What To Expect

Kualoa Ranch

Make your own way to the scenic northern coast of Oahu to arrive at Kualoa Ranch. Your tour starts with a short ride across Moli’i Fishpond, an ancient Hawaiian pond in use more than 800 years ago to supply local villages with fish. As you glide across the 125-acre (50-hectare) fishpond, learn about traditional aquaculture practices in Hawaii.

Kane'ohe Bay

On the other side of the fishpond, arrive at Secret Island where your spacious catamaran awaits to take you on your 30-45 minute ocean cruise. The remains of the prehistoric Ko’olau volcano formed Kaneohe Bay, the Ko’olau mountains and Mokoli’i Island. The eye-catching scenery has served as the backdrop for Hollywood films including Pirates of the Caribbean 4, Pearl Harbor and 50 First Dates.

Mokoli’i Island

Set out on the turquoise waters of Kaneohe Bay, soaking in incredible views of Mokoli’i Island as you cruise. Pass Hokule'a Beach, a stunning white-sand paradise that is also home to the first modern replica of an ancient Hawaiian sailing boat. Admire the striking sight of the Ko’olau Mountains rising up in jagged green peaks behind the shimmering bay.

Kualoa Regional Park

While the fresh ocean breeze keeps you cool, hear lively historical narration and get great photo ops during your scenic cruise. You can enjoy a fantastic perspective on north Oahu’s coastline from the large viewing deck of your catamaran. You are returned to your starting point after the ocean cruise to conclude your tour.

Such a treat! While looking for things to do while on vacation, we wanted to make sure our 16 year old could experience a variety of things. Found this tour and ended up booking two different activities at the Ranch for our family of 3. So glad we visited, Charlie was our guide from the start. We loaded the bus and then did a quick relaxing ride across the pond before getting on to our ocean voyage. My son and the other kids onboard really got a kick from getting splashed....wonderful day and I'm glad we found these fun and educational activities at the Ranch....even caught a glimpse of a sea turtle in the water. The entire voyage, scenery and weather....perfect!

I’m a local Oahu resident who loved the Ocean Adventure. It reminded me that the surrounding Kaawa Valley is one of the most - if not THE Most - beautiful areas on our island. If you like being out on the ocean in a safe environment, enjoy learning about traditional cultural practices, getting a few insider tips from your guide and want to capture stunning pictures from your trip book this tour! I look forward to returning. Mahalos to our guide Justin and Kualoa Ranch.
