This excursion offers a unique blend of sea kayaking across the tranquil, azure waters of Kailua Bay, enhanced by the rich marine life and vibrant coral reefs. Paddle out from the soft sands of Kailua Beach to these iconic islets, where adventure awaits both on water and land.

Start at 134B Hamakua Dr., Kailua, HI, where you'll gear up with everything needed for a safe and enjoyable trip. The provided tandem kayaks, complete with life vests, seat backs, and paddles, are perfect for pairs looking to explore together. Navigate through the ocean, guarded by a sprawling coral reef, to reach the serene Mokulua Nui—a protected bird sanctuary that also frequently hosts sea turtles and monk seals. This tour not only promises spectacular views of Oahu’s Windward Coast but also an intimate encounter with nature at its most pristine.
