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.

We had an amazing time! Could not ask for more. We were able to sail and sit in nets, be immersed in the culture of the Polynesian islands, watch the sights, learn hula, how to play instruments, get some education about the land, make our own poi, and hear beautiful music sang by an amazing singer! One of the highlights of our trip!
