This adventure was a highlight of our trip. We loved stepping on the canoe right from the beach and sailing out on a beautiful day. Sage made the experience especially memorable by snorkeling with us and pointing out things we wouldn't otherwise have seen. He even found an octopus that he brought up from the sea floor for me to... More

This was our second time on the sailing canoe trip. We saw whales (one about 30 feet away) and had fun snorkeling. Sage is a very pleasant and knowledgable guide. I'd recommend this for everyone, particular for those who want a non-motorized experience on the water without the need to paddle a kayak. The sailing canoe is also a more... More

good guides and decent canoe ride. nothing all that special, but it's well worth the hour it takes to complete the ride. don't miss out, it's only an hour of your time. took the 7am spot and seemed to be good. was light out, but not hot. More

We chose this excursion as our only ocean trip during this year's visit to Maui. Sage responded to my voice mail inquiry within a day and was very easygoing and pleasant to book with. We chose the 10:00 sail since we were staying in Kaanapali which is about a 45 minute drive. We met Sage and his crew member on... More

My experience was so amazing, I had to do it again! From the aloha spirit Sage and Vene bring, to the organic experience of the canoe itself, to becoming alive in the ancient Hawaiian chants, I was brought on an authentic journey closer to the water, land, and sky than can be experienced in a large, impersonal boat with 150...

The canoe is cool to sail on and the guides are nice however it was very disappointing that we didn't really sail that far out from the shore. We could of just gone out on a kayak ourselves and saved almost $100 each! Perhaps it's worth it during Whale season to see Whales, but our experience was not so great!... More

I chose this because of the good reviews and because of the small group format. This was my first time snorkeling and it was a wonderful choice! Sage made sure that everyone was instructed and comfortable in how to snorkel. He really helped the small group come together by starting with introductions and pictures and shared a lot of knowledge... More

This is a must do excursion. The two guides are so informative about Hawaiian history and the Hawaiian sailing canoe and it just a peaceful and amazing adventure. There was alot of whale activity that day and we were able to get fairly close which was amazing. Our son (9) had a great time taking a turn at paddling. The... More

The sailing canoe adventure in Maui was one of my favorite activities during my first trip to Hawaii in October 2009. The scenery was gorgeous, the canoe ride was smooth and Sage and his sailing partner were interesting and fun, yet professional. I would definitely recommend this attraction to anyone looking for a great experience in Maui! More

The tour, led in July of 2009 by two excellent guides, was exhilarating. Feeling the wind in your hair and the salt spray on your face as you race across the water powered only by the wind and a paddle was amazing. We sailed to a wonderful snorkeling spot, with the tour providing all the gear. We swam quite near... More
