Maui Afternoon Whale Watch Sail on a Luxury Catamaran with Guaranteed Sightings, Lunch & Open Bar

Coolest venture I've ever done!

Reviewed by: Rachel Forrest

Let me just say Alii Nui treated everyone right even from the second we boarded the boat! A full spread of hors d'oeuvres and open bar - created a light, fun, exciting atmosphere . Captain Nick was great - awesome personality ! All the staff was super knowledgeable and very friendly. I'll say this- I could sail on this whale watching tour everyday and never get bored with it- it was that fun! Saw a mother and baby double breach too! Highly recommend whenever you're in Maui !

I couldn't see any whales at the beginning of the off-season... シーズンオフのはじまりでクジラは見れませんでした。。。

Reviewed by: Kana

As the season was coming to an end, I thought it might not be possible, and indeed, I couldn't see them. The staff kept searching around the sea, but it seems they weren't nearby.

However, I did receive a proper refund. I want to try again next time, so I gave it two stars with hope.

シーズンが終わりに近づいていたので、もしかしたらだめかも、と思っていましたが、やはり、見れませんでした。
ずっと海原をまわって、スタッフの片は探し続けてくれていましたが、近くにいなかったようです。

しかし、きちんと返金はしてもらえました。
次回チャレンジしたいので、期待をこめて星2つにしました。

It was bad weather, but... 悪天候でしたが…

Reviewed by: Hawaii

I don't understand English at all, but I was relieved that the tour details were provided in advance. However, on that day, the weather was bad with strong winds, and it rained partway through. The yacht was swamped by waves, and several passengers, including myself, experienced seasickness. The crew's response was good. We were able to see whales, so overall, I was satisfied with the experience.

This was a tour I was looking forward to on my first trip to Maui with my eldest son. It was a morning tour, and we were able to see a mother and baby whale at quite a close distance, which got us both very excited. I thought it would have been helpful to have an explanation about the parking, but I would like to participate again when I visit Maui next time.

今回、長男と2人で初めてのマウイ島旅行で楽しみにしていたツアーでした。朝からのツアーでしたが結構近い距離でクジラの親子を見ることができ、親子で大興奮でした。駐車場の説明があると助かったなぁと思いましたが、またマウイ島に行った時には参加したいと思います。

Fantastic!

Reviewed by: Silmara Grentz

Our captain Mark along with Nick and Emily made of this a fantastic experience. It was fun, great music, good food and more importantly we felt safe and taken care of the whole time. Getting on and off the catamaran at the beach was an interesting experience but it just added fun to the whole thing. Our tour was not packed and that added personalization from the crew. The snorkeling was beautiful. Saw turtles and so many different fishes.

This is my second time on this tour, and I'm very satisfied with the morning tour as it's cheaper. The check-in location is easy to find since there's only one small booth at the entrance of the main pier. The boat is quite large as it has two levels. Waking up early allows for a productive day.

The boat was an ordinary one. There was also a catamaran, but it seemed to be from a different company. The price was about $10 cheaper if purchased on-site. It was available even on the day of. In conclusion, it's better to go to the port on the day and buy the tickets.

The departure port was changed due to strong winds, but it was fun!! かなりの強風で出発する港は変更になったけど楽しかったです！！

Reviewed by: Ｎ．Ｙ．Ｍ

Since we were staying in Kaanapali, we had booked a departure from Kaanapali Beach. However, I had seen in a previous review from someone who had booked here that due to strong winds, the departure port was changed on the day of the trip. We received a call at our hotel room and headed to Lahaina Harbor. All the calls were in English, so I could somewhat understand, but I had the hotel’s Japanese desk contact them for confirmation. There was no Japanese guide on board, so all the explanations were in English, but we were able to see several whales. On the way back to the harbor, they played the theme song from Pirates of the Caribbean. We got quite wet, but if you sit in a spot that doesn't get splashed, you can stay relatively dry, so we had a great time. However, I think a jacket might be necessary. It’s fine while the sun is out, but when the sun goes behind the clouds or the wind blows, it can get quite cold, so I think it’s needed. We had fun with turkey sandwiches and Mai Tais!

カアナパリに宿泊していたので、カアナパリビーチ発を予約していたのですが、以前こちらで予約していた方の体験談の中に強風で、当日出発する港が変更になったというのを見ていて、私達の所にも、ホテルのルーム宛てに連絡が入りラハイナ港に向かいました。電話は全て英語だったので、何となく聞き取れたもののホテルの日本語デスクの方に連絡して頂き、再度確認して頂きました。日本人のガイドの方は乗っていないので、全て英語での説明でしたが、クジラも何頭か見れて、港に帰る時にはパイレーツオブカリビアンのテーマ曲を流してくれて、かなりお水をかぶりましたが、ちゃんと濡れない席にいればそんなに濡れずに済むので私達は楽しかったです。ただ、上着は必要かなと…。お日様が出ている間はいいですが、お日様が陰ったり風が吹くと、とても寒いので、必要かと思います。ターキーサンドにマイタイを手に楽しかったですよ～！！

In fact, I think it jumped about five or six times. It was incredibly impressive.

The Japanese staff were also kind, and they provided information about the announcements on board and the whales.

I was worried about seasickness, but I thought whale watching in Maui during winter was a must, so I participated. It seems to depend on the weather, but that day we were able to see whales breaching up close right away, and I quickly forgot my worries. They jumped several times in different places, so I was busy watching them. Since we had a Japanese guide during our time slot, we received detailed explanations about the whales' behavior and how to observe them, which made it even more interesting. I was more satisfied than I expected, and it truly became a wonderful memory.

船酔いが心配でしたが、冬場のマウイでホエールウォッチングははずせないと思い参加しました。
お天気に左右されるそうですが、その日はすぐに鯨のブリッジが間近に見ることができ、不安要素はすぐに忘れてしまうぐらいでした。
あちらこちらで何度もジャンプしてくれるので、見るのに忙しいぐらいでした。
私たちの時間帯は日本人ガイドさんがついて下さったので、鯨の生態や見方など詳しく説明してもらえ、さらに興味深く見ることができました。
期待以上に満足で、本当に楽しい思い出になりました。

Reviewed by: マウイ楽しかった

I participated in the morning cruise (around 9 AM). I had signed up for a Japanese tour, but unfortunately, it turned out to be an English tour. It seems there were many explanations about whales, but since I'm not fluent in English, I only managed to listen to "in the direction of ○ o'clock" f(^^;

February is the peak season, and as the local guide mentioned, "there are a lot of them," we could see spouts in various places. Unfortunately, we couldn't see any breaches like in the images, but we did catch glimpses of whales waving goodbye with their fins and their tails several times. Perhaps because it was a relatively large boat for whale watching, it seemed like we kept a certain distance from the whales and didn't get too close. This might be due to regulations regarding whales or safety considerations. I had hoped to see them a bit closer, but I guess it depends on luck. (Or maybe I should choose a tour with a smaller boat...?)

Fortunately, it was a calm day, and since I had taken motion sickness medication, I hardly noticed the rocking of the boat.

朝のクルーズ（9時台）に参加しました。
日本語ツアーを申し込んだのですが、残念ながら英語ツアーになりました。
鯨についての説明が沢山流れていたようですが、英語は堪能ではないので「○時の方向」というのだけ頑張って聴いていました f(^^;

２月はシーズンのピークで、ツアーの現地ガイドの方が「うじゃうじゃいます」とおっしゃっていた通り、あちこちで潮吹きしています。
画像にあるようなブリーチは残念ながらみることはできませんでしたが、遠目ながら鰭でのバイバイや、尾びれは何度かみることができました。
ホエールウォッチングツアーの中では比較的大きめのボートのせいか、あまり鯨に近寄らず、ある程度の距離を置くようにしていたように思えます。
鯨に対する規定や、安全に考慮しているのかもしれません。
もう少し間近に見ることができるのかと思っていましたが、そのあたりは運もあるのでしょうね。
（もしくはより小型の船のツアーを選ぶようにするか・・・？）

幸いなことに波が穏やかな日で酔い止め薬を飲んでいたこともあり、船の揺れはほとんど気になりませんでした。

This was my first time participating. It was a Japanese tour, but the explanations were thorough and easy to understand.
I heard that 70% of the whales from Alaska come to Hawaii, and 90% of those come to Maui.

Since they are living creatures, the chances of encountering them are quite unpredictable, but I think we saw quite a few. When I went on another snorkeling tour, I also saw many whales, so I believe that riding on the boat more than twice increases satisfaction.

I heard that the peak is in February.

初めて参加しました。日本語ツアーでしたが、説明が丁寧で分かりやすかった。
アラスカから7割のクジラがハワイにやってきて、そのうちの9割がマウイに来るそうです。

生き物なので出会える確率はなかなか読めないのですが、結構見られたと思います。
別のシュノーケリングツアーに出かけたときもたくさんクジラが見られたので、2回以上船に乗ると満足度が高いと思います。

ピークは2月だそうです。

I decided to book online the day before and received a confirmation by evening. I took my 10-month-old son with me, and the boat was large enough, so there were no issues. However, the chairs on the second deck are fixed and a bit cramped. We were able to see whales multiple times, which was satisfying. The early morning tour is reasonably priced and refreshing, so I highly recommend it. The English guide only mentioned which direction we were facing, so I think it’s not a problem.

I participated in the 7:30 English tour. I was able to see whales. I saw spouts and tails several times, and just as we were about to head back to the port, we spotted another whale in the distance. The boat headed towards it, and this time the whale jumped and even waved goodbye at the end. I was very satisfied, especially since jumping is not something you see every day. Additionally, on the way back, we also got to see dolphins jumping up close! I think the waves were relatively calm, but when we stopped to watch the whales, the boat swayed quite a bit as we turned to face the direction where the whales appeared.

波は穏やかな方だったのではないかと思いますが、クジラを見るために停まっているときは、クジラの出た方向へ船先をぐいっと向けるため、その際大きく揺れました。

Worthwhile if timing and cost are right

Reviewed by: mauinowie

Like most things on maui, they are expensive for what they are, especially the tourist items. We found a discount early bird package and I think w paid just under $50 for two of us. We also tipped the crew $5 and paid for our picture $20...like real tourists do. Both the top and particularly the picture were optional but I got roped into it. It was early in the season also, just the start of the whale season. We did spot a few whales but they were a bit far away and hard to see. We were able to see a few from shore as well, but of course, even farther away. the weather was flawless and there is no reason that I saw not to take the early morning package for the reduced price. I would definitely try to sit up front in the future, but we sat in the back. The issue being best view, but there is enough to look at with the sides and rear that even the back is more than tolerable. We took some photos, which only included little blips of whales off in the distance. I think I would target this venue for prime season to be sure to see more. My understanding is about 4000-8000 whales will congregate.. We saw maybe 5.
