From Reef to Canoe: Explore the Culture of the Shore
Join us for an engaging shoreline experience for guests of all ages, discovering the living classroom just steps from the resort. Guided by our cultural team, this interactive beach exploration highlights the natural and cultural elements that make Hawaiʻi’s coast so special. Along the way, you will learn about native plants such as the naupaka and its traditional uses, observe the ʻōpihi that cling to the rocks, and safely interact with marine life including sea urchins like the wana (pencil urchin) and uni. The experience continues with an introduction to the waʻa (Hawaiian canoe), where we share its parts, history, and importance in daily life across the islands. Blending hands-on discovery with storytelling, this experience offers a deeper appreciation for the connection between ocean, land, and culture.
