Maunalua Bay Eco-Excursion

This adventure is approximately 4 miles in length. The tour is designed to be both an educational and ecologically minded tour leading guest through the sheltered waters of Maunalua Bay. An opportunity to get away from the crowds, letting you and your imagination drift between present day and ancient Hawaii. Starting up wind, we paddle right back to The Kahala Hotel and Resort. All skill levels are welcome, but you must be able to swim. 

Kahana Bay Excursion 

The tour begins by visiting the Pali Lookout, one of Oahu's best viewing points and a spot of great importance. Here the story of King Kamehameha and how he accomplished his dream of unifying the Hawaiian Islands begins. After descending to the windward side of the island, we reach our paddle destination. In calm waters protected by an outer reef, this tour follows the rugged Ko'olau mountain range, past an ancient Hawaiian fishpond, and up a tropical river. With the mountains rising to over 2600 feet, the views from the water are spectacular. When the sun is out, the shallow water shows its natural turquoise color and the landscape is covered with bright green vegetation. When it rains, a waterfall plunges from a nearby cliff, and the surrounding peaks are blanketed with clouds.  To top it off, the paddle is almost effortless with the consistent trade winds blowing at your back. Kahana Valley State Park is a "living park", home to 31 Hawaiian families that help maintain Hawaiian values and lifestyle. This tour is sure to leave a lasting impression!
