Whale Watching, Sailing, & Charters
There is simply no better way to experience the beauty of Maui than from the water. Surrounded by the sparkling Pacific Ocean, Maui offers an extraordinary playground for boating adventures of every kind. Whether you’re seeking a romantic sail at sunset, a thrilling ocean rafting ride, or a serene morning paddle along the coast in a kayak, the ocean provides a front-row seat to some of the island’s most breathtaking scenery. Towering sea cliffs, lush valleys, and waterfalls cascade into hidden coves—many of which are only accessible by boat. Being on the water lets you experience Maui’s natural wonder in a way that’s both intimate and unforgettable.
One of the most awe-inspiring reasons to get out on the water is Maui’s legendary whale watching. From December through April, the ocean comes alive as thousands of humpback whales migrate to these warm Hawaiian waters to breed and give birth. Seeing a whale breach just yards from your vessel is a moment that stays with you for a lifetime. Beyond whales, the marine life is abundant year-round—dolphins, sea turtles, colorful reef fish, and even the occasional manta ray all make appearances. Snorkeling off the coast, especially around Molokini Crater or Turtle Town, reveals an underwater paradise just as stunning as the island above.
At Another Side Of Maui Tours, we offer boating experiences that are as relaxing or adventurous as you want them to be. Join a small-group sailing trip, paddle your own kayak through calm coastal waters, or book a fully private charter for a custom, luxury experience catered to your preferences. Our experienced captains and guides ensure every tour is safe, educational, and filled with Aloha spirit. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, exploring with family, or simply soaking in the sun and sea, a boating tour in Maui is a must-do experience—an unforgettable chapter in your Hawaiian story.
