About Kailua Beach Adventures - Self Guided Stand Up Paddle
Paddle Kailua Bay on a self-guided SUP adventure with board, paddle, leash, cart, lunch, snorkel gear, lockers and island landing permits included.
Launch a stable paddleboard from the white sand of Kailua Beach and chart your own course across turquoise water. Hug the shoreline, glide out to offshore islets or follow the quiet canal that winds to Enchanted Lake. Keep your eyes peeled for green sea turtles and colorful reef fish that frequent the bay's coral heads—wildlife sightings are common in these clear shallows.
