The sun was shining, the wind was calm and there was a crazy abundance of turtles!! We had so much fun sharing that day with one another and the team at Maui Paddle Sports could... More

What a great was to spend a morning. 4 guests, 2 guides, six paddles and an outrigger. Several green turtles came to visit as we cruised up and down th Ka'anapali Coast. Delightful. Vae and Svar, our guides, couldn't have been friendlier and more helpful. Their enthusiasm was as if this was their first time (which we were sure it... More

Not only are Sule & Riese great guides, but great humans and very helpful. We weren't even on the Canoe trip. They rescued us when my wife got caught in the current while snorlking and was clinging to the face of a large black rock cliff. They gave her a life vest and then towed us back to shore. So... More

“Do not wait ...book now!”

Reviewed May 18, 2012

This experience is like no other. My cousin, a first time visitor and we, who have been to Maui many times, were totally delighted by the outrigger experience. Be sure to ask for George and Soule and you will not be disappointed. George is Hawaii born and shares his love of his culture joyfully and Soule shared a different perspective.... More

“MORE THAN A TOUR!”

Reviewed May 16, 2012

This is a wonderful morning on the ocean, not many people get to experience. It is a work out - but oh, so welcome after all the wonderful food and MiaTia's, but calming and just right for the mix in the canoe. The stories and lessons were so well presented, I felt Hawaiian. I made a suggestion to Angela Noland... More

We went out on the outrigger canoe this morning and had a delightful experience. Our guides Vai and Jamie were fantastic, personable, funny, and taught us a lot about the sport and the history of Maui. It couldn't have been better. We even got to see some whales and several sea turtles up close. I highly recommend it. You won't... More

Mark, Mahalo for the kind words! We are so excited that you were able to see some late season whales. It is even more exciting when we aren't expecting to see them. We also always appreciate how cooperative the green sea turtles are year round. They are always fun. Jaime, Vae and the whole MPS crew will be looking forward... More

Awesome experience! Mike and Spud were fantastic, as well as Amy, who signed us up. Went out with my wife and father-in-law and had a hoot! Saw turtles and learned a great deal about Polynesian/Hawaiian sea-faring history. Best part was finally getting in-sync and feeling the canoe move through the water like it was designed to do. We'll do again... More
