life and waterfowl.
- Titanium Dioxide does not biodegrade and is found to react in warm seawater to form hydrogen peroxide which is harmful to all sea life.
