Hilo Bay Myths and Legends Waterfall Kayak Adventure
Embark on a 4-mile advanced kayak journey through the calm waters of Hilo Bay and the Wailuku River. This tour is designed for experienced paddlers aged 12 and older, with minors under 18 required to be accompanied by an adult.
Begin paddling past Coconut Island (Moku Ola), a sacred refuge in ancient Hawai‘i, where legends say swimming around the island three times could heal the ill. Along the way, your guide shares tales of Hawaiian warriors, gods, and the deep cultural significance of the bay.
Enjoy sweeping views of historic Hilo Town, once a thriving sugar plantation and fishing hub before tsunamis reshaped the coastline. Spot Hawaiian green sea turtles (honu) gliding through the lagoon and paddle beneath the Singing Bridge, known for the humming sound it makes as cars pass overhead.
The adventure continues upriver through lush scenery, combining Hawaiian history, mythology, and natural beauty in one unforgettable experience.
