Polynesian Canoe Sunset 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.

*All ages are welcome, minors must be accompanied by an adult.

It’s not a booze cruse. It’s better. It’s an educational outing that’s fun and with every penny. The captain, crew and educational instructors provide 5 star food and 5 star knowledge that’s neither boring nor stuffy - it is the trip you always wanted to take. So just do it.

The trip was canceled due to the practitioner not being available. We were advised the evening before. Can't really give a fair rating. The cancelation phone call was professional

As a local Business we do depend on "fair" ratings of Kamoauli and what we offer. We have stayed within our guidelines and fully refunded you and offered to reschedule. I know we cant please everyone but strive for the highest standard. 3 stars?? ouch!
