Wa'a Rides and Charters - Hawaiian Outrigger Canoe Excursions

About this activity

Paddling a Hawaiian Outrigger Canoe or Wa'a from the site where King Kamehameha united the Hawaiian Islands and watched over his kingdom is a chance to connect with the Hawaii's history and culture. We teach you the basics of paddling a Wa'a and provide a steersman/woman to guide you through a historical tour of Kailua Bay, sharing some of the significant sites and events of the area. One of our absolute favorite activities to provide and a traditional way to experience Hawaii.
