Kualoa Park (Chinaman's Hat) to Kahana Bay and up Kahana River. 6 Miles + 2. - Aloha Paddlers!! - PLEASE SEE NOTES BELOW!! We’ll be paddling from Kualoa Beach Park (extreme north end of Kaneohe Bay) up the east side of the island inside the reef past beautiful Ka a'awa valley to Kahana Bay. At the entrance of Kahana Bay, is an ancient fishpond where we'll take a break and learn some history of the area and the fishpond. At Ka a'awa Valley, there is a great little surf spot where we can catch small to medium size waves, so it’ll be a good spot to spend a bit of time polishing up on all of our surf skills and having some fun. So, as for trip details……………….. Kualoa Park To Kahana Valley, up Kahana River. It's 6.1 miles to Kahana, about 1.5 miles up the stream and back for a total paddling distance of 7.6 miles. We'll meet Morning at 8 AM at Kualoa Beach Park in the parking lot near the first restroom building. Shuttle cars to Kahana will leave at 8:20 AM, and we’ll paddle away from the beach about 9 AM. We should finish up at between noon and 2:30 PM. This is a VERY scenic paddle with lots of interesting history, so I’ll look forward to seeing you all there!
