Sunset Dinner Cruise - My husband and I recently celebrated our anniversary on a dinner cruise with sea Maui. We had exceptional service, friendly staff, with Jenn and James and a great dinner buffet. We enjoyed our trip and highly recommend this company.

Happy Crew-Happy Guests! - This could not have been more magical! The weather was perfect, and the crew seemed as excited as we were seeing multiple whale sightings. The food was great and the open bar kept the adults happy! Totally recommend this trip.

Best whale watching experience - Boat captain Travis was the absolute best. He made the loading from the beach on a windy day seem like anyone could do it. Mario and Kyle were also friendly, making sure everyone had enough to drink and that their needs were fully met. Travis was able to find a pod of whales going north and followed them for as long as he could. The show the whales put on is without description. The rainbow over Lahaina at the end of the trip made it all worthwhile. Cannot say enough good things about our Sea Maui whale watching cruise. Highly recommend and would do it again in a heartbeat. It was worth every penny spent.

Carrie, James, and Nico... - Carrie, James, and Nico were great and we really enjoyed Tim McDill’s music. It was awesome seeing whales and taking in the beauty of the islands from the water.

The best possible way to end our trip - We took the dinner cruise with a group of four and had an incredible experience from start to finish. The food was excellent, we saw plenty of whales, and one of the coolest moments was getting to hear them singing through the hydrophone. The crew really made the trip special. Noah and Will mostly took care of our group—they were personable, attentive, and went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable. They even shared a bit about their lives in Maui, which made the experience feel more personal and welcoming. Captain Nick was fantastic—funny, engaging, and played great music throughout the cruise. He also shared a lot of interesting information about the whales, the local area, and the history of how the islands were formed. This was easily one of the highlights of our trip, and we will absolutely book again the next time we’re in Maui. 🌊🐋🎶

See Maui on Sea Maui ;) - Tour went beyond expectations! The service was great. The crew immediately served drinks and were repeatedly checking in and bringing more. The food was good as well. The captain James was spot on chasing whales before sunset and we got to see several up close! We had an amazing time, would highly recommend this company!
