About

And they’re all set up right on the water’s edge, ready to go! No need to drag, carry, or drive your kayak anywhere!
When you check in at He’eia State Park’s office located in the main banquet hall building, our staff will show you to your kayak on our waterfront. We’ll also give you a personalized safety and instructional briefing with your waterproof map of the bay so you will know before you go, and be ready for a safe, fun paddling and snorkeling adventure. We’ll show you how to get to the famous Kane’ohe Sandbar, as well as many other pristine, hidden patch reefs that offer amazing snorkeling away from the crowds!
