Reef-protected Kailua Bay provides a safe environment for the beginner paddler and advanced paddler alike. A comprehensive video briefing, weather updates, and instructions given by our experienced staff prepare our guests for a unique day in Kailua Bay. Not far down the beach from Flat Island is a spot inhabited by the protected Green Sea Turtles. There are often several encounters on each trip. Green Sea Turtles are a threatened species, and seeing them is a very special experience. Snorkel gear is provided to explore the Kailua coral heads. Visit your choice of several offshore islands, sanctuaries and beaches and find solitude exploring at your own pace. Find a spot to eat lunch (included in the price!) and take a swim or snorkel at your leisure. Afterwards there is time to head out for some fun in the surf. Boogie-boarding is a favorite at the North end of the beach where the shore break forms a perfect wave.
