Día de Canoa Polinesia Vela

Become a Voyager on this historic, authentic vessel! Crewmates Jay, Jasmine and Olivia are perfect and able companions as you embark on this journey that is informative, fun and, frankly, joyful.

Fantastic cruise; a real taste of Hawaiian/Polynesian culture! Highly recommended for anyone who would like to see the Waikiki shoreline and enjoy a fantastic educational experience. The crew and guides were very knowledgeable and welcoming. I’ve traveled the world and have done many local tours; this ranks right up in the top 5! Captain was very professional and ensured we had a safe and enjoyable adventure. Don’t waste your time with the party cruises…this is a much better experience and more Hawaiian than many of the other touristy cruises. A MUST DO for families, solo, and couples during your stay in Oahu!

Very unique….Very informative and fun. Loved every bit of it. The crew was incredible! It was a combination of pure relaxation, education, and fun all in one.

Great time with the family. Very educational and unique experience! Our family really enjoyed our time on this historical boat!!

We had such a wonderful time on this sail. We booked very late and didnt think we would find a spot. We were the only 2 booked and they made the trip anyway. we learned such a great deal and everyone should do it!

It was a fantastic trip for us. Great way to enjoy the beauty of Hawaii and learn about its history and culture.

I booked a private sail with Kamoauili Sailing on March 19, 2024, for a trip scheduled on June 16, 2024, at 11 am. Less than 24 hours before our scheduled sail, at 4:36 pm on June 15, 2024, I received an email stating that they would not be sailing because it was Father's Day on June 17. They suggested calling to reschedule. This last-minute cancellation was extremely unprofessional and left us in a very difficult position. With our entire trip planned and finalized, and our departure from Hawaii set for June 18, we had no flexibility to reschedule. Such short notice made it impossible to rearrange our plans or find an alternative. This kind of service is unacceptable, especially considering the significant time and financial investment involved in booking a private sail. I understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise like bad weather, injury or sickness, but this was a clear case of poor planning and communication on their part. I would advise others to be cautious when booking with them.

Favorite part of our trip. Small, intimate tour and very educational and insightful into Hawaii and its culture and people.

This was an amazing experience where my wife and I were able to learn about Hawaiian language, Hawaiian culture we were able to make and eat Hawaiian food. Sailing out to diamond head on, and authentic ship built for the king of Tonga we relaxed and enjoyed some good Hawaiian music. Sailing back we had lots of cultural activities. I especially enjoyed all the history. My wife and I made bracelet leis for each other, which we are now probably wearing around the beach. You will not be disappointed!

This is by far the most amazing experience we have had in Hawaii! The crew of four went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed as they taught us about traditional culture and customs of the native Hawaiian peoples. We learned how to prepare and then eat taro, made traditional bracelets for each other, and learned about the history of slack stringed guitars and the Hawaiian sound just to start. We saw dolphins and sea turtles while drinking coconut water with Diamond Head in the background. When it was it started to cloud over and rain, they immediately provided us with blankets. When it cleared up and was warmer, colder water was provided. So thoughtful!! Such a perfectly Hawaiian experience all around!! I can’t say enough good things!
