Rise with the sun for Morning Sail with the Whales, a 2-hour seasonal cruise from 8:00-10:00 AM aboard Sail Maui’s Gold Coast catamaran ‘Alihilani. During whale season (Dec 15-Mar 31), the ‘au‘au Channel is full of humpback whales migrating—this time of day often brings serene conditions and active behavior. You’ll enjoy refreshments onboard while the experienced crew shares their knowledge of whale behavior. The vessel accommodates up to 49 guests, check in 30 minutes in advance; reef-safe sunscreen is provided; bring a light jacket since early mornings can be cool.
