Sail Maui Whale Watching Tour from Maalaea Harbor

Set sail with Sail Maui on a morning or midday Maui whale-watching tour, cruising the calm waters of the Au'au Channel from Maalaea Harbor aboard a luxury, eco-friendly catamaran. Watch humpback whales breach, slap their tails, and glide through the Pacific just yards away.

Settle into shaded seats or stretch out on the open-air trampolines for unbeatable views. Sip refreshing drinks, snap photos, and listen as the crew shares fascinating facts about humpback behaviors and Hawaii's marine ecosystem.

You'll glide through whale territory with minimal motor use on this quiet, eco-conscious experience where you can hear the ocean's rhythm—and sometimes even live whale songs through the onboard hydrophone. Reef-safe sunscreen is available on board, and a light jacket helps with the ocean breeze.

With only 49 passengers per catamaran whale-watching tour, you'll enjoy open views, plenty of space, and a calm, uncrowded setting. Whether you're a nature lover, traveling with kids, or simply curious about whales, this sail offers a memorable and sustainable way to see them up close.
