If you are from out of town, definitely make time to support this local shop/brand. :)

Mike was a lifesaver and a total pleasure to deal with. It was my first time on the Garden Isle and…read moreI wasnt able to bring my bodyboard over from the mainland. All i brought with me were my swim fins and an extra bicep leash I had. I was looking for a legit bodyboard rental and the shops I had been to and/or the beach side rental shacks had boards that just werent up to par. I was down the road at Tamba buying tees and the guy there (thankfully) referred me to Kapaa Beach Shop when I asked if he knew of any places that had quality bodyboard rentals. He told me Mike at KBS rented Mike Stewart Science Bodyboards.... The look of shock on my face was probably photo worthy. I couldnt believe the type of place I had been looking for was just down the road. It was already my 2nd time in Kapaa by that point. Kapaa Beach Shop is on your right side along Kuhio Highway if you are coming from the Lihue area. It's right after Chicken in a Barrel BBQ. It has about 4 dedicated spaces out front in its gravel driveway. They rent everything from beach umbrellas, chairs, bicycles, diving and snorkeling gear... You name it. You need it for the beach, he has it. It was jamming with customers the both times I went there but Mike was gracious and helpful with all of us. I was able to rent a hybrid Mike Stewart Science bodyboard which I used at a few beaches on the island. It was great. Thick board with lots of float to it, making catching waves easier. It also came with a Gyroll bicep leash... It was like a setup I would gladly have every day back home. I'm thankful to Mike for the Aloha and just being super cool in providing a quality rental. We chatted it up a bit and you can tell he is legit and really knows his stuff. I HIGHLY recommend you go see Mike at Kapaa Beach Shop for all your beach rental needs. He is the man. Mahalos Mike!

This was my second time car camping in Kauai, but my first time renting with Kauai Rooftop Campers,…read moreand I can honestly say they made all the difference. Since we planned this trip last minute, finding campsites in the more remote areas was tough. Thankfully, KRC provides an excellent travel guide that not only lists camping spots but also gives insider tips on how to make the most of your trip. That guide was a lifesaver. It led us to Kumu Camp, which was perfect for our group of six, and even pointed us toward hidden gems like Anini Beach. Without it, we probably would have been stuck scrambling. The camper itself was fantastic. It was comfortable, well-equipped, and thoughtfully stocked with everything you need. What stood out most, though, was the team. Jonathan and his crew were communicative, flexible, and genuinely cared about making our experience unforgettable. When I wanted to extend my stay, they made it seamless. When I accidentally left a few belongings behind, they went out of their way to return them. That kind of service is rare. If you are considering car camping in Kauai, here are a couple of takeaways for success. Book early if you can because campsites do fill up, especially near the busier beaches. Make sure to use KRC's travel guide because it is full of reliable, local recommendations you will not find on Google. And most importantly, embrace flexibility because the best part of car camping here is the freedom to pivot plans and discover new places. Kauai Rooftop Campers does not just rent vehicles. They give you the keys to experience the island in a way that feels adventurous, authentic, and stress free. Highly recommend them for anyone wanting to see Kauai beyond the resorts.

Prepare to get wet - whether on the kayak, on the hike (we had stops at 2 different water holes), or on the boat ride back as you go into the trade winds. If you are looking for a zip-line centric tour there are other tours you should pick out side the "zip line safari". Our tour included 2 zip lines, so enough to fulfill the need to fly but not hours of zip-lines back-to-back. This tour is more about the kayak up the river and the hike through some beautiful, undisturbed nature.

The gentleman who pulled our bikes for us gave us further instructions on how to get to the bike path from their location. Rates are reasonable and the bikes we got were in good condition.

He shared so much interesting information about the island -- the vegetation, local history, the bridges and when they were built -- and did it all with a great sense of humor that kept everyone engaged and having fun. Samuel was also excellent at explaining exactly what to do, whether we were kayaking or getting ready to snorkel. He made sure everyone felt comfortable, safe, and taken care of. During the snorkeling portion, he actually guided us through the reef, pointing things out and making the experience feel personal rather than just sending us off on our own. What really stood out was how attentive he was to his group. You could tell he genuinely cared that everyone was having a great experience. Samuel is knowledgeable, professional, patient, funny, and simply fun to be around. He truly made our day and was a huge part of what made this tour so memorable. I would absolutely recommend requesting Samuel if you have the opportunity -- he represents customer service at its very best!

Not to heavy. Need to break them in. Next time I'll come back and get a western hat. They have a great selection on everything. I didn't browse the whole shop but I imagine everything is rather expensive.
