Wai Kai Lagoon Paddlecraft Rentals in Ewa Beach

Overview

Wai Kai lagoon rentals in Ewa Beach are 1-hour hires of surfskis, OC-1 and OC-6 outrigger canoes on the flat, enclosed Wai Kai lagoon, from about $33 with a life jacket included. They suit paddlers with some experience who want a calm workout near Ko Olina. The drawbacks are limited off-season hours and craft aimed at experienced paddlers.

Highlights

• Surfski $33.21, OC-1 $33.21, OC-6 (2 to 6 people) $44.28 per hour on Greetwell, October 2026; the listing mentions 5 options but shows 3.
• Off-season lagoon hours are Monday and Thursday to Sunday, 1:30 to 4:30 PM, closed Tuesday and Wednesday (operator hours page).
• Life jacket included and mandatory on the lagoon and dock; minimum age 4 and 30 lbs.
• Experience recommended for surfski and outrigger; the OC-6 needs a staff evaluation if you paddle without a steersman.
