Hawaiian Waikiki Catamaran Details
Kamoauli hosts 4 sailing tours per day, morning, two in the afternoon, and a sunset sail, in addition to offering private group sails and a private custom charter experience. All of their tours provide an enriching educational experience hosted through an indigenous perspective to honor Hawaii’s culture, history, land, and waters.
Their tours vary only slightly throughout the day, with the main difference being departure time. Kamoauli is the name of both their company and their vessel, which was designed and rebuilt in 2017 specifically for the purpose of sharing mo’olelo, the stories of Native Hawaiians. The allure of sailing with Kamoauli is their unique vessel, their support for the community, and the passion every crew member has for their mission.

About Kamoauli
Kamoauli started out as scribbles on a napkin in the center of three friends, and in 2017 turned into the 100 day rebuild of the H.M. Salote where the entire community volunteered their time to make their vision a reality. With a strong foundation of community, they invest in community land projects, and subsidize educational opportunities to schools so their culture, history, and appreciation of the land can be part of a wider educational experience.
