Kauai Bound Snorkel and Golf Gear Rental

Open around 8-5 daily (with opening hours sometimes varying), the Kauai Bound Snorkel and Golf Gear Rental here on Kauai is a well-loved company. This family-owned and operated establishment goes above and beyond to ensure they have everything you need for a day out in the water, and they also guarantee that every piece of equipment is clean and well cared for. When you’re ready to adventure out of your Waipouli Beach Resort vacation rental, you can grab all you need for a day of snorkeling at Kauai Bound, including their unique offerings of underwater cameras!

Adult snorkel sets ($35 for the whole week or $9 for one day) are pretty popular here. In the set, you’ll find a dry snorkel of the Impulse 3 series, multiple-sized Crystal silicone masks (for everyone in your crew), some colored rubber fins that float effortlessly, a fish ID card, and a small bottle containing no-fog drops. Each set comes with a nifty mesh bag, which lets you quickly and comfortably carry the whole thing inside. For your child, you can easily get a child snorkel set ($25 for the entire week or $5.50 for one day), which offers the same mesh bag, silicone masks, and rubber fins mentioned (but in smaller sizes and capacity), along with a Sea Sport-branded dry snorkel. This snorkel comes with its mini bobber and a tiny mouthpiece, which is adjustable in size.   

Kauai Surf Rentals

Open 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday (or 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday), Kauai Surf Rentals has everything from soft-top surfboards to epoxy-friendly paddleboards. They offer beach gear, too, like standing umbrellas (to shade 2-3 people at once), Igloo coolers, Tommy Bahama beach chairs, and more. The main offerings are the surfboards, ideal for both beginners and seasoned pros alike. You can rent your board for as little as $30 for a day. They can either deliver it to you and load it atop your car, or you can pick it up from the location of their main operation. 

Rentals are available, ranging in length from one to six days. In addition to surfboards, you’ll also find paddleboards and bodyboards available for rent. Not sure which one to go with or which activity you’ll like best? The educated and friendly staff here will be happy to make some recommendations for you.

Snorkel Bobs

Snorkel Bobs is open Monday through Friday from 9-5 to help with any bookings or other questions. You can reserve snorkels, fins, floaties, boogie boards, wet suits, and even chairs here. You can rent parts individually or as entire packages (save more when you spend more by taking advantage of bulk rentals for larger groups). Their most common snorkel gear package here is the Ultimate Truth Package. The dive mask is notably quite soft and cozy as it rests up against your face and protects it. It offers ultra-flex pleasure, meaning you can move your face around in it easily; it’s not constrictive, as some other masks like this tend to be. 

Adults can rent out this package from $42-62/week, per adult (depending on the add-ons they add to the package). Children ages 12 and under can rent it for just $25/week. You can choose from either a Seamo, a Midmo, or a Seamo Betta mask with both packages. All packages come with a fish identification card and a quality snorkel, some no-fog goop, and a bag to hold everything in comfortably.
