My husband and I had an amazing time with Randy as our guide! We ended up having a private tour because the rest of the group that was signed up didn't show. We learned about the art of Polynesian wayfinding, saw turtles and whales, listened to the whales, and most importantly, had the chance to talk story with our new friend. Once we are able to safely return to Maui, we will come visit again. I'll recommend this outrigger canoe tour to any traveler who is looking for an authentic and exciting experience, even if there is a full canoe :)

Kevin was so welcoming and informative. We really enjoyed learning about Hawaiian history and culture. We also enjoyed getting out on the water and paddling while enjoying the beautiful scenery and some turtles. We had such a great time and would recommend it to anyone!

This is by far one of the best experiences we have had in Wailea and we’ve been vacationing here for 35 years. Such a great combination of Hawaiian history and seeing beautiful marine life. Everyone should do this!
