Kayaking to the Mokulua Islands is a breathtaking experience. Selecting the ideal launch point is the first step in getting your journey underway. Twogood Kayaks in Kailua, HI, wants you to get the most of your kayak experience by offering advice on two of the best beaches to get you to the Mokulua Islands.

Best Launching Points When Kayaking To The Mokulua Islands

Lanikai Beach

This small beach consistentlyKayaks ranks as one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. However, there are no restrooms, parking lots, or lifeguards. Lanikai Beach has many places to kayak from, giving you views of Rabbit Island, Makapu’u Point, and the Ko’olau Mountains. It will take you about 20-45 minutes to paddle to the Mokulua Islands. This beach is ideal if you would rather spend your time on the island than on the water.

Kailua Beach

Located on Ohau’s windward coast, Kailua Beach boasts a white-sand beach, plenty of shaded trees, and a park. This beach has amenities such as parking, restrooms and showers, and a lifeguard stand. You’ll launch with calm waters as the outer reef blocks the ocean waves. The one-mile paddle to the Mokulua Islands will take you about an hour. During your trip, you’ll encounter a reef where you may catch a peek at the Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles. You will have a view of Rabbit Island, Makapu’u, and the Ko’olau Mountains. This launch point is ideal if you’re looking to enjoy the open ocean.

Regardless of which launch point you choose, the ride will be spectacular. If you are looking to rent a kayak for your next adventure, stop by Twogood Kayaks Hawaii.
