What To Expect

Kailua Beach Park

Embark on a 2 hour guided tour close off beautiful Kailua Beach on a Wa’a (Hawaiian canoe) to explore Popoi’a Island, an offshore Island with a rich history to our fishing community in the Hawaiian Kingdom days. Experience the thrill of the Hawaiian roller coaster, canoe surfing the waves right off the island or take a swim through the reefs exploring the native fishes that inhabit the coastline. Learn about the wa'a (canoe), history, and cultural of the people of Hawaii, as well as the proper Hawaiian paddling technique. Discover the rich history of Kailua as we tell the mo'olelo (stories) of Kailua and the Ko'olaupoko district, from the discovery of the Hawaiian Islands to the Hawaiian Kingdom Days to post World War II Hawaii. You will experience first hand the history and life of Kailua! Relax and explore Popoi'a Island while learning about the ecosystems that inhabits it from Native Plants and Native bird species such as the Ua'u Kani. Enjoy the perfect, picturesque views of the windward side such as the Ko'olau range and Ulupa'u crater or jump in the water and snorkel with some native fish and Honu (sea turtles)!

Soaking in Queen’s Bath was one of the top 5 experiences of my lifetime. It was like a dream floating in the spiritual pool. I felt weightless in the saltwater. Our tour guides were very informative about the endangered birds that are endemic to Na Mokulua. We also learned about the language, history and culture of Hawai’i. This was the best day of our trip hands down. We saw 4 turtles along our journey to the island. Since we were on the sailing canoe, we were able to take advantage of the wind and only paddle a little bit. I felt safe in their hands. Plus, their stories of life in Oahu are unforgettable. If you want to learn about the culture, while having a laugh and enjoying the beautiful view in the ocean, I highly recommend taking this tour.

I'll echo the other low star reviewers in saying the customer service of this company is inconsiderate at best, dismissive and dangerous at worst. Here's what happened: Nowhere on the trip information does it say you will be requires to share your numerical weight or that there is a weight limit for passengers. Their staff member Kelly asked for it in DM after I booked. When I told Kelly it's triggering for me to know or share my weight because of an eating disorder, and asked if she could go by size instead, she immediately cancelled the whole trip and refused to message me back after that. She could have just said "I'm so sorry, we do need a weight for insurance purposes, we'll do everything we can to make you feel comfortable." She said none of that – she cancelled and ghosted the second I asked for even mild accommodation. I and others in my party also tried calling and they never got back to us. I'm not usually an "angry Yelp review" person, but the lack of consideration plus the lack of communication warrants it. Only book this trip if you want to lose a day of your vacation to confusion and shame.

I had a fantastic time with the canoeing to Moku Nui island with Kailua Ocean Adventures, and guides John and Jameson. The weather was perfect and John was funny, sharing his stories as a local. It was my first time in an outrigger canoe and I enjoyed it as much as I do paddle boarding and kayaking. No paddling experience needed and yes, you will get wet! Highly recommend for a uniquely Hawaiian experience.
