Gathering paddlers from across the globe, the event features half day-long races organized by the Kai 'Opua Canoe Club, a member of the Big Island's Moku O Hawaii Outrigger Canoe Racing Association and one of the oldest outrigger canoe clubs in Hawaii.

Sunday, meanwhile, will be marked by double hull canoe races for men and women, as well as one- and two-person races, single hull races for teens with three new divisions, and a Standup Paddleboard Race.
The Queen Lili’uokalani Race ends with the Ali’i Challenge, a 17.5 mile race for 12-member crews, featuring two triangle courses as well as a land portion with tasks that will require knowledge of Kailua-Kona and Kamakahonu history and culture.
But one does not need to be part of a canoe crew to enjoy, explains Harold Clarke, Founder of LuxuryBigIsland.com and Owner-Partner of Windermere/C and H Properties. “With your entire family, you can find a good spot to view the race, and see race participants from around the world compete against each other in an awe-inspiring exotic setting.
