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.

Very interesting sail. We learned a lot about the culture. Got to make some of our own food and sample a variety of common foods. Also got to learn a hula dance. Highly recommend for families!

This trip was exactly what we wanted for our family, an authentic sail on a catamaran that was originally built for the king of Tonga, and now is a floating experience on Hawaiian culture, food & history. We got to sail out along Waikiki, with traditional food, learned to dance the hula, learn to speak some Hawaiian. The highlight was our wonderful guide. She got the whole boat playing music together. It was a wonderful experience!

Highly recommend this educational cruise on a wa'a--a sailing canoe. The crew was native to the island and we learned so much about the culture here. Sampled authentic Polynesian cuisine, relaxed on deck listening to the eukelale accompanied native songs and even were able to pound our own poi to go with our sampling of native foods. Lots of fun and learned a lot too!
