What an experience! We upgraded to a guided tour and it was so worth it! Rob, our guide was great. Once we made it to the big island, he explained the endagered wildlife to us and shared pointed out the vegitation to us. Have you ever tasted the pickle plant? Then we took a plunge in the Queen's Bath! WOW! We are still talking about it - three days later!
Explore the Mokolua Islands on this adventurous self-guided tour. The island is a seabird sanctuary and the beach is also a resting spot for monk seals. You will get the opportunity to see native wildlife and maybe a sea turtle or two as you paddle out to the islet. Kayaking out to the larger island Moku Nui from Kailua Beach is for the more adventurous and can take over an hour which gives you a good opportunity to see lots of turtles and flying fish. For the short walk on the island be sure to bring some shoes or sandals to protect your feet if they are not used to the rough lava. Experience swimming in the queens bath, an eight-foot deep ocean water swimming hole on the backside of Moku Nui. This is the best self-guided kayak tour in Kailua, something you do not want to miss!

3 adults in a kayak and we had to take it to the beach ourselves on the top of the car! It was not capable of handling 3 adults and made for a cramped and wobbly trip in a kayak! We are experienced kayakers and were disappointed! We
Cut our entire kayak trip short and returned the kayak after an hour, and went to do anything else! Didn’t even get to go to the island with the queens bath because it was so tipsy with 3 people we woulda flipped the kayak and never made it! I will definitely use a different proprietor next time

Our whole experience was awesome! Rob, our guide, took great care of us. Our experience began with riding to the beach on e-bikes then launching the kayaks from the shore. We paddled to the island and refreshed with Aloha juice and a delicious burrito. Rob explained the the birds, seals and plant life on the island. Rob even helped us out with a tow when we needed it. We can't stop talking about our trip!
