THE WATERMEN LEGACY
In Hawaiian culture, there is a profound connection between the `aina (land) and the ocean. Hawaiians believe water was a gift from the akua (God), the unending source of life. Dating back thousands of years, ancient Polynesians likely created this foundation during their epic voyage as they set out into open seas and the unknown, eventually discovering the Hawaiian Islands.
These voyagers were the world’s very first watermen. Using ocean navigation known as "wayfinding," based on sea and sky observations, the Polynesians crossed the vast Pacific long before western seafarers. Today, watermen and women still exist, demonstrating their exceptional skills in big wave surfing,swimming, navigating, paddling, free diving, and search and rescue.
With a breathtaking backdrop overlooking the alluring Pacific Ocean, Four Seasons Resort Oahu at Ko Olina plays tribute to the legendary watermen of past and present at the well-appointed Waterman Bar & Grill. Sip, savour and weave your own stories of the day’s epic adventures at this beachfront bar.
Do as the locals do
With their deep sense of pride for the island, Oahu natives make great teachers for authentic Hawaiian activities. Learn to surf, stand-up paddle board (SUP) or hike to a historical peak to make your time on Oahu more memorable.
