Collect marine plastics on the offshore islands and learn how to positively interact with local wildlife. Fit for adventurers 13 and up; Includes Snorkeling and Lunch. The authentic Kailua kayak tour (5-Hours) will have you understanding what all of the fuss is about. This is our recommended tour for athletic or experienced kayakers to get to see all of what Kailua has to offer including the Mokulua "Twin" Islands sea-bird sanctuary and Lanikai’s picturesque white-sand beach. Snorkel with your guide in the live coral reef inside Kailua’s turtle feeding grounds and enjoy our island paradise.
Start your adventure at Kailua Beach Adventures! Our pre-trip training will include meeting the guests, a quick lesson and getting outfitted with your kayak and snorkel gear.
We launch our adventure from Kailua Beach under the palms, and the sea-turtle search is on! Passing a small island on the left, you will start to see the final destination on the horizon.
Paddling along Lanikai Beach you weave through the coral gardens in the more turquoise waters in Hawaii. Snorkeling with turtles is a common treat with the sun warming the shallow waters.
Landing at the Mokulua Islands is a special experience limited to permit holders (that's you!). This wildlife sanctuary offers refuge to Hawaiian seabirds and endangered Hawaiian Monk Seals. Our guide/naturalists assist in protecting these creatures and you will be a part of those efforts. Hike through the volcanic sculptures to find Queen's Bath, a hidden tide pool that begs for a relaxing dip. Enjoy a picnic lunch of deli-fresh sandwiches while guides reveal the wild secrets of the island's formation.

We did the Twin Island Kayak tour, and the trip was great! We had a lot of fun. The guide was knowledgeable and helpful. I thought the tour left plenty of time for seeing the Moke island on which we stopped as well as snorkeling, and we were really happy!
Wesley was a great guide and we really had a good time. Recommend it to anyone.
Such a good experience, we got to see the baby monk seal and its mom and learned a lot about the island. Getting to swim in the queens bath topped off the whole experience. Definitely recommend!
We are happy to hear you saw a monk seal on your tour! Thank you for booking with us, and we hope to see you again!
Fantastic experience. Wesley was great. Friendly and very knowledgeable.
Awesome to hear that you enjoyed your tour with Wesley!
One of the highlights of our trip! Beautiful clear water with sweeping views of the mountains and small islands. We saw a monk seal mom and her pup on the island as well as a sea turtle while snorkeling. Mike made sure we felt safe and well taken care of during a sometimes strenuous paddle - 4 miles round trip —but was well worth the secluded beach on the island, wildlife sightings, and tour of the island led by Mike where we saw volcanic rock pools, baby birds, and native plants. Very informational and beautiful!
I wanted to go to Kailua and Lanikai Beach for the first time, so I participated. I didn't know what it would be like, but I felt relieved that you responded in Japanese from the time of pickup. Emi-san and Natsue-san were very bright and friendly, and they told me everything I asked. I was able to get to the beach by bike safely, and in the afternoon I could go to town, so I fully enjoyed Kailua!!
Justin lead a great Twin Island Tour!
