The guests staying at our Sugar Beach condo just called to say goodbye. This is their second (maybe third) time staying in our condo and I had the privilege of meeting them this time. I asked him what the highlight of this Maui trip had been. Turns out, he went for a paddle with the Maui Canoe Club the other day and ended up within 10 feet of a baby humpback whale and its mama! Wow. For the record, it is illegal to get within 100 yards of whales. However, humpback whales obviously may approach you.
Here is the website for the Maui Canoe Club - check them out, and if you want to go for a paddle too, you show up at 7am, sign a waiver, and if they have room, pay $10 and go (they have two trips, 7:30 and 8:30am and non-members go on a first-come first-serve basis). They have about 6 people per canoe and you will be paired with experienced paddlers.
This is something I definitely want to try!!Labels: adventure, Maui to-do, Sugar Beach 104
