As we paddle towards Moku Nui, a designated bird sanctuary, we will provide permits for this adventure. Be sure to reserve your spot in advance, as availability is limited. During this 5-hour journey, you’ll encounter a vibrant array of wildlife, including sea turtles, Hawaiian monk seals, tropical fish, and sea birds.

Adventurers can be dropped off directly at our storefront as there is no need for a car for this adventure. We will equip you with E-Bikes to send you on your way to take a scenic 20 minute bike ride to the kayak launching area. Once you arrive, your guide will direct you on how to get in and out of your kayak safely and how to paddle effectively. If you’re feeling adventurous, you may be able to stop at Popoia island on the way to Moku Nui as well as stop at Lanikai beach to snorkel, just ask your guide. On the way out to the Mokes your guide will explain the local cultural and historical significance of these islands as well as the animal life that call them home. Maybe even seeing a sea turtle or a monk seal.

Once on Moku Nui Island your guide will help you explore and hike around, visiting queen’s bath and its surrounding tidepools and possibly the back side of the island if the weather permits.
