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.

Q&A

Q: Can you reschedule if the weather looks bad for the Polynesian Canoe Sunset Sail?

A: Yes, you can reschedule if the weather doesn’t cooperate. Kamoauli will reach out to you if conditions aren’t safe for sailing. They’re really great about keeping you in the loop and finding a new date that works for you!

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

A: You’ll want to wear something comfortable and casual. Think shorts or light pants and a t-shirt. It can get a little breezy on the water, so maybe bring a light jacket too. Flip-flops are fine, but something more secure might be better since you’re on a canoe.

Q: What age is good for kids? Can my 5-year-old join us on the sail?

A: All ages are welcome! As long as your 5-year-old is with an adult, they should have a blast. The crew is super friendly and engages everyone, even the little ones. Just keep an eye on them since it's a canoe!

Just got back from the Polynesian Canoe Sunset Sail!

OMG, this experience was amazing! We sailed along Waikiki, and the views were just breathtaking. The crew was super engaging and taught us about Hawaiian culture. The poi pounding was definitely a highlight, and the music really set the mood for sunset. We even got to sample some traditional food that was delicious! Highly recommend this for anyone looking for a unique experience in Oahu.

Considering getting the Polynesian Canoe Sunset Sail as a gift!

Hey everyone! I'm thinking about gifting this experience for my parents' anniversary. They love cultural experiences and are traveling to Oahu. Has anyone done this and can share their thoughts? I want to make sure it’s worth it!
