Hawaiian Cultural Tour
The Hawaiian Cultural Tour departs from Kailua-Kona and takes place on the water along the Kona coast, giving participants a vantage point that land-based visits cannot offer. The tour focuses on the deep relationship between Hawaiian history, culture, and the ocean, covering subjects such as the ahupua'a land division system, traditional fishing methods, the kapu system and how it shaped daily life at sea, and traditional Hawaiian chants called oli. Stories are shared through oral tradition passed down through generations, and the route includes cultural and sacred sites along the coast. A private booking option is available for groups that prefer an exclusive experience. Because the tour runs on the ocean, it is weather dependent, so conditions can affect whether a trip goes out. Guests meet at the address on Kealakehe Parkway in Kailua-Kona.
