Review of Oahu’s Kailua kayak and snorkel tour, with Mokulua Islands, sea turtles, lunch, costs, effort, guides, and practical tips.

“We rented the kayak to go to Lanakai Beach and the mok’s - were pleasantly surprised to find that the rental included a lot more. We got gourmet sandwiches and chips from a restaurant across the street - that was then placed in a cooler bag and dry bag. The package also included snorkeling gears, dry bags, beach chairs and umbrellas. I also thought that we are on our own after we got the kayak but there were staff at the beach to help us with the kayak. Friendly staff and so convenient! We had an awesome day!”

“Very friendly staff at the pick up location. Strapping the kayak on was much easier than I thought it would be and it was easy to take down and put back on my own with the help of my wife. I booked for 4 hours but they told me to bring it back whenever I was done with my trip. Excellent experience and the dry bag was very useful too.”

“My boyfriend was visiting Hawaii for the first time, and he really wanted to try paddleboarding. It was my first time too, but I stumbled upon Yoga Floats online and am really glad I did! Kelsey was a great instructor - she took her time to explain basic safety, about paddleboarding and etiquette of the beach too. She was also really accommodating and supportive (I was nervous to fully stand and stayed on my knees the whole time). She was also a great person overall! We were lucky to have great weather conditions, and her great energy also brought along a lot of great experiences. We saw a turtle pop…”
