About Kualoa Ranch - Ocean Voyage Adventure
See Oahu’s windward side from the water on a relaxed catamaran cruise across Kaneohe Bay. The boat carries you past Mokoli'i Island, also known as Chinaman's Hat, with the steep green Ko'olau Mountains rising behind the shoreline.
Along the way, you’ll also pass Hokule'a Beach, connected to the first modern replica of an ancient Hawaiian sailing canoe. Your guide adds historical context as the scenery unfolds, and you may spot sea turtles feeding in the bay or humpback whales during the winter season.
