1-Day Single Kayak Rental in Maui
Pricing
Please select the number of single kayaks to rent | All ages welcome
Description
Your Kayak, Your Pace, Your Day on the Water!
Set out on your own Maui ocean adventure with a single kayak and an entire day to explore. Without a tour schedule or group to follow, you can choose when to launch, where to paddle, and how long you want to stay on the water. Head out during calm morning conditions, cruise alongside Maui's beautiful coastline, explore sheltered areas, or simply paddle offshore and enjoy some peaceful time on the Pacific.
Your kayak arrives ready for the water with a paddle and life jacket included, so once you've chosen your launch spot, you're ready to go. A single kayak gives you complete control over your pace and direction, whether you're looking for a relaxing sightseeing paddle or a more active workout along the coast. From the water, keep an eye out for tropical fish, Hawaiian green sea turtles, seabirds, and other marine life you may encounter along the way.
Want to turn your paddle into a bigger adventure? Bring your own snorkel gear and, where conditions and access allow, stop along the way to explore beneath the surface before climbing back aboard. Whether you spend the whole day exploring or simply sneak away for a quiet morning paddle, a full-day single kayak rental gives you the freedom to experience Maui's coastline exactly the way you want to.

FAQs
What's included with my kayak rental?
Your kayak comes with a paddle and a life jacket. Vehicle soft racks are available on request for single kayaks, so you can transport the kayak yourself if you'd like to explore more than one beach.
Where can I kayak?
A few favorites your guides point to: Kanaha Beach near Kahului for a spot away from the main tourist areas, Makena Bay for calm early-morning water and a good chance of spotting a Hawaiian monk seal, Olowalu Beach for paddling over a coral head, and Kama'ole Beach Park II for an easy, scenic stretch of coastline.
What wildlife might I see while kayaking?
Sea turtles (honu) are commonly spotted along several of the recommended paddling routes, and Makena Bay in particular offers a good chance of seeing manta rays or a Hawaiian monk seal.
Is delivery included with my rental?
Yes. Delivery and pickup are free and included with every rental. Your guides will bring your gear directly to your condo, hotel, vacation rental, or a beach of your choosing anywhere on Maui.
How far in advance should I book?
Booking a day or more ahead is recommended, since online reservations for one-day rentals require at least 24 hours' notice. Orders placed before 11:00 am (HST) can typically be delivered the same day.
