Kainalu, meaning “ocean wave” in Hawaiian, honors the relationship between the mauka (mountain) and the makai (sea). By encouraging active experiences on natural terrain, Kainalu is rooted in a deep love for our oceans and with it, a newfound respect for its powers.  Our world-class team of Kainalu watermen and women are anchored at Surf Shack, where the Great Lawn meets the beach. Embark on a journey of self-discovery by paddling, snorkeling, boating, and surfing along our legendary coast.

Mika, Our Cherished Four-Legged Host

A natural swimmer and overall athlete, Mika loves spending time with our Kainalu Pros at the Surf Shack. When she's not stand up paddle boarding along the coast, sipping a Mika Mai Tai at CanoeHouse, or talking story with Uncle Danny, Mika can be found mingling with guests from the Front Drive to the Great Lawn.
