For those who know us, we love a deal. Before I go anywhere, I look on Groupon for what might be available. So for Kailua I found: Full-Day Double-Kayak and Snorkel Rental for Two at Kailua Beach Adventures ($122 Value) for only $62. Sweet deal! Included was:
Full-day double-kayak rental ($79 value)
Back rests for two ($6 value)
Full-day snorkel rental for two ($32 value)
Dry bag ($5 value)
Finding the perfect weather and scheduling is always tough, but today worked out perfectly!
Our first destination was to the beaches of Lanikai, which means "heavenly sea" in the Hawaiian language. This was a pristine beach and a favorite of many Kailuans and visitors alike. Its mile long beach, of fine white sand and surfless turquoise water, was perfect for a beach day, snorkeling and for enjoying the view of the world famous Mokulua Islands, about a mile off shore.
Since the gear was included in the rental, Steve was totally up for cruising the reef with me.
Our final stop was Flat Island (Popoi'a) for an explore. We paid an extra $3, each, in order to land our kayak here. Popoi'a is a bird sanctuary that is home to nesting seabirds. The Bulwer's Petrel and Christmas Shearwater come here to breed. We strolled the small island and enjoyed all it had to offer.
As the crazy weather reports come to us from Tahoe, the Island Life continues to call. It is really going to be hard to leave here. In the meantime, we'll continue to delight in all O'ahu has to offer. "You had me at Aloha!"

Love the crab...bet Bob and Jenny would have loved the bird island!
Wow! What a great deal! It would have been worth it, but why not make it even more worth it! I love the underwater smiles. And the angle of the crab.
Aloha!
