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.

Thoroughly professional, friendly, genuine and fun. If this trip was a film, you would book it again and go straight back in. We were the only couple on the boat that trip as another party had cancelled, but the crew were still wholly enthused about everything they did. This is not a booze cruise or a snorkelling adventure but an opportunity to learn more about the history of Hawaii, its people and language in a wonderful setting.

We had an incredible time aboard Kamoauli! The welcome chant from the crew made us cry, as they shared pure aloha with us. All the special touches were so meaningful and heartfelt. Its an honor to be aboard this historic Polynesian canoe and an incredible opportunity learn all the teaching - the mo’olelo. Truly a beautiful sail we will never forget! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
