Join us on this kayak & snorkel adventure starting at Napoopoo Pier at beautiful & historic Kealakekua Bay.

Paddlers age 10-65 are welcome, but be aware the paddle across the bay is 35 minutes of strenuous paddling & guides set a brisk pace. The ocean waves can cause an expected capsize which requires a significant physical effort to right the kayak and complete a push-up to reenter the kayak. Consequently this trip is only for strong, physically fit, fully mobile, healthy paddlers under the weight of 250 pounds.
