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.

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.

Great small group experience. - Loved the small boat experience with Sage and his daughter. The snorkeling was fantastic (we saw turtles and enjoyed a huge coral head) . We also liked that Sage shared so much history and cared to spend time sharing with us.

Really unique Maui experience - Our family of 4 went out with Sage. He was really knowledgeable and very good at handling the boat. Snorkeling was excellent and we saw 2 turtles. Parking at Polo Beach was easy and you can do an outdoor shower and change clothes afterwards. Highly recommend!
