Da Life Outdoors | Kauai Beach Boys operates out of Lihue, Hawaii, offering ocean and land-based adventures around Kalapaki Bay and nearby waterfalls. The company provides surf lessons taught by instructors who have been teaching since 1983, small class sizes, daily sessions, and quality equipment suited for beginners. Stand-up paddleboard (SUP) lessons are available as private sessions in the calm waters of Kalapaki Bay.
Outrigger canoe rides combine paddling with traditional Hawaiian surf practices guided by an experienced waterman. Guided waterfall swim and hike tours lead guests on 1.5 to 2 hour journeys to two waterfalls in Lihue: a 60-foot Papakolea Falls and a 30-foot Bamboo Falls. A waterfall rappel option includes safety instruction, a practice run, and refreshments while descending near the same waterfalls. Beach comfort is offered through one-day rentals of two lounge chairs and an umbrella, available daily from 10:00 AM to 5:45 PM.
Each experience emphasizes safety, instruction, and hands-on guidance from local guides familiar with Kauai waters and trails. Reservations and daily availability are offered for several activities. The business focuses on accessible experiences for beginners and visitors wanting guided, small-group or private options. Booking is available for individuals, families, and small groups looking for memorable day trips, beginner instruction, or guided adventure experiences across Kauai and friendly staff.
