Description:

Hop into the seat of a traditional outrigger canoe to explore Hawaii's crystal clear waters. Your authentic excursion lets you uncover the history of this fascinating watercraft, used by the island's ancestors for hundreds of years.

Head to Keauhou Bay to meet up with your guide and get an introduction to your 45-foot (14-m) outrigger canoe. Find out how the floats on either side offer stability in ocean waves, and learn how to paddle together with up to 5 fellow travelers before you hit the water and set out toward the Pacific Ocean.

Uncover the tricks and techniques to efficient paddling and keep an eye out for fascinating marine life swimming below as you cruise gentle swells powered by a warm, tropical breeze. Along the way, your local guide shares a bit of history about the island and how outrigger canoes were essential for trading, transportation, and exploration. When your arms start to get tired, tuck your paddle in and turn back toward shore for a graceful landing back on the beach.
