Great excursion! - We were lucky to have a whale breaching 20 feet from our boat and swimming under the boat 3 times. Wow those whales are amazing. The crew was very friendly and hospitable. We had a great time.

Worth every moment - Great staff. Very personable and happy to help. We drank proseccos with guava juice while watching a beautiful whale that danced around our CATAMARAN for most of the trip just constantly breaching and flirting with us. Stunning morning excursion that filled our hearts. THANK YOU!

What a wonderful experience Sea Maui provided. - Based on the Hawaiian Vacation Guide YouTube video, we booked this excursion around three weeks prior to our arrival on Maui. We elected the 8am departure and the water was calm. The entire crew was humorous but also very professional and safety minded. The staff made my husband and I, in our mid 60’s, feel just as welcome as the younger families and couples. We saw whales and enjoyed the whole experience. Book Sea Maui, you will not be disappointed.

Wonderful sunset cruise - The food was ok but the cocktails/beers were very good. We saw whales several times on this cruise. Very exciting experience. The captain and crew were fantastic. I would go back again.
