Catamaran Whale Watch

Immersive. Powerful. Unforgettable.

From December through April, the waters off Maui come alive with the sights and sounds of the majestic humpback whales, and there’s no better way to witness the wonder than from the deck of our 65’ catamaran.

This two-hour experience is all about pure whale watching. No snorkeling. No sailing. Just uninterrupted time to see breaches, tail slaps, and close encounters, guided by expert marine naturalists who know where the magic happens. You’ll even hear live whale songs through our onboard hydrophones, an experience you won’t forget.

Enjoy light local bites and an open bar featuring favorites from Maui Brewing Co., all served with panoramic ocean views and a refreshing sea breeze.

The luxury of Alii and the unforgettable magic of whale season on Maui.
