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.

We booked the Secret Island and Catamaran Tour. Our guide (I wrote his name but I can’t find it) was excellent. Our first stop was the 800-year-old Hawaiian fishpond. Here we were able to touch a jellyfish and saw baby sea horses. Known as Moli’I, the fishpond is the largest on Oahu and is one of four on the entire island. In the “Lost” series, the pond is where the submarines came and from the island. We walked a pathway to the secret island beach. Onboard a catamaran for the second part of the tour, our guide provided an overview of the area and then we were free to either sit on the shaded first level or to go on top for better panoramic views. Some of us saw sea turtles as we sailed the ocean to Chinaman’s Hat and back. This tour may be too laid back for adventure seekers, but we found it to be relaxing, informative, and enjoyable.
