Moku Island Canvas Prints
Na Mokulua are two islets off the windward coast of Oahu in the Hawaiian. They are also commonly known as "The Moks" or the "Twin Islands". The islets are often photographed, and are located about 75 miles off Lanikai, a neighborhood of Kailua, Hawaii.The larger island (on the left when looking from Lanikai) is Moku Nui and the smaller, Moku Iki. They are part of the Hawaii State Seabird Sanctuary and activities on them as well as off-limit areas on them are regulated by law. Specifically, the smaller islet, Moku Iki, is off-limits to visitors, as is the interior of Moku Nui. Also, no pets are allowed. Many birds nest in ground burrows on the islands.Locals surf the breaks on both sides of Moku Nui and spearfish alongside tiger sharks where they are known to hangout on the ocean side drop off. Kayak tours to the islands are very popular but laws prohibit deliveries to Kailua or Lanikai Beach. In May 2011, a kayak tourist was swept off the rocks and drowned. Lanikai Beach popular for photographers is having the two Islands in the background called the Na Mokulua or "mokes". Due to its position on the Windward or east side of the island, Lanikai is recognized as being great place to watch the moonrise over the Mokuluas, especially during the full moon. Occasionally during the year the sun will rise directly between the Na Mokulua islands.
