Overview

Explore the Mokolua Islands on this adventurous self-guided tour. The island is a seabird sanctuary and the beach is also a resting spot for monk seals. You will get the opportunity to see native wildlife and maybe a sea turtle or two as you paddle out to the islet. Kayaking out to the larger island Moku Nui from Kailua Beach is for the more adventurous and can take over an hour which gives you a good opportunity to see lots of turtles and flying fish. For the short walk on the island be sure to bring some shoes or sandals to protect your feet if they are not used to the rough lava. Experience swimming in the queens bath, an eight-foot deep ocean water swimming hole on the backside of Moku Nui. This is the best self-guided kayak tour in Kailua, something you do not want to miss!
