Maui is the place to see humpback whales. Each year these magnificent creatures migrate south from Alaska, and although you can see them throughout Hawaii, the ‘Au ‘au channel off the coast of Maui boasts the greatest number. Our warm, relatively shallow and protected waters make an ideal location for the humpbacks to mate and give birth to their calves. These whales are known for their acrobatics, and are often seen fully breaching out of the ocean! This charter is a seasonal opportunity, available from December 15th to March 31st annually.

From: $0.00

Q&A

Q: Is there a weight limit for the boat on the whale sail?

A: There isn't a strict weight limit, but the boat can comfortably accommodate around 30 people. It's best to call Sail Maui directly if you're concerned about specific individuals or larger groups. They’re super friendly and can answer any safety questions you might have!

Q: What should I wear for the afternoon sail? Is it cold out there?

A: Definitely wear layers! It can get a bit chilly out there, especially if the wind picks up. I'd recommend a light jacket or sweatshirt. Also, don’t forget your sunscreen since you’ll be exposed to the sun. Comfortable shoes are a must since the boat can be a bit slippery!

Q: Are kids allowed on the whale sail? What's the age limit?

A: Yes, kids are welcome on the sail! There’s no strict age limit, but I'd say it’s great for ages 5 and up. It's a fun learning experience for them, especially seeing the whales up close. Just keep an eye on them, as the boat can sway a bit!

Thinking of gifting the Afternoon Sail with Whales—any tips?

I'm looking to buy the Afternoon Sail with the Whales experience from Lahaina for my parents. They’ve never been to Maui and I think it’d be an unforgettable day. Has anyone done this before? Any must-know tips or things I should prep them for? I really want them to enjoy this!

Just went on the whale sail—amazing experience!

I just got back from the Afternoon Sail with the Whales, and wow, what an experience! The crew from Sail Maui was super friendly, and we saw so many whales breaching! The light appetizers were tasty too. Just a heads up, it can get a bit windy, so dress accordingly. Definitely worth every penny! Can't wait to go back.
