Polynesian Canoe Day Sail in Oahu booking from $170.00

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.

My boyfriend and I had an incredible sailing experience! The captain and crew were so kind, welcoming and knowledgeable. We learned quite a bit about Hawaiian history and culture, and we loved the live music. The food was amazing too- best poke we've had in Hawaii! This was a really special experience which we would recommend to anyone traveling to Oahu.

Highly recommend for anyone seeking to relax and enjoy a rich cultural experience. I booked this trip for me, my daughter and three granchildren ages 4, 14 & 20. There is something for everyone. It was relaxing and beautiful at the same time very educational. We were fortunate to have the extremely talented musician and expert on Hawaiian culture La’amea Paleka on board in addition to the very knowledgeable Captain Rob and crew. We pounded poi, made tea leave leis, helped raise the sail, were serenaded and learned Hawaiian stories and songs. This is a must for anyone visiting Oahu.

My family had the amazing opportunity to sail on Kamoauli for a sunset cruise to the Westside of the island and we couldn't be more happy with the entire experience! The moment we set foot on this one of kind Polynesian canoe we just couldn't wait for the adventure to begin! Captain Rob, First Mate Kawika, and the rest of the Kamoauli crew did an awesome job of weaving Hawaiian lore and legend with the breathtaking views of both island and ocean. Having the opportunity to sail on a traditional Polynesian canoe made the experience way more legit and I can't recommend this cruise enough! Kamoauli maika'i!!!
