Heeia-Kea, Oahu

The Heeia-Kea boat ramp provides easy access to the Pacific Ocean along the eastern shore of Oahu. This is the only public boat ramp located on Kaneohe Bay, making it a popular launch site for kayakers, canoeists, and small boaters.

The ramp is situated within the Heeia-Kea Small Boat Harbor, which offers 21 berths and 54 moorings in addition to the boat launch. Paddlers and boaters can use the harbor facilities, including restrooms and a pumpout station. However, there are no specific details available on hours of operation or fees.

The ramp provides direct access to the sheltered waters of Kaneohe Bay, which is known for its calm conditions and scenic landscape. Experienced paddlers may choose to venture out into the open ocean, but should be aware of changing weather and sea conditions. The nearby Pearl Harbor National Wildlife Refuge and Oahu Forest National Wildlife Refuge offer additional opportunities for exploration by water.
