Things to do in

Lahaina

Travel via high-speed catamaran from Lahaina Harbor to the Maui Channel to see the humpback whales, who return to Hawaii for a few months each year to mate and give birth. Depending on the whales’ behavior during your 2-hour whale watching trip, you may see any number of whale things happen. Keep your eyes peeled for whales slapping the surface with their pectoral fins (their very long side fins), flukes (the tail), or peduncle (the strong muscles attaching the tail to the rest of the body). Keep your fingers crossed for a breach. This is when a whale rises completely out of the water and crashes down again. Don’t forget to bring your camera.

Lay back on the forward trampolines, find a comfortable seat with panoramic island views, or sit under the covered cabin space for a break from the elements.

After you’ve settled in, follow your nose to the delicious appetizers and pick up a tasty soda or tropical juice. Your dinner cruise includes two free drinks, once the catamaran has motored out of the harbor, you can order alcoholic beverages. For the main meal, depending on the option selected, enjoy a sumptuous selection of Hawaiian classics like mahi-mahi, a pan-seared white fish with fresh mango salsa, or prime rib dinner (prepared medium/medium-well done). Each is served with authentic side dishes traditional Hawaiian sweet rolls, and a chocolate brownie.
