The kayaking in Kaneohe Bay is generally very mild with a constant breeze towards the shore. Conditions are best in the mornings. It's good for beginners. You will also have a great chance to check out the beautiful coral reef with the closest one only 15 minutes of paddling away from shore.
If you are looking for the best Oahu snorkeling adventure, this is it. You will paddle through the ocean over sunken coral islands in a bay sheltered by a barrier reef. You are free to snorkel or just view the reef from your kayak.
This experience is recommended for adventurous people that just need the right gear and direction to go. We provide everything you need to live your adventure.

Kayaking out the first reef, Kaneohe Bay’s Turtle Reef, only takes about 15 minutes. The water is nice and clear around the coral and the best viewing is usually on the edge of the underwater coral islands. From there, you have the choice to swim with the provided snorkel gear and floating kayak leash or keep padding around the reef. The other reefs are not too far north and south of you.
We conveniently provide a floating kayak leash so you can tow your kayaks behind you as you snorkel as opposed to dropping to a kayak anchor which can easily damage the reef; even when used by experienced professionals.
Adventure responsibly. The reef is beautiful, but don’t touch it. You will hurt it and it will hurt you. Coral reefs are sharp and highly abrasive to your skin. Cuts received from contact with coral often get infected because coral is alive, so keep your distance.
We are working hard on updating our website and making the necessary changes for our guests and we appreciate your patience during this transition. We look forward to providing you with an amazing kayaking experience!
