Beautiful adventure. Can go to the protected islands with a $6 permit. Also a nearby beach to snorkel. Be prepared to walk a lot before /after. About 10-15m walk pulling the kayak to the beach. Then down/up a big sand hill.

Our time with Kailua Beach Adventures was fantastic. The trip out to the Mokes was beautiful, and we loved getting to explore the islands once we arrived. Huge shoutout to Maggie, who led the tour with so much energy and enthusiasm. Couldn’t have had a better guide or a better day!

Came here 6 years ago as a solo traveler and now a second time as a group of six. Rented three double kayaks and had a great time for 4 hours. We paddled out to Flat Island, strolled around, then continued Lanikai Beach and snorkeled some. The weather conditions weren't in our favor, so the other two islands would have been too much. Staff are great, would definitely recommend this place if you like outdoor adventures!
