Overview

This 5.5-hour kayak and snorkel tour in Kailua Bay, Oahu, suits those wanting a small-group or self-guided outdoor activity. Participants paddle from Kailua Beach Park toward the Mokulua Islands or Popoia Island (Flat Island), visiting bird sanctuaries and marine life habitats. The tour includes use of kayaks, snorkel gear, dry bags, lockers, and showers. A professional guide is available if selected, providing a safety briefing and route instructions before departure. After launching from Kailua Beach Park, paddlers head to Lanikai Beach, where they can snorkel and swim in clear waters. The trip continues to Moku Nui, one of the Twin Islands with restricted access, known for bird nesting and Hawaiian monk seals resting on the shore. Guests hike briefly to Queen's Bath tide pool, then snorkel to observe sea turtles and tropical fish. The tour includes a picnic lunch by the beach with views of the Ko'Olau Mountains. Parking is free at the operator’s lot, and lockers are assigned to store valuables during the activity. The itinerary is flexible for self-guided participants.
