2-Hour Kaanapali Sunset Cocktail Cruise with Open Bar & Appetizers - Sea Maui
Sunset cruise in Maui
Activity Date: 2021/07/20 | Posted on: 2021/07/22

This was absolutely one of the best 2 hours we spent in Maui! The staff on board was truly fantastic and the live music was delightful! All of this despite losing my phone overboard. ‍♀️

Ocean Spirit Sunset Cruise with Appetizers & Seasonal Whale Watching Experience
Nice, short cruise with friendly crew
Activity Date: 2021/06/29 | Posted on: 2021/07/11

This is a nice 2-hour sunset cruise. The crew was very friendly and professional while being fun. The appetizers were a little fancy but just ok-tasting. The drinks, too, were ok. There was also live music by a singer who played an instrument. He was pretty good.

Based on our experience, this cruise is suitable for anyone, including for families and couples. We had a mix of both. Everyone had their own seat but we could move about as we wanted during the cruise.

We had a really nice time. The staff was helpful and friendly and overall, we would give it a good review. The musician was awesome and fun and added to the experience, for sure. The food and drinks were just so-so but we still had a good time. Thanks

We have seen whales before but we have never seen them jump. Our wish came true. This was the end of the season and the captain and staff did a good job and put us on the whales. The narrator and naturalist did a great job.

Uneventful trip

We have had years of whale watch trips. Some were spectacular and others were just OK. This trip was OK. Not much activity from the whales. We normally go out on catamarans but this was a very large boat.

We had a great time aboard Pacific Whale Foundation Whale Watch Cruise. The crew was very friendly and knowledgeable.. the boat was clean, and crew wiped down common areas during the cruise. We all wore masks and social distanced.. I felt comfortable and completely safe. Our Naturalist was friendly and answered all our questions. We saw mothers and babies and some with an escort. We had a wonderful day, the sun was shining and weather was beautiful. I would highly recommend this activity. Making the reservation was an easy process too.Thank you, Hawaii Activities and Pacific Whale Foundation for a memorable day!!

Our group of five enjoyed every minute of the cruise. Crew and captain were wonderful and attentive. Whales were around us constantly. Fun music and yummy food and drink. Champagne and chocolate covered strawberries at sunset was the perfect ending. We will definitely do this again.

It was better than I imagined.
想像以上に良かった。
Activity Date: 2020/03/14 | Posted on: 2020/03/16

I would have preferred a Japanese guide. Also, after the big jump right in front of us, we were able to see the baby whale do about 10 small jumps over the course of 30 minutes, which was better than I imagined.

日本語ガイドの方が良かったです。また、目の前での大ジャンプの後、子供クジラが30分ぐらいの間に10回ぐらい小ジャンプも見れて、想像以上に良かったです。

Thanks to the Japanese guide, we were able to enjoy ourselves with small children without any worries. Since it was right in the middle of the season, we were able to see whales up close.

日本人ガイドが付いてくれたおかげで、小さい子供連れでも安心して楽しめました。シーズン真っ只中と言う事もあり、間近でクジラを見る事が出来ました。

If I have the opportunity to stay on Maui again, I would definitely like to rely on you!

We had a Japanese guide with us, and we were able to see a lot of whales! I wanted to see them a bit closer, but it's all about luck. I tend to get lost at the meeting point, so I went to check it out early, but it wasn't open. That made me a bit anxious.

日本人のガイドさんもついていただき、クジラは沢山観れました!
もう少し近くで観たかったけれど、それもこれも運ですね。
集合場所いつも迷子になるので、早めに一度観に行ったのですが、空いておらず。
