Highlights

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.

About Oahu

Oahu pairs Waikiki's famous beach and Honolulu's city life with volcanic craters, rainforest valleys and the legendary surf of its North Shore.

Waikiki's crescent of sand, backed by hotels and the volcanic crater of Diamond Head, is the island's classic image, and the hike to the crater rim gives sweeping views. Downtown Honolulu holds ʻIolani Palace, home of Hawaiʻi's last monarchs, and the memorials at Pearl Harbor, including the USS Arizona Memorial, recall the attack of 1941.

Top-ranked sights in Oahu: Diamond Head, Waikiki Beach, Dole Plantation.
