🛶 Hilo Ocean Adventures - Hilo Bay & Coconut Island Kayak Adventure
This guided kayak adventure is ideal for beginners. Group sizes are kept small of no more than 6 guests at a time. After a safety briefing as per PADI/NAUI regulations, you will be shown to your kayak, where your life jacket and paddle are waiting. Now it's time to set off on this amazing kayak expedition!
As you paddle across Hilo Bay, enjoy the beautiful views of the snow-capped peaks of Mauna Kea in the distance. Your experienced tour guide will share with you the history of the bay as you make your way to Coconut Island just offshore. The island is popular with local families who come here to relax on the grass and have picnics in the small pavilions.
The island's 2 sandy beaches are sheltered by the Hilo Pier, so the waters are calm. There are also several tide pools to explore, where the local marine life thrives and can easily be seen. We will spend about 1.5 hours on the water in picturesque Hilo Bay during this kayak tour.
