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)!

This was so fun! Our guide, Brandon, was super fun and laid back, had a wide variety of local knowledge and was happy to answer all of our questions! Our family of six paddled to the Mokes on an outrigger canoe and it was the perfect activity. Would do again in a heartbeat and recommend highly!! Thank you Brandon and Kailua Ocean Adventures!

BUYER BEWARE: the tour operator never showed up. I called the company from the meeting spot, and they said it was canceled to due high winds. They offered no apology nor offer to reschedule. My family was extremely disappointed and frustrated to have driven 1.5 hrs to the beach only to get stood up. Terrible.

I booked the 3hr canoe tour through Joe who is very friendly. Unfortunately, weather cancelled our original booking, but Joe and Kelly were great with keeping us informed, following up, and rescheduling our adventure. We met John on the beach and were pleasantly surprised to be the only ones there for the 0700 tour. He gave us some instructions on how to paddle and enter the canoe before setting off toward Moku Nui. John is an outstanding story teller and as a Hawaiian native, he was very knowledgeable about the history and folklore of the area. He also told us about the geology and fauna of the island as we hiked around and visited the Queen’s Bath and other tide pools which we had all to ourselves at that hour. When we returned to the canoe, Wailea, one of the endangered resident Hawaiian Monk seals was sleeping right by our canoe. What a treat! As if that weren’t enough, we also enjoyed catching a couple of waves during this tour for a bit of an adrenaline rush. It was a perfect morning. Great tour full of beautiful sights and a good morning workout. Highly recommend!
