Hawaiian Sailing Canoe Adventure

Our adventure starts on Polo Beach in beautiful Wailea, Maui, where you will learn first hand about ancient Hawaiian sailing canoe tradition, construction, and navigation. We then launch the Hawaiian Sailing Canoe ‘Hina’ straight from the beach, just like the Hawaiians did in ancient times, and sail on the gentle Wailea breeze for a unique perspective on the island of Maui.

Almost always see all kinds of ocean life like turtles, dolphins, and whales while learning about this beautiful part of Hawaii where one can simultaneously see four of the Hawaiian Islands. Up for some action? Be part of the crew and learn how to paddle a canoe the Hawaiian way. Or rather just relax and take it all in? Lay out on our super comfortable trampolines and let the wind do all the work. Family owned and operated, we can only take up to six passengers at a time so you are guaranteed to have a very personal, intimate, and charming Maui ocean activity.

This is the most uniquely Hawaiian eco tour on Maui. Sail into Hawaii’s ancient past aboard the Hawaiian Sailing Canoe ‘Hina’. No where else on Maui can you sail aboard a Hawaiian Sailing Canoe or “wa’apea” with an experienced, knowledgeable crew born and raised right here in Hawaii paddling, sailing, surfing, and fishing.
