Polynesian Canoe Sunset Sail in Oahu booking from $250.00

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 was great! Only having a few others on the boat with you made it a much more enjoyable experience. The guide was very informative and spoke to us about Hawaiian history and language. I got to pound my own tarp root into poi and we learned the hula. Very relaxing and nice compared to the other crowded “booze cruises.” (No booze here but they serve refreshments.)

Traditional Hawaiian Paddle Boat sunset ride to Diamond Head. Educational: learned Hawaiian history, traditions, lei making, hula, Hawaiian foods. Small group, only 8 of us. Very nice.

My wife and I had a spectacular time on our cruise. It did need to be rescheduled and moved to a later day, which ended up working great. Only one other couple on board with us so we got a lot of attention and time to lounge on the netting as well as a turn at the tiller (Thanks Captain Rob). We had a taste of a mini Luau complete with Hula dancing, cultural stories and Poi (made by us). Would highly recommend!
