Kailua Ocean Adventures

Had a great day kayaking. Customer service was average. Definitely felt like a few things could of been explained better.

Born n raised here in hawaii n when coming back to the island’s, paddling with Jonny n his crew is the best there is! we were out there for a private cruise and there is no other experience that matches. Go to Kailua ocean adventures and make sure to ask for Jonny! My daughter is 8 years old and she had a blast! they let get out of the canoe and let her swim in the middle of the ocean, awesome experience!

Wonderful experience. If I could give them more then 5 stars I would! My fiancé and I did the canoe ride out to the Moku Nui Islands. It was absolutely beautiful. We had the best time and our tour guides (Johnny and Isaac) were awesome. Once we were on the island we were able to do a short hike to the Queens bath which was absolutely amazing. I definitely recommend this tour and company to anyone who will be in the area and is looking for a good time!

This was not only an opportunity to paddle and explore the Mokes but to share an adventure with knowledgable and super nice guys while supporting a local Kailua family run business. They made the afternoon very enjoyable by personalizing the trip to our paddling ability and we felt safe due to their knowledge of the ocean.
In addition to paddling the canoe, they led a great tour of the island. They taught us some local history, pointed out some creatures in the tide pools, and gave us an understanding of what it is like to grow up in this beautiful area.
Our 11-​year old had a blast. It was one of the best memories from our recent trip!

My wife and I did the 3 hour canoe trip to the Mokes, and it was fantastic. Jonny was a great guide; he was super laid back and made sure we had a good time. Definitely one of the best deals on the island!

5 stars is not enough!
I am only bummed I haven’t done this sooner, as it is so much fun, and will be a great way to enjoy the beautiful Mokes with friends and family in the future.
From beginning to end, Jonny and Devin (our guides) we so awesome, and really helped make the day special for my wife and I. They were so helpful with making sure that we were having a good time, took breaks if needed, and did a good job of preparing us for the paddle to and from the Mokes. The paddle made a good workout, but a lot less strenuous then our previous attempts to island with Kayaks. Although I think it due to my wife trying to impress Jonny, cause he’s a stud, haha.
The waves were strong on the shore of Moku Nui, and I was impressed at the way Jonny knew the perfect time to bolt for the island while the waves were down. He also explained to us how to safely get in and out so we would not get hurt.
When we got on shore we were offered water and lunch, but had our own cooler. They also explained the rules of the island, which is a bird sanctuary, and we’re really respectful of the land, making sure we didn’t go to any areas that are off limits.
NY wife and I did take a short 5 minute hike on the right side of Moku Nui so we could swing in Queens Bath, which is like a private saltwater pool.
I highly recommend this to anyone interested in having a good time with good people. It makes way more sense to do this, rather than rent a kayak, which takes longer and more effort to get to Oku Nui.
Thx once again K.O.A. for making our early Valentines Day, and first trip to «The Mokes» a very memorable one!

My husband and I did a kayak tour (booked through our hotel) and really loved it. Our guides were friendly and knowledgeable and gave us a great experience. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip.

Awesome fantastic exceeded expectations!
I came to Kailua to look for something easy cheap and quick to get around. Bicycles! Awesome location! Parking lot of HIC Hawaiian Island Creations. (My favorite surf shop)
Took the bus over the beautiful pali hwy
Jumped off and rented a bike.
The friendly service and lots of bikes. Huge baskets for my beach stuff. Lock to lockum up. What more could you want!
Thanks again guys for making my Kailua trip awesome!

Our family of three went on a fun and memorable canoe trip with this company in August 2012. We have been to Moku Nui previously on a kayak trip. But we felt safer on the canoe. I’ve seen kayakers tip over. Plus they had a motor for lazy paddlers like me. Moku Nui has a nice beach and a short hike to a tide pool that you can jump in for a swim. We booked the trip with Joy who was pleasant and informative on the phone. She was able to accommodate our late arrival as well as our tour guide Chris. Chris grew up in the area and gave us a local’s perspective. He knew almost everyone we ran into on Moku Nui. They are a small family business and they pride themselves on treating you like part of the family. They also run the HIC store in Kailua town which Chris said we would get a discount at for booking the tour. We hope the recent ban on commercial activity at Kailua beaches doesn’t affect them. Some minor cons: More selection from the included lunch (it was either a cold cut or veggie Subway sandwich). There were much more people on Moku Nui then the last time we went. Not the company’s fault but the morning trip may be better if you want fewer crowds.

This place has only been in business for about 6 months. We decided to go with them because we didn’t want the traditional sailboat and because we like supporting the small guy. We did the outrigger sailing canoe tour which was 3 hours out to Mokalua Island. We have kayaked out there before but this gave us a chance to really see what was going on around us. Wes was awesome. as a local who loves his island, he really gave us a lot of historical and not so historical info. He also told some pretty funny jokes! Six of us were comfortable on the canoe. There is no doubt we will do this again.
