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.

The crew is a well functioning team and did phenomenal at making our experience great. We got to see turtles, beautiful ocean and Waikiki from the sea. Culture learning was amazing, the food was the best we had yet. You could tell it was fresh and actually local. The tuna and marlin just so good. We got lucky and had the boat to ourselves because the others were late so it was a private trip. My only complaint was that we couldn’t stay out longer. There is tons of history and culture with this and it did not feel like a tourist trap which we loved. This is day 4 and count this as our best event yet, other than exploring on our own of course. Worth every dollar, mahalo!

The crew was excellent and knowledgeable. Especially the practitioner. She had first hand knowledge and displayed it very eloquently. We even made our own poi!! It was a wonderful, educational and eye opening experience. We would recommend this company and trip to everyone. Real Hawaii!!

This morning boat tour was by far our favorite experience in Hawaii! We had our 10 month old baby with us so this is definitely a family friendly activity. The crew is absolutely fantastic and really helped us feel welcome. We learned a lot about Hawaii, got to partake in the music, and enjoyed some delicious food. We were extra lucky because 1) we had to boat and crew to ourselves and 2) got to see turtles and dolphins!
