About this tour
This guided kayak tour takes experienced paddlers through Hilo Bay and up the Wailuku River, combining Hawaiian cultural history with on-the-water paddling. The route passes Coconut Island, known in Hawaiian tradition as Moku Ola, a place of refuge where, according to legend, the ill could seek healing. A local guide shares stories of warriors, gods, and the cultural significance of the bay along the way.
Paddlers move past historic Hilo Town, shaped by sugar plantations and sampan fishing fleets before tsunamis reshaped its coastline. The route also passes beneath the Singing Bridge, named for the hum it produces as vehicles cross overhead. The river section brings banyan trees, waterfalls, and the option to swing from overhanging branches into the lagoon below.
A kayak, paddle, life jacket, safety gear, instruction, bottled water, and light snacks are all included.
