Itinerary: The day begins with a hotel pickup in Waikiki between 7:30 and 8:30 AM, or you can check in at our shop at 9:00 AM if you have your own transportation. You’ll meet your kayak guide and naturalist, and be equipped with all necessary gear, including life jackets (PFDs), lockers, dry bags, and snorkel gear. After a detailed briefing on the area, basic kayaking instructions, and the day’s schedule, you’ll walk the kayaks to the beach on carts (about a 5-minute walk) and paddle to the Mokulua Island sea-bird sanctuaries, which takes about an hour one-way. Upon arrival at the island’s deserted beach, you’ll embark on an eco-tour and tide-pool hike to Queen’s Bath. Next, you’ll paddle through the turquoise waters of Lanikai Beach, go snorkeling, and enjoy a handmade deli sandwich with drinks and healthy snacks. You’ll have the opportunity to kayak surf if conditions allow, explore the beaches, or go for a swim. You’ll return to our shop around 2:30 PM, where you can use our shower facilities and change into dry clothes. You’ll be on your way by 3:00 PM, or our driver will return you to your hotel by around 3:30 PM. Our Beach Center Shop offers accessories like sunscreen, UV shirts, and waterproof cameras.
