Polynesian Canoe Day Sail in Oahu booking from $200.00

Polynesian Canoe Day Sail

Overview

Kamoauli is a locally owned, all-wood, double-hulled, traditional Polynesian canoe (wa’a kaulua) offering a one-of-a-kind native Hawaiian cultural and educational experience. Come sail along the beautiful Waikiki coastline and become immersed in the stories and history of place (Mo‘olelo) reflected through the land (ʻāina) and ocean (moana) aboard a classroom on the sea. Our cultural practitioner and crew involve guests in hands on activities, using native materials to make food, clothing, tools, and other traditional items. Ask questions, explore the deck, nets and hulls, take part in poi (taro) pounding or just relax and enjoy. 'Ukulele music and traditional chants ('oli) with locally-sourced traditional food and drinks are all part of this unique experience.

*Note: Due to COVID restrictions, all sails can only be booked as a private single group charter, with a minimum of one and a maximum of six passengers per charter. All ages welcome, minors must be accompanied by an adult.

I booked a private sail with Kamoauili Sailing on March 19, 2024, for a trip scheduled on June 16, 2024, at 11 am. Less than 24 hours before our scheduled sail, at 4:36 pm on June 15, 2024, I received an email stating that they would not be sailing because it was Father's Day on June 17. They suggested calling to reschedule. This last-minute cancellation was extremely unprofessional and left us in a very difficult position. With our entire trip planned and finalized, and our departure from Hawaii set for June 18, we had no flexibility to reschedule. Such short notice made it impossible to rearrange our plans or find an alternative. This kind of service is unacceptable, especially considering the significant time and financial investment involved in booking a private sail. I understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise like bad weather, injury or sickness, but this was a clear case of poor planning and communication on their part. I would advise others to be cautious when booking with them.

I am sorry for the interruption of your plans, we did try and contact you on several occasions. I wish we were able to communicate earlier, it was short notice on our part.

This was an amazing experience where my wife and I were able to learn about Hawaiian language, Hawaiian culture we were able to make and eat Hawaiian food. Sailing out to diamond head on, and authentic ship built for the king of Tonga we relaxed and enjoyed some good Hawaiian music. Sailing back we had lots of cultural activities. I especially enjoyed all the history. My wife and I made bracelet leis for each other, which we are now probably wearing around the beach. You will not be disappointed!
