2-Hour Kaanapali Sunset Cocktail Cruise with Open Bar & Appetizers - Sea Maui

Great views, great crew, outstanding experience!

Reviewed by: Hillswilliams

This excursion was beyond what I expected! The boat ride was smooth and there was plenty of space for my friends and I to enjoy the ride! We had cute bean bag chairs to sit on which added to our excitement. The crew members showed great service and were happy to get to know us a little when the time was right and everyone on board had been helped. Very easy going and fun guys to hang out with! The crew even made our friends proposal extra special by turning the boat around at the perfect time so we could have the best pictures of the event- and were more than happy to celebrate by bringing out champagne! I also feel like I need to comment on the food- the Brussels were the best I’ve ever had- and being from the south, I’ve tried them many ways. If you’re going on this excursion, be prepared to have a great evening, get your toes wet, and enjoy the views. 10/10 for a great time and great company!

The best sunset cruise!

Reviewed by: Jenna

This cruise was the perfect way to end one of our days in Maui. The staff gave fun facts about the island during the cruise and would stop along the way to get the perfect view of any wildlife you saw. The staff interacted with everybody on the boat and attended to everybody well to make sure everyone who wanted a drink had one. I highly recommend this cruise if you are wanting a relaxing way end to your day with beautiful views.

The most memorable night!

Reviewed by: Ashton

Highly, highly recommend these guys! They have bean bags on the net lounge area to sit on which was very nice and made it more comfortable. The crew was so attentive and were constantly making rounds checking on everyone and even told us not to worry about getting drinks ourselves that they would be bringing them around, so we never even had to get up for a refill! They were also so helpful with a proposal that my friend was planning. They made sure that everything went smoothly for them and I can't thank them enough for making their night so special!

2.5-Hour Sea Maui Sunset Dinner Cruise with Open Bar from Kaanapali Beach

Great cruise with an awesome crew on an amazing boat!

Reviewed by: Mike

I cant wait to go back! The new boat is beautiful and rides so incredibly smooth. The crew is what sets Sea Maui apart from the other guys. Throughout the cruise they were attentive and entertaining, treating everyone on board like long time friends. I was having such a good time on the cruise that I had forgotten dinner was included until they announced the buffet was ready! Great food and drinks with the best crew in Maui! Couldn't ask for more!

Sunset sail

Reviewed by: Maui local

The sunset sail was very good, better than others I've done. Definitely wasn't live music and booking online doesn't allow for a kamaʻāina discount, once I got to the front desk I was told they did offer 25% but I couldn't get it since there wasn't a way to do it online.. 5 of us went so perhaps someone could figure that out on your end?
Otherwise the excursion itself was great even saw doplhins swim along the boat!

Reply from activity provider

Aloha! We’re stoked you enjoyed your sail with us! You didn’t book the Sunset Live Music trip, hence the reason there was no live music. Also we are unable to discount a 3rd party booking but we’d be happy to take care of you next time as Kama’aina booking direct. Mahalo!

“Whale” worth your time!

Reviewed by: Kelsey Richters

We had a “whaley” good time! Two humpback whales swam around, under, and emerged out of the water right next to our boat, swimming around us for about 20 minutes! We were fortunate to have a prolonged close-up encounter, within feet of these beautiful creatures. A large group of dolphins also swam by, jumping in and out of the water! The views were outstanding and our guides were a lot of fun, informative and very friendly! (I even dropped my sunglasses in the ocean and one of our guides managed to grab them before they sank-above and beyond!) The drinks and appetizers were delicious, and to top it off there were beautiful rainbows along the coast as we sailed along the sea! Sea Maui Sunset Sail was wonderful and our FAVORITE thing we did in Maui!

Whale Watch Ocean Rafting Tour from Lahaina - Temporarily Unavailable [Dec-Mar]

Highlight of our trip.

Reviewed by: jp&el

Amazing experience with whale that circled us many times and went under the boat. He stayed with us for about 30 minutes - circling, and coming up to look at us - so close we could have reached out and touched him. Finale was when he finally left and gave us a huge breech. Simply incredible - no whale watching tour could ever beat this one. Crew wonderful too. Best day ever.

Left on time and had a great time with a small group of people on this trip. Close to the water gives one a better view of these great animals. The crew was friendly and knowledgeable.
We saw whales and one up close, even went under our raft and stuck around. Never saw anything so amazing, we even got wet from his spray!
Better than we expected!

【冬季限定】ホエールウオッチングクルーズ <2時間/ラハイナ港発/英語ガイド> byエクスプローラー 1号、2号

I saw it!! 見えました!!

Reviewed by: sato

It was right at the beginning of the December season, so I was worried about whether I would be able to see anything, but that morning, while looking at the ocean from my hotel room, I spotted a spout in the distance. I thought I might be lucky today and boarded the boat with that expectation. At first, I could only see the spouts from afar, but I was able to see whales on both the starboard and port sides.

There was one breach, but it happened so suddenly that I couldn't capture it in a photo; it was truly moving. In the latter half, we moved the boat to show us a baby whale. The passengers were all Westerners, with only two of us being Asian. My English is not great, but I chose this small boat because I wanted to experience it. It was a nimble boat, which made it interesting, though it might be dangerous for small children.

However, during check-in, the attitude of the woman at the reception was not great. Even though the voucher clearly stated the time, name, and the number of the reception hut, she returned the voucher saying, "This is not the place. Go to the hut three over." When I showed the voucher to the man at that hut three over, he kindly told me that this was not the right place and even accompanied me back to the first hut.

Even when that man said this was the right place, the woman's attitude was arrogant; she didn't smile and just handed me the boarding number. It was disappointing to see such an attitude, possibly because we were not English-speaking customers.

Additionally, when disembarking, a female crew member was smiling and shaking hands with other passengers, but when my husband extended his hand to express his gratitude, she pulled back.

I didn't feel this way on the Big Island, but on Maui, I had the impression that there was a certain strictness towards Japanese people, aside from this incident.

12月シーズン始まってすぐでしたので見れるか不安でしたが、当日の朝ホテルの部屋から海を見ていると。遠くに潮吹きが見えました。
これは今日はラッキーかもと期待しての乗船。最初は遠くで潮を吹いている様子でしたが、右舷、左舷どちら側でもクジラを見ることができました。
 ブリーチは一度だけ、突然だったので写真におさめることはできませんでしたが、感動ものです・
後半は、船を移動して子どもくじらを見せてくれました。
乗客は、欧米人のみ。東洋人は、当方2人でした。英語はさっぱりですが、なん小さい船にのりたかったので選びました。
小回りがきく船ですので、おもしろかったです。小さなお子さんは危ないかも。
ただ、チェックインの際、受付の女性の態度がいまいちでした。
バウチャーには、しっかり時間、名前、そして受付小屋の番号も記載されているのに、「ここと違う。三つむこうの小屋へ」とバウチャーを返され、その三つむこうの小屋の受付のおじさんに、バウチャーを見せると、ここではないよと親切に言ってくれ、しかもいっしょに最初の小屋についてきてくれました。
 その人にこれはここと言われても、女性の態度は横柄で、にこりともせず、乗船番号札をわたしてくれました。
 英語圏の客でないのが気にくわないのか、残念な態度でした。

そして、もうひとつ、下船の際、クルーの女性が、他の乗客に笑顔で握手していたので、主人が感謝の言葉を言いながら手をさしだすとひっこめられました。

ハワイ島では感じなかったのですが、マウイ島では、この時以外にも日本人に対してきびしいかな
と思った経験がありました。
