Overview

Come join us to observe the playful habits of Maui's most consistent return visitor - the humpback whale. The waters off West Maui have long been the favored vacation spot of these massive marine mammals. The Alii Class Yachts provide maximum space and comfort. There are plenty of areas to enjoy the "show" from our spacious, shaded cabin or deck areas. A Marine naturalist is always onboard with facts about these gentle giants. A hydrophone will allow you to listen to the amazing songs the humpback whales sing; Maui's best "Whale Karaoke." Our whale watch will run seven days a week from mid-December until the whales go home.

Since 1978, Alii Nui Sailing Charters has been proudly sailing the seas of Maui, whisking guests away on exhilarating snorkeling trips, romantic sunset cruises, and everything in between. We’re honored to play a part in introducing our visitors to the island as well as its waters; as stewards of our proud culture, we take that responsibility seriously.
