Kayak – Hilo Bay & Coconut Island Adventure

About the Tour

Join an intimate group (max six guests) and glide through the calm waters of Hilo Bay with a local nature‑lover guiding you past sweeping views of Mauna Kea, the Hamakua Coast, and the modern town of Hilo.
Pause at Coconut Island (Moku Ola), a small grassy park with picnic areas, calm coves for wading, and a stone tower popular for jumping into Hilo Bay.

Disclaimer: River and bay paddling means splashy decks—you will likely get wet!
