Olukai Ho'olaule'aHo‘olaule‘a is a Hawaiian word meaning celebration, and in the case of Maui’s Olukai Ho‘olaule‘a it’s a celebration both of the ocean and of the cultures of the Islands. This two-day festival brings together elite paddlers eager to take on the legendary 8-mile Maliko downwind run. And it also attracts families who come to watch the races and enjoy traditional Hawaiian games, luau, hula and live music.

Leave it to Hawai‘i to blend serious competition with serious fun.
