Shaka Kayaks is committed to using the latest, safest and most comfortable equipment so you won't have to worry about anything but enjoying yourself on the tour. Shaka Kayaks is the only eco-kayak tour company in Hawai'i featuring the brand new Peekaboo™ from Ocean Kayak. These unique kayaks not only allow a stable platform for above water viewing but also offer an incredible window to see what is below water too.
Kayaks
Shaka Kayaks offers you a choice of two types of kayaks from Ocean Kayak, the world's biggest maker of sit-on-top kayaks. Our single kayaks all feature the new Peekaboo™ windows. For those who want to share their kayaking experience we offer the double kayak Malibu Two XL, the planet's most popular kayak.

Paddles
Ocean Kayak recommends and Shaka Kayaks uses the
Carlisle Day Tripper
paddle for it's light weight, ease of use and adjustability.
Life vests
At Shaka Kayaks our first concern is always
safety. We use Stearns 4
buckle adjustable life vests that are all
USCG approved and equipped with a safety whistle and personal rescue beacon
light. These jackets are specially designed to allow freedom of use for your arms that is required in
kayak paddling. Your guide will match you with a proper size and adjust
them prior to kayaking to ensure a snug but comfortable fit.
*Tour Tip: Proper fit is tight over your bellybutton and
looser around your chest.*
