About Maui Sailing Canoe
Maui Sailing Canoe is a Kihei, Hawaii operator offering authentic outrigger canoe experiences along the Wailea coast. Launches depart from Polo Beach and focus on combining coastal sailing, paddling, snorkeling, and cultural context. Tours are presented on a traditional Hawaiian outrigger canoe, emphasizing the seafaring techniques and sailing traditions that have connected island communities for generations.
The operation offers two primary experiences: the Sail, Paddle, and Snorkel Tour and a Private Tour. Both experiences include snorkeling opportunities with sea turtles, seasonal whale watching when in season, and interpretive insights into Hawaiian history. The Private Tour is a two-hour option designed for groups seeking a more intimate outing along the Wailea shoreline. All departures use Polo Beach as the launch point, providing convenient access from Kihei and surrounding South Maui areas.
Trips highlight marine wildlife viewing, coastal scenery, and cultural interpretation while using a stable outrigger platform for paddling and snorkeling. Reservations are encouraged to secure preferred dates and times. Maui Sailing Canoe’s combination of traditional sailing, guided snorkeling, and seasonal whale watching creates a focused, culturally grounded coastal experience for visitors who want hands-on time on the water and a direct connection to Hawaiian maritime practices.
