Paddle across the turquoise waters of Kailua Bay to the Mokulua Islands — twin seabird sanctuaries off Lanikai — on a guided small-group eco-kayak tour. A true bucket-list immersion in Oahu's most pristine coastal wilderness.
What to expect
Launch your kayak from the golden sands of Kailua Beach and stroke through glassy, reef-fringed waters toward the Moku Nui and Moku Iki islets. A knowledgeable guide reads the wind and tides, steering the group to hidden snorkel coves teeming with Hawaiian green sea turtles and reef fish. Land on Moku Nui's crescent beach — one of Oahu's most exclusive stretches of sand — before paddling back across the bay as the Ko'olau mountains glow in the afternoon light.
Good to know
Check-in from 8 AM; allow 3–4 hours for the full bay crossing. The operator is a 10-minute taxi/rideshare from the pier. Pre-book online as morning slots sell out. All-aboard times on Kailua port days are typically early afternoon — confirm with the ship and book the first departure slot.
