Description

Sail, Snorkel, and Paddle the beautiful Wailea coast in a Hawaiian Outrigger Canoe. The tour includes snorkeling with sea turtles, seasonal whale watching, and learning Hawaiian history and culture. Cold water and snorkel gear are provided. Our adventure starts on Polo Beach in beautiful Wailea, Maui, where you will learn first hand about ancient Hawaiian sailing canoe tradition, construction, and navigation. We then launch the Hawaiian Sailing Canoe 'Ke Anuenue' straight from the beach just like the Hawaiians did in ancient times and sail on the gentle Wailea breeze for a unique perspective on the island of Maui.

Very unprofessional company. Buyer beware.

Horrible company. They had to cancel our appointment the first time due to wave conditions, but they never called us. I had to find out from Viator from calling them. Rescheduled and I'm sitting on the beach again with the same thing. Company is a no show. Viator tried to call them, since I don't have their number. No answer, so I'm stuck waiting here until Viator decides it warrants cancellation and a refund. I understand that wave conditions change and cancellations need to happen. What is not acceptable is being so unprofessional as to not contact us at all.

Sailing Canoe Experience

Really fun experience! I have been a sailor for many years and have been to Hawaii quite a few times, this was a Great time with Sage and his son Cru! Very personal experience as there were only two others on board. A little snorkeling stop was nice too. Sage told us some cool Hawaiian history that I wasn't aware of, made it even more interesting. Highly recommend low key fun thing to do.

Promised but not delivered unable to communicate properly! We booked this tour and it had to be canceled by the operator

We booked this tour and it had to be canceled by the operator due to weather. This is completely understandable but what was not understandable is that they promised immediate refund and we never received it. I’ve tried calling, emailing, dms but no response whatsoever. We love to support local businesses but it’s really bad business to not answer any emails or phone messages. Be wary of business with this company as they don’t stand behind their own verbal promises. I have given this company over a month to do the right thing but unfortunately the response has been silence so this is my only way to advocate for our lack of service.

Awesome experience

We had an amazing time. Experience of a lifetime for our kids (8/5/4). Being able to glide over the clear water and see all the sea life below makes this such a unique experience. Then to be able to just stop, jump off to snorkel and return made it an easy adventure. Sage provided history of the Island which was intriguing. Strongly recommend for any person or family. You truly are supporting local if you take this trip.

Fun, relaxing tour

We had a fun, relaxing morning on our Sailing Canoe tour! Sage had a lot of great stories ranging from Hawaiian history to personal anecdotes. We saw several turtles from the canoe and lots of fish while snorkeling.

Great way to snorkel and see the sea!

Really enjoyed our time on this excursion (2 adults and 1 teen). Thank you for a lovely morning! Great views and conversation with Sage. Had some surprising small world moments too. Enjoyed the snorkeling and felt comfortable with the canoe nearby. We also crossed paths with a turtle. We left our phones on the shore and it was fun to just enjoy the experience. Highly recommend Maui Sailing Canoe.

Fabulous experience!

Sage was fantastic and kids thought he was very cool too. We sailed, snorkelled and learned a ton. Would do this again in a minute! Thx a million.

Best Maui adventure

We had a great outing on this sail canoe. Sage was a great host who shared his stories of growing up in Hawaii and history of the canoeing in Hawaii. It was a leisurely sail and saw so many whales while we were out. We got to a spot where a mother and baby were close by so we dropped the sail to watch them at which point they came within feet of our boat. It was the most amazing whale watching experience. I highly recommend this adventure.
