Excellent!!

Great time! Great crew! They call it appetizers, but it’s a meal. Even the drinks were superb. Fortunate enough to see one of the last whales of the season. Highly recommended! Would do again!

My husband and I did the sunset cruise on my birthday during our trip to Maui and I highly recommend it. The staff were amazing and made sure all of the guests were well taken care of. The views were unbelievable. The food and drinks were abundant and tasty. We would definitely do it again if we make it back to Maui.

2-Hour Sunset Sips & Bites Sail with Open Bar - Alii Nui Luxury Catamaran

Great Experience!!!

Reviewed by: Petrie

Great crew. We were the only couple not affiliated with the Marriage celebration folks who filled up the rest of the seats/catamaran. Instead of the usual dinner of our last sunset cruise 2 years ago, the celebration had them do gourmet appetizers. The sponsor of the celebration greeted us and talked to us. The crew worked hard but happily caring for all on board.
We will be back in 2 years to enjoy the experience again.

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.

Trilogy Deluxe Sunset Cocktail Sail Open Bar & Gourmet Appetizers from Maalaea

Maui Sunset Cruise

Reviewed by: Lisa & Harry

We had a great experience with the crew as well as the customer service team prior to sailing. We were following GPS and ran into crazy traffic and thought we’d miss the boat, so we reached out to the customer service team via text, and were easily able to communicate update them as we got closer. We arrived within seconds of sailing and were greeted warmly by the staff…hopped on and were able to join the fun! From the beginning to the end, we felt taken care of, well fed and had plenty to drink and just the right amount of time on the water to take in the amazing views and relax. It was a trip well worth taking and we plan on taking a voyage the next time we’re back! MAHALO!!!

Happy faces on a great trip out!
Yum!
So many great food to snack on…
Great open bar!

Sunset Whale Watch Tour & Thrilling Ocean Raft Adventure - Koa Kai [Dec - Apr]

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.

Small-Group & Private Sunset Cruise from Maalaea - Amore Luxury Boat Charter

Expensive; I’ve had better whale watching tours elsewhere

Reviewed by: M.R

This company won’t stop pestering me to leave a review so here goes:
I’ve done a lot of whale watching tours on Maui. I only chose this one because the company we typically use cannot run tours on weekends/holidays anymore (change to use abilities at the Mala boat ramp). This was the only other small group tour I could find.
Pros:
- Small group so you aren’t fighting for space/visibility
- Able to use a GoPro in the water off the side of the boat
- $10 credit per person at the General Store (which wasn’t advertised in activity description)

Cons:
- Whale watching is better from Lahaina and not as good from Ma’alaea
- Boat doesn’t go very fast so you don’t get the opportunity to get as much action
- Staff were less experienced and didn’t have a lot of knowledge about the whales/whale behavior
- Much more expensive than other tours

The best whale watching ever!!

Reviewed by: CatandHat

We had the best time whale watching! Captain Paul, and Micah are wonderful!! Captain Paul, piloted us towards multiple whale pods, he and Micah pointed out the whales, showing us the females, calves, and escort male whales. We were given great information regarding their travels, rituals, and behaviors. It was truly an awesome experience!l We can’t wait to do it again!

They treated us with so much aloha spirit that they are the only ones we would want to go out with again!!

The crew on the cruise were super fun and made sure to engage with everyone. The cocktails were fantastic and were served quickly. The food was good, a plate of appetizers was served to each guest, so not a choice if there was something you didn't care for or wanted more of. The sunset was spectacular! I would absolutely do this cruise again.

Trilogy Deluxe Sunset Cocktail Sail Open Bar & Gourmet Appetizers from Maalaea

One of the best parts of our Maui stay

Reviewed by: Dennis May 2023

We love the Maui sunsets and being on the water was even better. Very quiet smooth sail. The entire staff was attentive, happy a pleasure to be with. we had heard a few not so good things about cocktail cruises (rowdiness, drunks, loud) but this was a great experience. Nothing but good things occurred. Great appetizers and drinks. Also not crowded. We've seen a lot of boats heading out with tons of people on board. Not our cup of tea.
For 1st time cocktail cruise sailors wear comfy shoes. We didn't need it but we brought a light jacket anyway. Sunglasses and sunscreen a must. BE ON TIME!
The staff work very hard to ensure our comfort. Don't forget to say Mahalo (Thanks) and give them a tip too.
