Magic Island to Kaimana and Back with lunch in Waikiki

We play tourist today with a fun cruise across world famous Waikiki Beach. Bring your snorkels as we hope to stop at Turtle Canyon to find out why all the tour boats stop there. Kayak surfers can drop in on the surf breaks along the way. On our return leg, we’ll pull up on the beach in front of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel and have lunch at the beachfront Mai Tai Bar.

Even non-paddlers can join us for lunch! The Mai Tai Bar offers free validated parking (4hrs.) or you can valet for free (it’s customary to tip!). You must park at the Sheraton Waikiki/Royal Hawaiian Hotel parking garage NOT the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center!

Mark Ling has arranged a discount for the lunch, but you must pay with CASH. Check out their menu and make sure you bring enough kala for your order.

You must RSVP by May 28 to be included in the lunch reservation.

This event will be limited to 20 kayakers because of the limited beach space at the Royal Hawaiian. Priority will be given to club members. If you can partner with someone on a tandem for this event it will help to minimize the amount of beach space that we need.

Meet at the Magic Island canoe ramp at 9:30 am. Launch promptly at 10:00 am. Parking can get tight at Magic Island so carpool if you can or make sure you get there early so you don’t have to hunt for a spot. – 5 mi.
