Molokai Channel Crossing
Twenty-six miles of open ocean downwind. For paddlers who know what that means.
About this experience
The Kaiwi Channel is the proving ground of Pacific paddling — twenty-six miles of deep, moving water, and we run an escorted crossing for experienced paddlers in a supported fleet. Escort boat, two safety crew, water and nutrition on the hour, and a captain who has made the crossing forty-one times. Applications are reviewed; this is not a beginner trip.
