About this activity

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.

What a great experience!! If you are looking for a canoe and snorkel experience on a more personal level, this is the perfect option. The crew was warm, friendly, WELL experienced, and incredibly knowledgeable about the islands. Our party of 2 were the only ones on board. I enjoyed the tranquility of the tour, and the option to just sit back and relax was a welcomed surprise. I will definitely book this experience again!

Real sailing and excellent crew

It was a perfect day for our family of 4 to sail on this beautiful boat. No crowds, no engine fumes. Excellent crew and REAL SAILING! We stopped for some snorkeling and learned about Hawaiin culture and natural history. In the past, we've sailed with Trilogy and others-this was way better-going to go again soon! Highly recommended.

Great Sailing and Snorkeling Morning

Super fun and intimate sailing and snorkeling adventure. Sage was very knowledgeable and it was a lovely morning. Suitable for all ages and ability levels. Our five year old grandson got to snorkel and swim with a turtle - it was the highlight of his trip. Will definitely book this again next time we are in Maui.

Great experience.

Really nice experience. I’m not a water person so I did not snorkel but everyone else in our group did; those that snorkels said it was so so. We did not see any turtles and they said they saw some fish. We all Enjoyed the history/background information shared. Tour guide/owner is very knowledgeable and personable. Helpful pointers: in my haste to put finishing touches on our travel plans I mis read the tour description and thought we would all be participating in rowing the canoe. That is not the case. Just the tour guide rows/sails. We enjoyed our experience nonetheless. Polo beach parking/entrance is past the Fairmont; Apple Maps had us turn into the Fairmont when we plugged in the address. Parking is paved and shady and there are public restrooms here. The tour operator provides a lockbox on the beach for anything you don’t want to take out on the boat. There is also a very small dry box on the boat for phones etc. we brought sunglasses, hats, waters and a GoPro w us onto the boat. You sit on catamaran style nets on your sail; be sure to apply plenty of sunscreen. They do provide all snorkel gear, towels, noodles and life vests if you like. Overall, if you are looking for a sail/snorkel experience this one was very intimate (our group included our family of 4, another family of 2 plus the tour guide and his assistant/daughter) and you get great insight and info from a real local.

Awesome experience

We had an EXCELLENT experience with Sage on his sailing canoe. He and his crew were expert sailer/paddlers. When we got out to snorkel he got in as well showing us where to look and pointing out interesting sea life. It was our kids first time and he helped them to feel comfortable and confident. A must do when in Maui!

Sail and snorkel.

Great time with Sage, the owner. It was fun to be on the boat and snorkel off of land. Good time for family of 4. Perfect, low key for kids.
