#2 Intermediate

This medium length paddle can be challenging because of potential large trade swells. If conditions allow you can get up close to several islets between Lai‘e Point and Mālaekahana.

A scenic paddle going past all the famous North Shore surf breaks. The first couple miles are the most challenging depending on the swell.

This is a mellow paddle on the calm, leeward coast. Going by World Famous Makaha surfing beach where there is also a turtle feeding station if anybody would like to take a dip and check out some honu.

The first half of this paddle is not the most scenic, but once you pass the Kalaeloa Harbor entrance you cruise by the plush Ko Olina Resort. The reef in front of Ko Olina and the Kahe Power Plant cooling water discharge pipe are great snorkeling spots.

This is a round trip paddle along the rugged leeward coast from Mākua Beach to Kaʻena Point and back. Probably too early for a humpback whale encounter, but maybe an early arrival will show up.
