    Beautiful set of two islands off the coast of Kailua. Kayak there, enjoy a picnic and if you are lucky, the site of monk seals around you

    Super fun destination to go play on the beach, snorkel or dive off of cliffs. Great spot to see monk seals!

    Beautiful place to see, the beach is amazing with the views of the 3 islands off the coast. There is a hike near by that is called the pill box hike that is a must do when you get there. Can be very busy and windy in the winter months. My favorite place that we side of the island. Parking can be hard to get when you come late as well, so be prepared

    Wildlife sanctuary that is a popular destination for kayakers in Kailua Bay. Monk seals are common basking on the beach. They are federally protected so keep your distance. Permits are required ($3) for landing with a rental kayak. These are available Mon-Saturday (No Sundays) from Kailua Beach Adventures. Landing without a permit can result in $1000 fine, even if a kayak company says they are a 'non-profit'. Beware. Bring lunch but pack out all of your trash. Take only pictures, leave only footprints.

    Nice little kayak trip over to the islands. Not super easy but if you've kayaked before or know what your doing it's a great trip. Gets crowded so dont expect to have the place to yourself. Great snorkeling on the way over in the reef. We saw more turtles there than our paid snorkel tour.

    My Aunt & Uncle live where there is perfect view of the Mokuluas, I have many sunrise & pictures. This year I climbed the Pill box to see a different view. Once you have been to see these in Lani Kai, you are hooked- I have an infinity for the Mokuluas, a spiritual attachment.

    Had a great time visiting the island. Navigating around the reefs can be challenging, so definitely ask a guide for advice before you kayak out. There were a ton of Shearwater Bird chicks in holes along the hillside, tidal pools, and rock crabs--along with many igneous rock formations. Shortly after arriving a monk seal barged into a bunch of fellow tourists and flopped onto shore. There's no place like it if you've got the skill and stamina to make it there and back.

    Na Mokulua are two beautiful islets off the coast of Kailua. I didn't kayak to them or anything, but the view of them from Lanikai Beach is absolutely perfect and well worth a visit.

    We kayaked to the more islands and it was so much fun! It took about an hour leaving from Kailua Beach with rough waters. We rented kayaks down the street for about $60 for a double kayak. Can't wait to go back!

    We rented a kayak and had lunch on the beach. It’s very nice and for a beginner kayaker it wasn’t to bad.

    This Island is an amazing sanctuary for seabirds and monk seals! Kayaking there requires moderate fitness level and depending on the day, experience navigating waves. We provide rentals, weather information, proper routes and required permits for landing. No landings on Sundays. Snorkeling is good, sea turtles are common.
