Overview
Glide through the calm and scenic waterways of Hilo on a guided kayak or stand-up paddleboard adventure along the beautiful Wailoa River. Known locally as “Loa,” meaning “long water,” this relaxing journey takes you through peaceful mangrove-lined channels and beneath striking Japanese-style dragon arches that reflect the area’s rich cultural heritage.
As you paddle through the gentle river system, your guide will share stories of Hilo’s history, local traditions, and the natural environment that surrounds the bayfront. Along the route, you’ll make your way toward the iconic King Kamehameha statue and the lush surrounding arboretum, where tropical greenery and native wildlife create a uniquely tranquil setting.
Keep an eye out for native Hawaiian birds, freshwater fish, and the serene beauty of the riverbanks as you explore this hidden side of Hilo. Depending on weather and ocean conditions, portions of the route may include light wind, tidal movement, or gentle current where the river meets Hilo Bay, adding a touch of adventure to the experience.
This tour is suitable for beginners and experienced paddlers alike and offers a memorable way to experience Hilo from the water. Please note that paddle splashes and occasional spray are part of the adventure, so expect to get wet during your tour.
