Welcome for all skill levels, the warm waters near Kailua offer an amazing sea kayaking adventure all year round. Explore the Lanikai area at your own pace with a 2-hour or 4-hour guided kayak tour. Trained professionals are always nearby to help you on your kayak trips and are more than happy to provide tips and pointers to make you feel comfortable on the water, especially for kayaking novices! Visit the nearby famous Twin Islands—also known as Na Mokulua: Moku Nui & Moku Iki—to land there, or just kayak around them, spotting the local sea birds that make their home there and marine life such as the adorable Hawaiian monk seal. Hawaiian green sea turtles also call the area home and often make appearances off the coast.
You’ll notice two small islands in front of you on the shores of Lanikai beach. These two islands are called “Na Mokulua”, the Twin Islands. Both islands, known as "the mokes," are a seabird sanctuary protected by the State of Hawaii. The bigger island is named Moku Nui and the smaller is Moku Iki. These islands are easily accessible by renting a kayak on Kailua Beach and paddling about one mile (1.6 km) offshore.
