Watch humpback whales breach at sunset on a Maui catamaran cruise with naturalist narration, whale songs, and an open bar.

About this tour

Watch humpback whales breach and play as the sun sinks over Maui on this two-hour catamaran cruise. From the deck of a 65-foot vessel, take in the changing colors of the sky while certified marine naturalists share insights into the whales. Sightings are guaranteed on every charter, and custom onboard hydrophones let you hear their songs beneath the surface.

Settle into a bow hammock or shaded cabin, then enjoy the open bar, featuring craft cocktails, local spirits, Maui Brewing Co. favorites, and nonalcoholic drinks. An onboard photographer is available to capture the evening, with photos offered for purchase. The catamaran also has two marine restrooms.

Check in at Slip #56 at Ma'alaea Harbor 15 minutes before departure. Bring a jacket and reef-safe sunscreen, and have a government-issued ID ready if you plan to drink alcohol. Make your Maui sunset memorable with a Catamaran Sunset Whale Watch.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 2 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Maui
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.2.
