Kinikini

Kinikini  is a 40' double hulled fiberglass canoe.  She serves as our mother ship on destination sails.  Kinikini is unique in that she can be paddled, sailed or moved along with her 20 HP outboard motor.  When not escorting Nā Pe'a  or serving as a floating classroom for our He Hawaiʻi Au program, Kinikini works for Eka Canoe Adventures conducting chartered educational sails, manta ray dives and snorkeling trips out of Keauhou Bay. In 2021 Kinikini became the first Hawaiian Canoe using traditional Lashings to be accepted as a Documented Vessel by the United States Coast Guard. The 10 year process was a mile stone in getting the Coast Guard to acknowledge the durability and seaworthiness of traditional Hawiian canoe practices.
