A family business with aloha spirit

Started by two former school teachers and their five children, Akamai grew from a single van into a mini fleet. We treat every guest like family and go the extra mile to make sure your Kauai experience is unforgettable. With over 8 years of island life between us, we know Kauai inside and out.

Plus, we offer beach gear, baby equipment, and kid essentials so you can travel light and still have everything you need.

Exploring Kauai

Kauai is the Garden Isle—small but packed with incredible things to see and do. Here are a few tips to make the most of your visit:

Choose the right vehicle

You'll want an SUV. Cruising the South Shore? A sedan works great. We can help you pick the perfect ride for your plans.

Ask us for recommendations

We've lived on Kauai for years and know the best beaches, restaurants, and hidden gems. Just ask—we love sharing our island with visitors!

Book your extras ahead

Select 'add-extras' at checkout to have beach gear, kid supplies, or a cooler waiting in your vehicle at pickup.

Plan for the weather

Kauai's North Shore gets more rain, while the South Shore is sunnier. Pack layers and a light rain jacket for the best experience.
