Ocean Voyage Adventure Tour Features
Moli’i Fishpond
This massive fishpond is 125 acres and ranges in depth from 4 to 30 feet. The land containing the 600 – 960-year-old fishpond was purchased in 1850 by a man named Dr. Gerritt P. Judd. His descendants still own the property and manage it as Kualoa Ranch. It is one of the few fishponds that still exists in Hawai'i and contains moi (threadfish), ‘ama’ama (mullet), and awa (milkfish).
Kāneʻohe Bay
Some have referred to this magnificent bay as a ‘living postcard,’ and after seeing it, you will understand why. The bay stretches from the Mokapu Peninsula all the way to Mokoli’i Island, also known as the Chinaman’s Hat. This 8-mile stretch of water contains five small islands and several sandbars. You may have also seen Kāneʻohe Bay in movies and TV series such as Pearl Harbor, 50 First Dates, and Gilligan’s Island.
Hawaiian Aquaculture
The ancient Hawaiians had what some consider the perfect system for growing and producing a sustainable and reliable supply of food. While the full picture of ancient fish farming is largely unknown, enough has been passed down through word of mouth that the ancestors of the ancient Hawaiians and their supporters have been able to rebuild some of the fish ponds and share their knowledge with the world.

Description
The tour begins with a 20-minute tour of the Moli’i Fishpond, which is one of the largest fishponds in Hawai'i and serves as an enduring example of the ingenuity of the ancient Hawaiian people. Moli’i Fishpond is estimated to be between 600 and 960 years old. After spending some time exploring the pond and learning about the oyster farm and current stewardship practices, it will be time to head to ‘Secret Island,’ where you will board the catamaran that will take you around Kāneʻohe Bay. From the boat, you will enjoy stunning views of Mokoli'i Island, the valleys of Hakipu'u and Kualoa, and the Ko’olau mountain range. If you keep your eyes trained on the water, you may even catch glimpses of tropical fish, sea turtles, and other wildlife.
