Q&A

Q: What should we wear for the outrigger canoe tour? Is there a dress code?

A: You’ll want to wear a swimsuit or quick-dry clothing since you might get splashed a bit! Also, don't forget sunscreen and a hat for protection from the sun. Water shoes are a good idea, too, since you’ll be getting in and out of the canoe on the beach.

Q: Is it safe for kids? What’s the age limit for the canoe tour?

A: Yes, it’s generally safe for kids! They recommend ages 5 and up, and younger ones can come along if they're in a parent’s lap. Just keep an eye on them, especially when boarding and disembarking. The guides are super friendly and experienced, which helps a lot.

Q: What if the weather is bad? Can we reschedule the tour?

A: If the weather looks sketchy, they’ll contact you to reschedule. They’re pretty flexible with that! Make sure to check their cancellation policy just in case. It’s usually best to book for early in your trip, so you have time to adjust if needed.

Thinking of gifting this outrigger canoe tour - anyone been?

I’m looking to gift the Hawaiian Outrigger Canoe Cultural and Turtle Tour to my partner for our anniversary! It sounds amazing, especially getting to see turtles and maybe even whales. I just wanna know how long the tour actually lasts. Also, should I be worried about being in the water? Not the best swimmer, lol!

Just did the outrigger canoe tour, and I loved it!

I recently went on the Hawaiian Outrigger Canoe tour in Maui, and it was absolutely worth it! Paddling along Wailea Beach and spotting turtles was incredible. The guides taught us a lot about navigating and Hawaiian culture. Just a heads up, wear something light and bring water! It can get hot out there!
