Aloha, we are proud to be a Hawaiian owned business. We are permitted to run cultural ocean activities in the state of Hawaii. Our Captains and crew are certified, safety is our #1 priority. Learn about our culture in a true authentic way. We hand built all our Hawaiian sailing canoes, much like our ancestors did thousands of years ago. This activity combines the adventure of sailing the beautiful blue green waters of our islands and the unique cultural experience of sailing on a vessel that has been used by Hawaiians for generations. Great for all levels of experience, kid friendly. While on board, you will learn about the area, how Hawaiians used these vessels, sit back and relax or paddle along with us. We also have kayaks, stand up boards and snorkel gear. Mahalo for supporting Hawaiian owned businesses.
