Four Ways to Get on the Water

The Mana Va'a
Experiences

Mana Va'a Outrigger Canoe Club runs traditional Polynesian canoe trips along this stretch of coast — a short reach from Playa de Pesca and easy to fold into any day of your stay. Experiences are arranged subject to availability.

Signature Trip
Polynesian Canoe Paddling
Ride a traditional outrigger canoe along the edge of the coastline, gliding past the national park with guides who know these waters well.
Golden Hour
Sunset Canoe Trip
Paddle out as the light drops, stop along the way, and watch the sun go down over the Pacific with a coconut in hand.
After Dark
Bioluminescence Tour
A night paddle where the water lights up with every stroke. One of the most talked-about experiences on this coast, and worth doing solo or with company.
Work the Body
Rowing & Fitness Paddle
Morning paddles toward Cabo Blanco Reserve on glassy water — a real workout dressed up as a scenic tour, with wildlife along the way.
