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.

Q&A

Q: What should we wear for the Polynesian Canoe sail? Is it casual or more formal?

A: Great question! Definitely keep it casual. A swimsuit under shorts or a sundress works well. Don't forget a hat and sunscreen since you'll be out on the water. If it gets cool, a light jacket can be handy, but usually it's pretty warm in the morning. Also, wear something you don’t mind getting a bit wet!

Q: Are kids able to participate? What's the age limit?

A: Yes! Kids of all ages can join in, but any minors must be with an adult. It’s a great experience for families, and the cultural activities are super engaging for kids. Just keep an eye on younger ones since you’re out on the ocean.

Q: What happens if the weather is bad? Can we reschedule?

A: If the weather doesn't cooperate, they will work with you to reschedule. It's always worth checking the forecast ahead of time. They’re super friendly and understanding—just reach out to them if you have concerns!

Just did the Polynesian Canoe sail - amazing experience!

We just got back from our morning sail on the Kamoauli, and wow! The views of Waikiki were stunning. The crew was super knowledgeable and shared so much about Hawaiian culture. We even made our own poi and got to try traditional pupus! Perfect for anyone who loves the ocean or wants to learn something new. Highly recommend it!

Thinking of gifting the Polynesian Canoe experience!

I’m thinking about getting this canoe sail for my partner's birthday. He loves sailing and anything Hawaiian! Just wondering if anyone thinks this is a good gift idea? I really want something memorable but also fun. Any tips?
