Canoe

Make A Splash Without Getting Wet!

by paddlepeeps on June 2, 2012

The old saying goes: “Different strokes for different folks” – meaning this world is full of individuals, each with their own personalities, opinions, hobbies and yes… fears.

If you’re traveling to Maui and have a fear of the water, this is your chance to conquer it! A Canoe Ride in Maui will help you face that fear with professional coaches, and a sturdy canoe to back you up. The best part is that you stay happily above the water, not even getting your hair wet! This little-at-a-time approach is a great way to slowly (but steadily) increase your confidence. Who knows, maybe after some time, you’ll forget your fear altogether.

But a journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step, so call us and book a Maui Canoe Ride today!

Some families and couples love Maui so much when they first visit, that they just HAVE to come again. They do whatever it takes: Timeshares, sacrificing “sick days” in exchange for more vacation time from work… anything that gets them on the island again. We don’t blame them for the effort! For those of you [...]

Hey! Slow Down…

May 30, 2012

Today’s adrenaline-soaked world is all about bigger and faster… and it seems that this message appears everywhere, especially when it comes to vacations. But we disagree…we like to remind ourselves that bigger and faster do not always mean “better”. To us, the choice between a theme park vacation and a Hawaii vacation isn’t really a [...]

Authentic Canoe Coaches

May 27, 2012

The Maui activities business has always been a strong source of commerce on this island. And as such, one sometimes encounters an activity company that is more passionate about the “business” than the activity itself. (Ever been on an activity lesson and thought your teacher could use a few lessons himself?). Well rest assured that’s [...]

Get Some Culture Without The Boredom!

May 25, 2012

Everyone is more receptive to learning when the classroom is fun! Think about it: how many times have you been part of a tour or group, but couldn’t wait for it to be OVER!? Perhaps the subject matter itself was boring, or maybe it was the tour guide that was stale… perhaps it was both!? [...]

Build Your Team in a Canoe

May 21, 2012

Corporate groups often travel to Maui as part of a reward for being top sellers, or to meet at a convention for their industry. But we hope it isn’t all work for these folks, and they get the chance to have some fun while they’re here! Bosses love these kinds of trips because it gives [...]

When in Rome (Or Maui)

May 10, 2012

There’s an old saying: “When in Rome, do as the Romans do” which is just another way of reminding travelers to always try the local flavor. We think it’s good advice! Traveling is meant to expand one’s horizons… and what better way to do that than to experience local culture? The canoe is perhaps one [...]

A different kind of lesson

May 5, 2012

It’s easy to see that a Maui Canoe Ride offers you lessons in culture, sport, and environment. But what you might not necessarily know – is that canoe paddling also helps bond you to your fellow paddlers, and teaches you the importance of teamwork and cooperation… and it can even teach you a little bit [...]
