About this place
See Oahu from a new perspective by jumping on a paddleboard or in a kayak and heading out to this iconic island. Take a picnic or grill in your kayak and enjoy an afternoon at the beach.
There are two islands off the coast of Kailua known as the Mokulua or 'Mokes'. The island on the right, Moku Iki, is off-limits. However, the larger of the two islands, Moku Nui, is accessible via a 30 minute kayak, SUP or outrigger.
You can push off from Kailua Beach Park for a longer paddle or head to Lanikai Beach for a more direct route. The island's small, sandy beach area is perfect for a BBQ or picnic lunch, so don’t forget to load up your kayak with food and beverages.
On the backside of the island is a rugged trail that takes you to a cove where you can swim and cliff jump. However, you must ensure that the surf is down before venturing back here as large, rouge waves can sweep you off into the ocean. If in doubt, do not go out.
