Premium Sunset Cruise with 4-Course Dinner, Cocktails & Seasonal Whale Watching

Windy and just ok.

Reviewed by: S and S

Sunset cruise was very windy. Sunset was beautiful. Meal was ok at best. Value for your money was not there. Crew did a great job under the conditions.

It was very good! とてもよかったです!

Reviewed by: ひでもみ

I was able to see many whales. The light meal (cinnamon roll, fruit, and one drink included) was also delicious.

たくさんのクジラに会えました。
軽食(シナモンロール、フルーツ、ワンドリンク付き)も美味しかったです。

Tips and suggestions

The parking situation is complicated. I went to check it out in advance, but I wasn't quite sure and felt anxious, so I used the parking lot of the adjacent aquarium. The foreign travelers who were on

Tips and suggestions

駐車場が難解です。事前に確認に行ったのですがイマイチわからず不安だったので、隣接する水族館の駐車場を利用しました。同じ船に乗った外国人の方たちも駐車場がよくわからないと言っていました。

Eye-Level Whale Watch Tour from Mala Boat Ramp - Hawaii Ocean Rafting [Dec-Apr]

AMAZING!!!! Totally Worth it!!!

Reviewed by: Neeha

I absolutely loved this tour. I did go on a whale watching tour before but this one really is the best for me. We did an early morning tour & we were only a small group of 11 passengers on the raft. It almost felt like a private tour. The crew was super fun, they shared a lot of information about whales & were very happy to answer any question. Of course the main part, we saw whales!!! :) we saw them so up close & it was one of best experiences in my life. We had multiple whale sightings & we were also lucky to hear some of the whales sing. I am so glad we did an early morning tour the weather was perfect, we got to enjoy the sunrise, watch whales jumping out of the blue waters the perfect Maui vacation we wanted. It was a amazing & a totally next level experience for me. Thank you!!!

This was a standard whale watching experience. Boat was nice and clean. Crew was friendly and fun . We didn’t have much luck seeing whales, but it was early in the migration season. If nothing else then it a a nice boat ride around beautiful Maui.

This was a great cruise! The team onboard was extremely friendly and engaging! Cocktail election was perfect and appetizers were on point! Although it gives you the choice to book with kids, I would caution taking kids who are under the age only because the group of passengers were clearly there for a good time.

Incredible experience!

Reviewed by: Jana

We had an amazing experience on the sunset raft whale watching excursion. Our guides, Luke and Nick, were superb and told us so many facts about the whales. They were attentive to both my teenagers and my 9 year old, providing them with snacks and drinks and making sure that they had a great experience. We saw whales breaching and babies swimming close to the raft. It was the highlight of our trip.
