Polynesian Canoe Morning 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.

*Morning sails are the best time to potentially encounter ocean wildlife in Waikiki waters.*

*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.

This is absolutely a must-do!!! From the greeting to the end of the sail. You will learn lots of history about the island of Oahu, the food, the language, the music ,, and you will learn to hula. The crew was very hospitable. I absolutely loved it.
