Kainalu Ocean Sports at Mauna Lani
Venture to the sea
The timeless means once used to navigate Earth’s largest ocean are maintained by the world-class watermen and women of Kainalu Ocean Sports. Kainalu, or “ocean wave,” honors the eternal relationship between the mountain, “mauka,” and the sea, “makai.” Carrying on the ancient expertise of their Hawaiian elders, Kainalu links the practices of the past with the people of the present, imparting timeless wisdom to accompany your transformative journey via land or sea. As your outrigger canoe glides across the crystal clear waters, inching home towards Mauna Lani’s crescent of white sand beach, return to the soulful gathering place that is Surf Shack, where you, too, can share the memories you’ve made at Mauna Lani.

Mika, Our Cherished Four-Legged Host
A natural swimmer and overall athlete, Mika loves spending time with our Kainalu Pros at the Surf Shack. When she's not stand up paddle boarding along the coast, sipping a Mika Mai Tai at CanoeHouse, or talking story with Uncle Danny, Mika can be found mingling with guests from the Front Drive to the Great Lawn.
