        Description

        As the only U.S. Coast Guard-certified Polynesian wa'a kaulua, Kamoauli is unlike any other vessel in the world! This gorgeous wooden double-hulled canoe was built in Tonga for the King’s use. It has been lovingly renovated to provide you with a taste of a different time when ocean-faring people traveled the waters of Polynesia.

        These canoe sailing expeditions feature sweeping views of the island while you relax on deck with ukulele music and listen to a local expert “talk story” about Hawaiian history, legends, and local culture. Sip a cool drink while gentle trade winds fill the sails. Your guide will highlight local landmarks and ancient places significant to Hawaiian culture. You may even learn a traditional chant! The quiet serenity of it all will leave you completely relaxed.

        Frequently Asked Questions

        • What Should I Bring Aboard The Boat?

          Towel, sunscreen, hat, sunglasses, camera, and a warm cover-up are recommended. Slippers or sneakers are fine, but you will spend most of your time walking barefoot while on-board.
        • Is Your Crew Trained In First Aid And Emergency Response?

          Yes, our captains and crew take Coast Guard-certified first aid and emergency response courses.
        • What Are The Chances That The Trip Will Be Canceled Due To Poor Weather Or Sea Conditions?

          If the captain feels the weather will affect the safety of our guests, then they will cancel the cruise and guests receive a full refund. Also, staff will do their very best to have you rescheduled on another cruise before you return home. Tropical weather is known for quickly passing rain showers and changing weather conditions. Because of this, our captains address weather concerns on the day of the cruise.
        • Is There An Age Requirement?

          This tour is designed for the whole family.
