Great experience!
Had a great time outrigger canoeing with our knowledgeable guide! After a quick lesson, we spent most of the time out on the water paddling around the coastline. We surfed some waves in, paddled by some turtles and a seal, and took in the view. We took some breaks from paddling every now and then when the guide told us about the area and its history. We even got to jump out and swim for a little bit.
My kids, ages 10 and 8, had a great surfing experience with Fabio. He knew how to relate to them and get them comfortable with what was an entirely new skill. My son in particular is quite shy with adults, but Fabio was patient and earned his trust quickly.
Outrigger Canoe Cultural Tour
This tour was so much fun! It was one of the highlights of our trip to Maui. We learned so much from Captain Ekolu – he talked to us about everything (culture and history), including the importance of ocean conservation (protecting and respecting the reefs).
