Whale Watch Sail around Maui

Join us for an unforgettable encounter with Maui’s most cherished visitor, the majestic humpback whale. The warm, welcoming waters off West Maui are a favored retreat for these incredible creatures. Delight in selections from our premium open bar as you marvel at the whales breaching, tail-slapping, and playing in their natural paradise.

Each year, Maui’s warm, inviting waters become a sanctuary for majestic humpback whales as they migrate from Alaska to breed, give birth, and nurture their young. From December to April, these gentle giants grace our shores, offering a breathtaking display of acrobatics, from powerful breaches to graceful tail slaps. Witnessing these magnificent creatures up close from the comfort of a catamaran is a truly awe-inspiring experience that connects you to the beauty and wonder of Maui’s natural world.
