What this is
Not a boat tour. A canoe ride.
You're not a passenger. You paddle. Our crew teaches you the strokes on the sand, then you push off together from the beach in front of the Westin Villas and follow the Kāʻanapali shoreline. Along the way we talk story: who Kahekili was, how our ancestors found these islands without a compass, what the reef below you is doing.
Turtles are common. Dolphins show up when they feel like it. In winter, humpbacks sometimes surface close enough to hear them breathe.
"I'm 73, female with limitations, and I would highly recommend this trip."
The canoe is stable and the crew does the heavy work when you need them to. Tripadvisor review.
Small groups. No upsells. No bus.
You walk down the beach, we hand you a paddle.
