Our family of 4 went out with Sage. He was really knowledgeable and very good at handling the boat. Snorkeling was excellent and we saw 2 turtles. Parking at Polo Beach was easy and you can do an outdoor shower and change clothes afterwards. Highly recommend!

Sage is an amazing guide. We had some apprehension given the size of the canoe, but I can say this was my absolute favorite excursion during our week in Maui. His stories and history of the islands coupled with his mastery of all types of watercraft made us feel super comfortable. We were able to snorkel, see whales up as legally close as possible and swim with turtles. Two fantastic hours! Thank you, Sage!

This trip exceeded expectations. Saje is a trove of knowledge and made us feel comfortable. Great snorkeling with many different types of beautiful fish. My husband and I were lucky, and we even saw some turtles.

Highlight of our trip!! Our guides Brody and Sage are fantastic people and shared a ton of great information.

Simply incredible experience in beautiful Maui. Sage and his coworker Chris were very friendly and showed us a great time. The other couple in the trip with us were very fun as well. We all got lucky and saw several whale jumps right in front of us. We then sailed around a bit, circled a yacht to get a closer look, then sailed back to the starting point. We were all so amazed at the whale sightings that we blew off snorkeling. However, they would have stopped had we said yes. Both Sage and Chris said our whale sightings were a treat and we feel very lucky to have witnessed them. Thanks guys for an awesome experience.

Vene and Chris were great! Vene taught us so much about Hawaiian/Polynesian culture, which was even more special as my husband and daughter are part Hawaiian. We were able to see several whales while relaxing in beautiful Maui - so peaceful. Highly recommend, would definitely do again!

This was the best experience we had in Maui! The whole family loved it! Sage was a wealth of knowledge about Hawaii and its history. Him and his son were great sailors. This was so much better than a large boat, so relaxing and so close to the water. Snorkeling was a blast, you could hear the whales talk underwater and above. We also got incredibly lucky to have a whale surface like 30 feet from the vessel 😊😮. When we ever get back to Maui this is the one tour I would definitely do again. Thank you Sage and Cru!

This was a fantastic experience! I would highly recommend it. My kids, ages 6, 9 & 12, loved it. Very knowledgeable and friendly guide.

Thank you Sage and Vene for an unbelievable experience. It was a once in a lifetime memory for my children , the Ash scattering ceremony was everything and more than I could have Imagined. A private charter is the only way to go. Mahalo !!
