We will quickly pack up and head to Hamakua Marsh, right across from our storefront. Talk about venturing off the beaten path, this hidden wildlife sanctuary is a true gem. Native, endangered birds are found here. Keep an eye out for the four endemic waterbird species: ‘Alae ‘Ula, Ae’o, ‘Alae Ke’o Ke’o, and Koloa Maoli.

Once on Moku Nui island your guide will help you explore and hike around, visiting queen's bath and its surrounding tidepools and possibly the back side of the island if the weather permits.

Admission includedPaddling out from Lanikai Beach, you catch your first full view of Na Mokulua rising from the Pacific, their green ridgelines sharp against the sky. The two islets sit close enough to feel reachable yet remote enough to feel like a true escape. Na Mokulua reward those who make the crossing with a small crescent beach, crystalline shallows, and the quiet company of nesting seabirds. Few places on Oahu offer this combination of raw coastline and accessible solitude.
