Kayak – Myths & Legends Waterfall Adventure

About the Tour

This intimate excursion immerses you in the rich culture and layered history of East Hawaiʻi, offering dramatic vistas and peaceful exploration.

Along the way, pass Coconut Island (Moku Ola), once a sacred healing sanctuary where warriors swam for cures, and hear the legend of those who circled the isle three times for restoration.

Skill Level: Advanced kayakers only.
