Maui Sunset Sail from Lahaina
Friendly crew. Sunset and rainbows were awesome. We've been on PacWhale sailings before and will go again. The cause is wonderful and the price is fair. We saw a wonderful sunset and multiple rainbows above Maui.

Save your money and skip it.
We did this sunset cruise on July 4th to see the fireworks. It was a disappointing experience and I don’t recommend this excursion. The worst part was blasting rock Music for the entire 3 hour cruise. We asked them to turn it down and they declined. We sat in the dark waiting for the fire works to begin for over an hour and they were over in 15 minutes. They didn’t turn down the music during the fireworks and refused to lower the volumes despite specific requests. It was expensive and not worth it.
Operator response
Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your disappointing experience on the 4th of July fireworks cruise. We do value such direct customer feedback and I have forwarded yours to our Eco-Tour Director for her review and discussion with vessel staff. Although the fireworks shows on Maui certainly are not as lengthy as you would experience, they are very popular here. We always want our guests to have an enjoyable experience with us and apologize that was not the case in your instance. Please feel free to reach out to me directly at johngaskins@pacwhale.com to discuss a refund.

Great sunset cruise!
Get there by 5:00, so they can pick your up from the meeting spot and to the boat for the 5:15 departure. The ad said no alcohol, but they served alcohol and several rounds of snacks to the point I didn't need dinner. All female crew were friendly and very capable.

Must do in Maui
It was an unbelievable experience. Nicholas, Noah, Kirsten, and Will were exceptional in service and so friendly and engaging. They made the experience so wonderful. The food was great but the views and the service are rave worthy. I can’t recommend this any more. The experience was truly unforgettable

BOOK the Sunset and Celestial Cruise!!!
My husband and I booked the Sunset and Celestial cruise for the last night of our vacation. This was my favorite experience from our entire week! Although the boat could hold over 100 guests, there was about 40 and we were all able to enjoy the evening views from the top deck. The pupus and drinks were good (shrimp cocktail, ahi tuna toasts, kalua pork quesadillas, fruit, cheese and chocolate chip cookies). The speaker, astronomy writer-speaker, Harriett Whit was amazing! I could have listened to her until the sun rose! Highly recommend this perfect evening!
