Overview

Kamoauli is a locally owned, all-wood, double-hulled, traditional sailing vessel (wa’a kaulua) offering a one-of-a-kind native Hawaiian cultural and educational experience.

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.

    Frequently Asked Questions (8)

    Q: Will I get seasick on Polynesian Canoe Sunset Sail?

    A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
