The bay is home to the island’s only barrier reef, as well as diverse marine ecosystems. Enjoy a breathtaking sailing adventure in Kaneohe Bay on an 18-foot Hobie Getaway Catamaran.

This 3-hour adventure begins at He’eia State Park where you’ll have time to learn the basics of sailing and boat rigging. Your certified instructor can teach you the basics of sailing and once out on the water, give you a chance to feel the power of the sailing catamaran if you wish. Otherwise, you can sit back, relax, soak in the sun and enjoy the view. No sailing experience is necessary to participate in this tour. This is an extremely personal adventure, with an instructor to participant ratio of never more than 6:1 to make sure everyone enjoys the best possible sailing experience.
