Kayaking the Big Hawaiian Island
from: Maxx Adventure TravelKayaking the Big Island simply refers to kayaking adventures around Hawaii. While Hawaii is known for its white sandy beaches, emerald-green waters, active volcanoes, and tropical plants, it's also the perfect area for kayaking. The Big Island provides opportunities for everyone to enjoy kayaking, regardless of your age or ability. You can paddle through either extreme or tranquil waters, both of which provide an fabulous glimpse at some of Hawaii's wildlife and beautiful scenery. The common places for kayaking around the Big Island are Kauai, Oahu, and Maui.
Kauai is sometimes referred to as "the emerald island," and for very good reason. Not only is it one of the most beautiful Hawaiian islands, Kauai has some of the most stunning and active rainforests known to Hawaii. The waterfall terrain along the Na Pali coast provides excellent photography opportunities for those kayaking the Big Island.
These waterfalls gently flow into the ocean and set the ultimate conditions for kayaking. Keep your eyes peeled for sights of Hawaiian wildlife along the coast, such as sea lions and other manatee. You may even want to consider snorkeling in this area of the Big Island, as you will find beautiful tropical fish swimming beneath the surface.
The island of Oahu is the most populated of the Big Island and serves as an ideal location for calm kayaking. Along the west coast of Oahu, you will find dolphin activity on a daily basis. Here, you will be given the chance to dock your kayak and swim with these amazing aquatic creatures. Also in this area is the infamous Pearl Harbor. Feel free to take pictures and video tape this historic battle site as you kayak around the Big Island. Oahu is also known on the Big Island as a great spot to scuba dive, so be sure to take advantage of all the opportunities Oahu has to offer.
Although the island of Maui is only forty-eight miles long, it is one of the most famous places of the Big Island. It's often referred to "Valley Isle" because of the massive valley between its two volcanoes. The shoreline of Maui provides some great kayaking and is most popular for whale-watching. Kayaking in this area of the Big Island is sure to bring you up close and personal with the humpback whales that inhibit the Hawaiian Island.
It's recommended that you kayak in the early morning hours to see the whales since the waters surrounding Maui are typically rough and not as easily navigable. Therefore, you should go on a guided tour to kayak this area of the Big Island to help ensure your safety.
The Big Island is full of kayak opportunities as well as scuba diving, snorkeling, cliff jumping, and many other thrilling water activities. If you ever plan to visit Hawaii, kayaking is your best bet to seeing all of the beauty and wonders of the Big Island.
