Mokulua Islands
Hawaii · United States
(*If Self-Guided, the itinerary is flexible.) The final destination is Moku Nui of the famed Twin Islands. This is a bird nesting sanctuary that requires special permission to visit. Hawaiian monk seals are often basking on the beach and sea turtles feed on the coral reefs around the islands. Start off with a short hike to Queen's Bath tide pool and take the plunge into a salt water jacuzzi with a view. Hike back and go for a snorkel, searching for our sea turtle friends and schools of tropical fish. After this you've certainly earned your lunch so we break out a picnic and munch while watching the waves and the incredible view of the Ko'Olau Mountains. Native sea birds cruise overhead and your guide's tell the tales of Hawaiian explorers that traveled these waters.
