Overview

Experience Maui’s magnificent humpback whales on a 2-hour whale watch aboard a sailing catamaran in the ʻAuʻau Channel, home to one of Hawaii’s greatest concentrations of humpbacks. Morning conditions often bring smooth seas as you watch for breaches, spy-hops, spouts and mothers with calves. Our highly rated crew shares fascinating insights into whale behavior and marine life while providing exceptional, personalized service. Then experience what makes Sail Maui different. The motors turn off and the sails take over, leaving only the sounds of the wind, water and whales. Hear the powerful exhale of a nearby whale, the splash of a breach or the slap of a tail. Sometimes the most magical part of whale watching isn’t just seeing them. It’s hearing them. • Sail from newly reopened Lahaina Harbor, skip the drive to Maalaea • Cold beverages and snacks included • Spectacular views of Maui and the outer islands • An unforgettable experience to share together
