What a wonderful experience we had with Paddle Kauai! Walt was friendly, flexible, and a great communicator. We opted to wheel the kayaks down the street to the launch with the equipment offered, and that worked quite well. Walt gave great instructions to our group and provided a map of our kayaking trip. When we lost one life jacket and paid to replace it, Walt issued a refund when someone else turned it in the next day. We appreciate honest business owners and will rent from them again when we come back.

Ben and his dad were incredibly helpful and kind! The quality of the gear was great; it was super easy to attach the wheels and walk the kayak to the river from their store. The journey was 10/10! The wife and I loved the paddle, hike, and incredible waterfall. Everything is super intuitive and was pure beauty. Thanks paddle Kauai!

We had such a great time kayaking and felt well taken care of the entire time. Would definitely recommend them to anyone visiting Kauai!
