Discover Keauhou Bay: A Journey Through Hawaiian History and Culture
Step into the heart of Hawaiian heritage with our one-hour guided tour of historic Keauhou Bay. Led by our passionate cultural advisors, you’ll explore the area’s rich history, from the birthplace of King Kamehameha III to the stories of the legendary Battle of Kuamoʻo.
Begin your day at 9 a.m. at the Hawaiian Koa Canoe, Alapiʻi, on display in the lobby of the OUTRIGGER Kona Resort & Spa, and set sail aboard the traditional Hawaiian canoe, Kinikini. As you glide through Kona’s waters, we’ll retrace the footsteps of Hawaiian royalty and warriors and uncover the deep connections between the land, sea, and people.
Whether you’re a history buff or simply curious, this experience offers a chance to immerse yourself in Hawaiian culture and gain a deeper appreciation for the island’s complex past. We look forward to sharing the stories of Keauhou Bay and the aloha spirit that continues to thrive here.
