What To Expect

Get outfitted with your life jacket, snorkel gear, dry bag and kayaks. Then head out to the beach to start your kayaking adventure! We are located within a 5 min walk of Kailua Beach Park. Your adventure starts and finishes here. We have been in business since 1982, providing sustainable eco-tours in once of the most stunning bays in the world. Kailua Beach Adventures has been recognized three times for having the Eco Tour Guide of the Year for the State of Hawaii.

Kailua Beach Park

Kailua Beach is where we launch our kayaks and land upon return. Its well known for being one of the most family friendly beaches on Oahu.

Lanikai Beach

Paddle along Lanikai Beach, one of the top rated beaches in the world, famed for its soft white sand, turquoise water and great snorkeling.

Mokulua Islands

(*If Self-Guided, the itinerary is flexible.) The final destination is Moku Nui of the famed Twin Islands. This is a bird nesting sanctuary that requires special permission to visit. Hawaiian monk seals are often basking on the beach and sea turtles feed on the coral reefs around the islands. Start off with a short hike to Queen's Bath tide pool and take the plunge into a salt water jacuzzi with a view. Hike back and go for a snorkel, searching for our sea turtle friends and schools of tropical fish. After this you've certainly earned your lunch so we break out a picnic and munch while watching the waves and the incredible view of the Ko'Olau Mountains. Native sea birds cruise overhead and your guide's tell the tales of Hawaiian explorers that traveled these waters.

Awesome experience!!!! Brian gave us an orientation to the kayaks and then we launched the kayaks off Kailua Beach and set off for the Moke’s. We ranged in age from 25-70, and had some previous river/lake kayak experience. We were so glad we did the guided tour so that Brian could guide us on dealing with waves, avoiding reef, and he really helped us with the landing on the island. He led us on a fabulous short walk, pointing out birds, crabs, and we even spotted a whale in the distance. We had high hopes and expectations for the day—and the tour met and exceeded them.

Excellent adventure! 5 hours well spent with our knowledgeable guide, Tupre. Unfortunately they had to cancel my original booking due to weather. They were proactive in reaching out and offering rescheduling options.
