My wife and I will be staying at a condo in Napili (west Maui) the end of January for a week and would like to rent kayaks (two singles) for the week. The place we’re staying at is right on the ocean and it would be fun to be able to kayak around whenever we want right from our place.

Is there anywhere in Maui that will rent for a week, deliver and pickup at the condo?

I made some phone calls and found one company who currently says will deliver for a $50 charge: South Pacific Kayaks. (Call to confirm this as things change).

They indicated they might not charge if you were closer to their location, so maybe call around or inquire when you get to your hotel or rental and see if there is anything closer.

As a last resort, consider getting a two seater single kayak and strapping it on to the roof of your rental if you have one. They aren’t any harder to steer, and one person can easily paddle it by themselves. I have one and I take it out alone all the time. It can be heavier but that doesn’t matter once you get it in the water. :)

Have a great time!!

We are visiting Maui in late July. We will stay near the airport for one night and the following morning depart for Hana for seven nights. We want to have a kayak for Hana Bay. However, there is only one kayak tour operator in Hana, and he doesn’t rent kayaks for the week. We would like to just get a rental car with surf racks and strap the kayak to the top. Can you suggest a good kayak rental place? I haven’t had much luck looking online. Thanks.

Well, I didn’t have much luck either. South Pacific Kayaks will rent you a kayak but they are in Makena: It sounds like you will be in Kahului and Makena is a good 40 minutes from there. Here’s a place in Kihei which is closer: http://www.bigkahunaadventures.com/kayaks.html but I couldn’t find anything in Kahului. Good luck!
