Very friendly and helpful people. They helped with the sizing of snorkel gear for my son and gave some good recommendations on where to go for beginners. I highly recommend! read more

Mike and Janie were great in helping my son and I pick out gear for spearfishing. Prices are good and the gear quality is terrific. I look forward to visiting their shop again when we get back to Kauai. read more

This is the best dive shop on Kauai. Their prices are great, much better than other shops. Their service was spectacular! We went in for a dive knife and a speargun. The owner was very helpful and didn't make us feel like dummies for not knowing a thing about spearfishing. All in all they where great! And they have a beautiful pup! read more

The staff are terrific and they have a great selection of gear to buy or rent. If you're staying on this side of the island, I highly recommend you check them out! read more

Straight forward pricing, family run and friendly people. So many businesses to rent from in the area and after much research we decided to rent here. That decision was a very smart choice. They have a few parking places in front of the store and there is street parking as well. Parking could be a slight challenge in busier times but still worth the minor challenge. We only rented bicycles but I did look at some of the other rental gear. Just like it has been mentioned, they rent quality equipment and not tiered levels and varying prices. We will be back without question! Thank you for exemplary service! read more

Full service snorkel rental help, he was genuinely happy to help us. Good rental prices too.

Super nice owner who refunded us the rental fee for our one day snorkel fee. We didn't know there was a brown water alert as we left the shop however the owner was nice enough to refund us for the snorkel fee when we returned it. I will definitely come back to this shop again the next time I am in Kauai. read more

The two behind the counter were very helpful! They even have a chill doggo that helps keep the place in order. Prices were right, bike trail behind the store was just lovely. Great value for a couple beautiful hours on a beachside bike ride. Better than Snorkle Bob's. read more

We came here for snorkel gear and the couple that owns thus place were so very friendly and helpful. The prices were very very reasonable.

I was out in Kauai for 8 days for a work trip- we were out there shooting for our Spring Catalog (we're on online retailer) and needed some gear to for a specific photo our team was hoping to rent. I called around several places and was turned down by all of them except for Kapaa Beach Shop. Mike and Janie really went above and beyond to help us get the gear we needed and saved the day! Couldn't recommend this place more for it's genuine customer service! read more

Great place for beach rentals! We rented snorkel sets including mask, goggles, and fins for $6/day ($15/week). The owner was really friendly and helped us fit them correctly. Also rented a Johnny Bahama chair which was quite nice and includes cup holders, built in pockets, a towel rack, and backpack straps. Totally worth it for $5/day (I don't remember the weekly rate but I'm sure it's a great deal). Return times are flexible and they won't go after you if you're a few hours behind schedule. They also rent a ton more stuff. Will definitely recommend to others. read more

Wonderful service and great prices. We only had an afternoon to try and catch some sights and we were able to get great, clean, perfect fitting gear and a bunch of suggestions on where to go. Even though it was close to sunset, we were able to make it to the suggested beach, catch a quick snorkel and see a whole load of beautiful fish, and it didn't even cost over $15 for two. Would absolutely come back if I get to return for scuba! read more

Rented bikes from here because they open early. Bikes were in great shape and owner was very helpful.

Great little shop. We had a fun time renting bikes and riding up the coast. They even had a pull behind for our little one.

So glad I skipped the other two shops down the street to come here. I had a brand new snorkel from home that kept taking on water so I figured I'd buy a new one. Mike carefully looked at my snorkel and gave me his expert opinion and detailed instructions on how to clean it and saved me from buying a new one! I ended up renting one from him for a mere $3/day in case my cleaning didn't work and found out his rentals are from 9 am to 5 pm THE NEXT DAY! Mike did it all with a huge smile and genuine helpfulness. Was all smiles the next day when I returned the rental too. Thank you so much for your aloha spirit! Much appreciated by this Phoenix girl. read more

I first came here on a recommend from a family member and am glad I did. Mike completely outfitted me, my son, and my brother. He answered all of our questions with patience and humility. What solidified me as a repeat customer was the honesty of Mike and Janie. Mike was honest in his explanation of every piece of gear, what we needed, and what we didn't. He could've easily made a sale by making a recommend, but had integrity by recommending gear which was appropriate for what we needed. Mike also shared little tips and tricks to assist us in our venture. I highly recommend the Kauai Beach Shop as a place to spend your money as you will be dealing with your owners who care about their customers and have a high level of integrity read more

Great spot to get your rentals! Super friendly and best prices around. They even had snorkel gear for my little ones. Will definitely be back on my next trip in June for more gear!! read more

We saw this place in passing when looking for bike rentals. Loved that they had store front parking and went for it. So glad we did! The owner is so down to earth sand helpful. Fair prices and don't scam you into things you don't need. read more

Yeah, Mike knows his stuff. Just what ya need, when you need it and at great prices. $10/2 hrs bike rental, $7 quality visors, etc. No hype, no tourist trap.....saw locals chatting him up and picking up gear! Rare, real value experience on Kauai! read more

Definitely stop here to rent your beach chairs and beach umbrellas. Good Tommy Bahama brands and decent prices. While we didn't rent any other equipment, they seemed to offer anything you need for your vacation at the beach. Very friendly too. read more

Over a 2 week period in June of 2014 my son, his pal Chris and myself rented and purchased all sorts of gear from this shop: boogie boards, bicycles, swim fins, scuba tanks, dive masks, etc. All the gear is in very good condition and well-maintained. Their prices are very competitive (you won't find lower prices for quality gear on Kauai, period). Additionally, Mike and his wife were extraordinarily helpful in providing us with information on the best places to boogie board, snorkel, eat, scuba dive, etc., etc. They're just plain quality people and go out of their way to help you make the most of your time on Kauai. read more

Love this place! It's so easy to pick beach stuff up and drop them off after hours. The owners are so nice!! I shopped around and this is the most reasonable place to get beach/snorkel gear. read more

My wife and I were looking for a place to rent snorkel gear that wasn't Snorkel Bob's (or any of the other chain stores) - and picked this place based on the Yelp! reviews. Mike (the owner) got our gear together- then recommended five or six places to snorkel based on the weather they were having... and I can't tell you how valuable that was. Hawaii is beautiful. It's wild and it's amazing. It will also kill you if you don't know what you are doing... so having a local who had assessed the conditions and told us where to go based on what we wanted to see and where the visibility would be best was invaluable. read more

Worked with Mike and he helped us pick out a couple cruisers to ride the bike path which is directly behind the shop. We only ended up doing about an hour (possibly slightly over) and he gave us the hour rate of $10 for 2 bikes and a lock! The bike path has really nice views and a nice breeze from the ocean. We drove 45 mins to get here and found it worth the time, something fun and scenic to do. Plenty of places to stop along the way and enjoy the beautiful ocean views and snag some great pics. read more

My husband and I visited Kauai in April of 2012 and rented both snorkels and bikes from Kapa'a Beach Shop. They were really friendly and helpful and had great prices to boot. We rode our bikes down the bike path on two different days because it was so much fun. Renting a snorkel set for the week we were there was such a great idea - we just threw it in the trunk and grabbed it whenever the water looked good for snorkeling. Saw tons of fish and turtles. Bottom line: great customer service, excellent prices, would highly recommend. read more

This place has friendly staff and good prices, but many of the bikes are severely lacking in maintenance. Exchanged three bikes over 24 hours. First bike had a loose bolt clamp for the seat that would drop mid-ride. Exchanged this for another bike which had loose handlebars. The third bike lost the stripped bolt holding the pedal arm. Bike fell apart two miles into my ride. Had to walk the broken bike home and return the following day. Be careful of the equipment that you checkout. read more

This is THE shop to frequent for sure! We've used them the last two times we've been to Kauai. Great quality chairs, umbrellas, snorkeling equipment and boogie boards. Michael, the owner, goes to great lengths to make sure you're happy. He runs his business with much integrity and aloha! I highly recommend using this "local" shop above any of the chains, and you won't be disappointed! Maholo, Michael; you made our stay very comfortable! Many blessings. read more

Came in for new goggles. The woman at the counter was super knowledgeable and helpful. I would send my mom there if she needed and dive gear. read more

My husband and I spent the week in Kapaa last week and after looking at a couple other shops who wanted to charge outrageous prices we luckily found Kapaa beach shop!! We rented 2 boogie boards and 2 snorkel sets for the whole week for $62 bucks! The gear was comfortable and we even got to choose between 2 different kinds of fins. We got to snorkel everyday that we were there! Clean quality gear and great prices what more could you ask for!! Mahalo!! read more

The owners are so cool, awesome to talk to and their German Shepard, Chaos, is adorable. 10/10 good boi. They had everything we needed and at very reasonable prices, we would highly suggest making your way to this shop for information, rentals, or equipment purchases. read more

Skip the other 2 "big operations" and go straight to Mike. He was genuine and took the time to make sure everything fit right and the kids understood how to put everything on. $15/week for a full snorkel setup is an awesome deal and it is really good gear... not the crappy stuff that they try to bait and switch you to pay $40/week for the "good gear" with at the other 2 operations in town. Another big plus is mike does not try to cram timeshares down your throat the entire time, like S.B's and B.F's. read more

We rented beach chairs and an umbrella from this shop to use for the week. The price....$10.00 for each chair and $5.00 for the umbrella for a whole week was great. The guy who helped us was so friendly. We definitely recommend this shop to everyone. read more

Got there right after they opened. Real nice guy gave us the run down on the trail. We rode around on the trail taking in the sights for a couple hours. Can't beat the price or location read more

Really happy with the beach shop. Mike is an expert and really helped us to find the perfect snorkel spots. We had two people that needed prescription snorkel mask and he had the perfect fit. We also got 2 chairs to enjoy at the beach very happy with the shop. Great price for a week worth of snorkel gear! read more

This is the best place on the island to rent snorkel and scuba equipment!! So friendly and knowledgeable and the prices can't be beat!!! I felt compelled to write this and I'm not even out of their parking space yet. SO NICE!!!! read more

$10 to rent a nice 3-speed beach cruiser for the day with a bike lock. They tossed in baskets as well. There is plenty of parking near the public pool and park off of Kou St... Walk past the coconut cruisers and Chicken in a Barrel. The location is near the center of the 5-mile long beach ped/bike path. This has some great views of the coconut coast. They were really friendly. Check in and out was fast and painless. read more

Excellent service and excellent equipment rental for great price. we rented 2 sets of snorkeling gear/ 2 chairs/ umbrella for a week ~$50 Didn't have any issue with any of their gear. Highly recommend this place! read more

I was looking to rent a beach umbrella during my vacation. Snorkel Bob's doesn't rent out beach umbrellas but Kapa'a Beach Shop does! I also compared snorkeling rental prices with Snorkel Bob's and Kapa'a Beach Shop was cheaper. The lady who helped me was very kind and suggested great snorkeling and beach locations. I paid $30 for snorkeling gear for 2 and a beach umbrella for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. read more

We were referred to this shop by another couple staying at our hotel. Last year in Maui we rented snorkel gear from Bob's ... or whatever that chain is called. Their coupon said $9 for the week but that was for terrible year and once upgraded it was quite a bit more. This place was $15 for the week per set and they were quality sets! They also rent umbrellas which was great for my fair mainland skin ;) The owner was VERY informative on areas to snorkel on the island & I really loved that we were supporting a local 1 man business. I fully intend to visit Kauai and this business again. Highly recommend for a great experience! read more

Amazing service and even better pricing! I actually came from the bike rental place next door. They charged $18 for a single cruiser while KBS rented TWO 3 speed cruisers for $15.60. The counter lady even let me borrow baskets and a bike lock. Definitely the better choice and I'm already planning my second visit. read more
