27 reviewed
The last light feels better from the water or around a well-set island table. These 15 sunset experiences cover sails, dinners and relaxed evenings with clear expectations.
Ka’anapali sunset catamaran with open bar and pupus, whale spotting in winter, and beach boarding that means you might get wet.
“Beach loading catamaran so be prepared to dash through the water! The captain and the crew were fantastic. Lots of little ones, which I did not expect, also was expecting more a leisurely ride versus searching for whales!”
Sunset dinner on a 65ft catamaran from Ka'anapali Beach, with a full open bar, buffet dinner, and seasonal whale watching.
“They're number 1 for a reason. Great vibes for me and my wife. Great food and good drinks! Got to see some whales too”
Ma'alaea Harbor sunset dinner on Quicksilver catamaran. 3-course local meal, 2 drinks included, live music, and whale season chances.
“Nice cruise, great crew & bad whale watching experience. We have been on numerous similar cruises but this is the only one that we felt the captain was only interested in taking us out to point one and returning to the harbor to get off. It has taken me over a day to get over the disappointment and give a review. We were just outside the harbor 20 mins just waiting around to go in, no reason why that 20 mins should not have been used in search of whales while out there.”
Maui sunset dinner cruise on the Pride of Maui, with open bar, BBQ buffet, live hula, and possible humpback whale sightings near Molokini.
“Wonderful staff, but not worth the price. Average food and drinks at a premium price. Inadequate seating.”
Sunset on Maui water aboard Calypso with prime rib or fresh fish dinner, free first drinks, live music, and possible whale sightings.
“We had a blast! It was an experience you will remember for a lifetime! It was my husbands birthday and they sang happy birthday to him! The photographer took amazing photos! Everything was truly amazing!”
A 3-hour Maui sunset whale watch from Maalaea Harbor with a 4-course dinner, live naturalist commentary, and ocean views of Lanai and Molokai.
“Great crew, great day...saw a lot of whale action (and bonus dolphin sitings)! Commentary, by our naturalist, was very informative.”
Two-hour sunset catamaran with Sail Maui's 'Alihilani' from Ma'alaea, ice-cold drinks, cold hors d'oeuvres, and wildlife chances.
“The crew was great we had a all female crew they were on top of making sure everyone was having a good time bringing drinks.”
Private Maui sunset flight with champagne. Fly over Molokini, Lahaina, and the West Maui coast with a headset and live guide.
“This was a fun flight. This was our first time and it was amazing to see everything for the sky. Highly recommend.”
2-hour South Maui sunset catamaran dinner with prime rib or island fish, live Hawaiian music, and possible whales plus green sea turtles.
“Food was delicious, service was good/friendly. Our seating was comfortable and the views were unbeatable. For a sunset dinner cruise we had the best whale watching experience.”
Haleakala sunset twilight tour with to-go dinner. Hotel pickup, crater views near 10,000 feet, and a guided ride up Maui’s volcano.
“When booking, I thought it was a 1:30-8:30p tour (7 h) but was informed after purchasing that it was more like 4.5h. We left the pickup site 25 mins late, so we were rushed for time in the visitors center. The driver was nice, but wasn't an engaging tour guide so not much was learned going up the mountain. There was no talking/tour on the way down. I feel like the cost should have been half the price I paid.”
Maui sunset dinner cruise on Quicksilver catamaran from Maalaea Bay, with live island music, 3-course meal, and ocean wildlife views.
“Great crew! clean ship! comfortable seats! Great food! beautiful sunset! We weren't sure it would be worth it,v considering there are so many great restaurants to eat at right in the water... but it was definitely fantastic! you get to just see so much more from the ocean! love seeing the islands from the water and search for paces we have been. The sun setting with unobstructed views is gorgeous. God is the ultimate artist!”
Maui sunset sail from Maalaea Harbor on the Ocean Spirit, with pupus, unlimited non-alcoholic drinks, and BYOB options.
“Beautiful night for a sunset cruise. Great cocktails! The captain & staff were super friendly. We didn’t see any whales but it was end is season for them so we knew that may be the case. We got amazing sunset pictures!”
Sail from Ka'anapali on a luxury catamaran with an open bar, chef-inspired pupus, sunset views, and seasonal humpback whale sightings.
“We had a phenomenal crew of Captain Julia, Owen and Joshua! Everything was great and the views were fantastic! Highly recommend this tour.”
Maui TurtleTown nighttime snorkel with small groups, 4000-lumen lights, turtles after dark, and guide-led safety plus optional photo packages.
“Super fun experience! Robbie was a great guide and super easy to follow. We were able to see turtles, lobster, star fish, & so much more. So worth a trip!”
Ka'anapali luxury catamaran sunset dinner with open bar, chef-inspired buffet, and whale-spotting views along Maui's west coast.
“Our family went on the Teralani 5 sunset dinner cruise on May 21st. We had an excellent time with Captain Patrick, AJ, Isaiah, and the crew. Good dinner and drinks - highly recommend this in Maui!”
