About this experience
Here's what makes the Kailua Bay & Popoia Island paddle board lesson so special: you'll discover Oahu's smallest offshore island on a 3-hour adventure that feels worlds away from the crowds. Just 15 minutes of paddling from Kailua Beach brings you to Popoia Island, where crystal-clear waters reveal sea turtles, vibrant tropical fish, and Hawaiian monk seals in their natural habitat.
Our local guides welcome you into their Ohana, providing thorough instruction before leading you across those famous turquoise waters to this secluded sanctuary. Whether you're a complete beginner or bringing the whole family, this experience combines guided paddle boarding, kayaking, optional snorkeling, and a nature hike.
We've made logistics simple too. Special foam pads and straps help transport your equipment from our meeting point at 134B Hamakua Dr. to Kailua Beach. Throughout the day, you'll fuel up with lunch and traditional Hawaiian shave ice while watching sea turtles glide beneath your board and monk seals basking on pristine shores.
The guided format of this Kailua Bay & Popoia Island paddle board lesson ensures beginners feel confident while still delivering plenty of adventure for experienced paddlers. Plan to arrive one hour before your scheduled tour for equipment fitting and your safety briefing.
