Luxury Sunset Sail with a great crew and premium drinks! - Top-Notch sunset sail with an amazing crew on a lovely and comfortable catamaran! In addition to premium cocktails and delicious barbecue sliders, we were amazed with whale sightings along the way and a remarkable and beautiful sunset! Thanks to Captain John and firstmate Johanna for their exceptional service and fun interaction! And a surprising bonus when Ian came around to clean our sunglasses before the sunset! This sail is first-rate!! Highly Recommend!

Perfect Sunset Sail - Had a wonderful sunset sail; absolutely beautiful - the heavy appetizers and free cocktails were great! The crew was very friendly and efficient in tending to the boat, tending bar and helping serve all the guests! We will definitely book it again next time in Maui!

Wind, WHALES, rainbows, and GREAT staff. - We absolutely loved our time on board the Alii Nui for the Days End Sunset Sail. Captain Josh, Mackenzie, Ian, and Oli took fantastic care of us. We were unsure of the weather at the start of our tour because it was extremely windy, but Captain Josh expertly navigated the windy conditions and brought us to calmer water for the majority of our cruise and gave us plenty of notice of upcoming weather so we could go to the cabin. They even spotted a HUMPBACK WHALE!! We thought we were there too early to see whales, so it was a special treat to see one. It was tail slapping and even breached a few times! And the icing on the cake was a stunning rainbow that popped out just before sunset. It was a magical evening on the water. Definitely a trip to remember. We would highly recommend this tour to others.

Fantastic! - Lovely evening on the boat with Captain Timothy and team. Windy and rough, but the crew found us a calm spot to enjoy sunset on the water. Drinks and food were great. Wide selection of good wine, beer, and cocktails. Highly recommend!

Amazing experience - Captain Josh and his crew were amazing. We were lucky enough to see a young whale playing, slapping his tail and even breeched for us. Saw a beautiful rainbow and the sunset was spectacular. The cocktails, food and crew were all top notch. Was a great experience and would highly recommend.

Green Flash Experience - Was never a fan of doing a “Booze Cruise” so we were all pleasantly surprised & more than happy with the entire experience! Great food, good drinks, fantastic crew & even got the “Green Flash” at sunset! Totally would recommend 👍🏼

Relaxing and beautiful - Enjoyed the trip. It was easy to park near the boat. The seats were comfortable. The drinks were nice. They also served food: pork sliders, jackfruit sliders, marlin dip, onion dip and crackers. Overall, it was relaxing and beautiful.

If we hadn’t been moved and cancelled x 2 probably would’ve been amazing - We never got to go on excursion because we were moved from original date to another date and then an hour and half before we were supposed to be at the harbor, we got a text stating cruise was cancelled due to mechanical problems. The team we spoke to was very nice and helpful. I’m sure if we’d have been able to go on the trip it would’ve been most enjoyable. They offered us another day, but we were leaving the next day and had already changed plans around twice to accommodate the schedule changes made by the company. It was an anniversary surprise for my husband and by the time it was cancelled the 2nd time, everywhere else was already booked. Kudos to the employees for getting us a refund immediately and trying to come up with another solution- Mahalo! Hopefully they will get the issues resolved soon.
