About this tour
This guided kayak tour launches from the Wailoa boat ramp in Hilo and follows the calm, gentle waters of the Wailoa River, whose name means "long water" in Hawaiian. Paddlers glide beneath Japanese-style bridges and through overhanging tree branches while a guide shares stories about Hilo's history, including the ancient Hawaiian kingdom and the tsunamis that shaped the land. The route pauses near the King Kamehameha Statue and passes an arboretum with notable tree species.
The tour suits beginners and families, as the river moves at an easy pace with no demanding conditions. A kayak, paddles, safety gear, bottled water, and light snacks are all provided. The tour is weather dependent, so conditions may affect whether it runs on a given day. Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, water shoes or sandals, a towel, a dry change of clothes, and a camera or waterproof phone case. Minors must be accompanied by an adult.
