Useful Information
Kayaking, Oahu
Once completing your instruction for your Oahu kayak adventure, you’ll paddle along the tranquil and glassy waters of Kaneohe Bay. Due to the protected reef surrounding the area, this is one of the safest places for kayaking on Oahu.
Your journey by kayak along Kualoa, listed on the National Register of Historical Places, takes you past Mokoli'i Island to the 800-year old Molii fishpond (one of the last ancient Hawaiian fishponds). This rock-walled enclosure was hand-built by ancient Hawaiians to maintain a ready supply of live ocean fish. As part of the privately- owned Kualoa Ranch, you will have the rare opportunity to experience an ancient Hawaiian treasure that most visitors to Oahu never get to see.
As your kayak glides along the tranquil coast line of Kaneoohe Bay, your adventure includes an exclusive visit to Oahu’s hidden gem known as "Secret Island". This secluded beach in the country becomes your playground for relaxation, enjoyment and a picnic lunch. Whether you want to relax in a hammock, take a stroll around the island, or return to the ocean for a quick canoe ride, you’re certain not to want to leave.

A great and inexpensive way to see a beautiful part of the island. Our tour guide was awesome and very calm throughout the whole trip. The fact that this trip is a three-for-one is FANTASTIC. Snorkeling, Kayaking and Hiking, you can't get much better than that... plus lunch! Highly recommend this.

This trip was fantastic. The view from Chinaman's Hut of O'ahu was spectacular. The walk was an easy 5-10 minute walk. The kayak was more physically demanding and I wouldn't recommend it if your fitness levels are very low. Overall one of the best things we did in O'ahu. I Highly recommend it.
