The company provides Two Person Kayak Rental options that include paddles and life jackets and permit up to eight hours on the water, suited for flexible, self-guided exploration.

The Rent a Local Tour Guide experience is led by Pohakukauea Kekaualua, a lifelong Kauai resident who shares traditional knowledge, island etiquette, and access to local sites. For powered paddling, Motorized Standup Paddleboard Rental includes an inflatable SUP equipped with a ScubaJet motor, an included inflation pump, and the choice to take the board deflated or inflated for an eight-hour rental period. ScubaJet Motor Rental units come with a handheld controller, wrist leash, and dual batteries providing approximately fifty minutes of powered water time per set. Guided Kayak River Tour trips focus on the Wailua River with a local guide who combines natural scenery and Hawaiian history.
