Kailua Bay & Popoia Island Self-Guided Kayaking – Kailua, Hawaii
Enjoy kayaking through the crystal clear water of Kailua Bay to Popoia Island. On this beginner self-guided tour you will be able to explore the flat island bird sanctuary and kayak in Kailua Bay.
EXPERIENCE:
Meet in Kailua at the Active Oahu storefront where friendly staff will help you load your kayaks and gear. From there drive a few minutes to Kailua Beach and park at the end of the first lot to launch near the bridge. A short section of water will be shallow before you continue walking across the beach to the ocean. Kayaking out to Popoia island is an easy and enjoyable experience and takes around 15 minutes to arrive at the small sandy area. For the short walk around the island be sure to bring some shoes or sandals to protect your feet from the sharp lava rock. The island is a bird sanctuary to many shearwaters that you will be able to see. When you are done exploring Kailua Bay meet us back at the storefront where we will help you unload.
