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.

My favorite activity we did on the island, guides were amazing and knowledgable. It was a very intimate experience and it was beautiful to learn about the culture from locals while enjoying a traditional dinner, rainbows and sunset! Hands down a great time!

Amazing experience! Great for learning about the culture with stories and activities and educational moments. Beautiful views out in the ocean with the opportunity to see turtles and dolphins. We ended up seeing a sea turtle while out. My 3 year old was very nervous at first but once we got going she opened up with the help of the tour operators and everyone helped her feel comfortable and got her engaged and involved.
