About This Tour
Set sail aboard ‘Alihilani, our 64-foot Gold Coast sailing catamaran, for a stunning Late Afternoon Whale Watch from 3:30 to 5:30 PM, departing daily from Lahaina Harbor. Enjoy Maui’s golden light as humpback whales breach, glide, and play in the calm ʻAuʻau Channel, one of the most active whale habitats in Hawai‘i. Relax on spacious trampolines or shaded seating while our crew shares insights on whale behavior, migration, and Maui’s vibrant marine life. With the sails raised and the engines quiet, the experience becomes serene and immersive. Each winter, thousands of North Pacific humpbacks return to Maui to mate, give birth, and care for their young. The late-day sun creates breathtaking viewing and incredible photo moments. Discover why Maui is the world’s premier place to see humpbacks. Book your Lahaina Afternoon Whale Watch aboard ‘Alihilani and enjoy an intimate, unforgettable journey with Sail Maui.
