Immerse in the spirit of traditional Hawaiian culture with Holly and Iko from Anelakai Adventures on the waters of Keauhou Bay on the Island of Hawaiʻi.
Guests paddle a traditional Waʻa Kaulua (Hawaiian Double Hull Canoe) along the scenic Kona Coast, connecting with the ocean just like Hawaiians have for generations. Guided by your local hosts, the journey blends gentle adventure with stories of place, culture and the deep relationship between people and the sea.
As you paddle together across the calm bay, you’ll gain insight into traditional Hawaiian values of living in harmony with nature. There’s also time to snorkel in the clear Pacific waters and enjoy locally sourced snacks and refreshments back on board.
Powered by paddles rather than engines, this eco-friendly experience offers an authentic and low-impact way to explore the coastline while learning about Hawaiʻi’s voyaging traditions, history and enduring spirit of aloha.
