Clear Bottom Kayak Rentals. What better eco friendly way to enjoy the sights of beautiful Kailua Kona, both above and below the water? We offer the only ocean safe Clear Bottom Kayak rentals on the Big Island! Visit our eco-friendly Gift Shop. With the desire to offer Clear Bottom Kayaks to our island visitors, came a bigger responsibility to keep our ocean healthy. Thus, the idea of our gift shop was born. All products carried in the shop are either made from recycled material, a re-usable replacement for common disposable plastic items, or purchased from a company who gives back to marine conservation. A portion of all our profits are given to the Kahalu’u Bay Education Center. We are authorized distributors of Sand Cloud & Upcycle HI.
