Guided Mokulua Islands Kayak Tour & E-Bike Adventure

Overview

The guided Mokulua Islands kayak and e-bike tour from Active Oahu Tours is a 5-hour outing: an e-bike ride to Kailua Beach, a 60-80 minute paddle each way to Moku Nui, a permitted island visit, then lunch and shave ice. It suits fit adults aged 16 and over; the drawback is the $273 price and 4.5 miles of open-bay paddling.

Highlights

• Replaces the car shuttle of the standard Mokulua tour with a 7-minute e-bike ride from the Kailua storefront to Kailua Beach Park, with trailers carrying the kayaks.
• Guided paddle of 60-80 minutes each way across Kailua Bay to Moku Nui, about 4.5 miles in total (Manawa listing).
• Moku Nui landing permit, lunch, shave ice, water, snacks, snorkel gear and a 15-liter dry bag included.
• $273.22 per visitor and $250.48 kamaaina/military on Greetwell; private option for 1-2 people $493.83 per person (October 2026).
• Groups are 6-7 guests per guide; e-bike riders must be 16 or older.

What to Expect

1. Check in at the Kailua storefront at 134B Hamakua Dr. 30 minutes before the start (Greetwell) or 1 hour before (Manawa) for a safety demo, route overview, kayak lesson and e-bike orientation.
2. Ride across the road to Hamakua Marsh to look for native waterbirds, then continue about 7 minutes by e-bike to Kailua Beach Park.
3. Meet the guide in the water, review how to enter and exit the kayak, and paddle across Kailua Bay toward the Mokulua Islands for 60-80 minutes, with an optional stop at Popoia Island or Lanikai Beach for snorkeling if the guide agrees.
4. Land on Moku Nui, walk to Queen's Bath and the tide pools, and if weather allows hike the back side of the island; snacks and water are served here.
5. Paddle 60-80 minutes back to Kailua Beach, return the kayak and ride the e-bikes back to the storefront.
