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.

Captain Robert and his lovely and kind staff were wonderful. This was a nice experience for my family. What is unique about this cultural boat ride is that the crew is dedicated to give you an authentic Hawaiian experience where you learn about the culture and life on Oahu, and Waikiki. We thoroughly enjoyed this trip and thank you Captain, and to the whole crew for your dedication to making it a heartfelt experience. Blessings and Mahalo.
