Join us for an enchanted blend of listening to whale songs at sea by the light of the full moon, while learning about Maui's intriguing night sky.
This cruise features riveting narration by Harriet Witt, an international award winning astronomy writer and speaker.

She has been giving colorful and informative presentations on astronomy in Hawaii since 1990 and teaching "Making Friends With the Night Sky" classes at Maui Community College since 1992.
Adding to the magic in the winter months (December through April) is the opportunity to listen to the live, haunting songs of the humpback whales in the area, picked up via our underwater hydrophones and played on the speaker system on our vessel.

Departing from historic Lahaina Harbor each evening, our Kanikapila Sunset Cocktail Cruise takes place on our ultra-smooth, double-deck power catamaran. Our onboard entertainer offers live, island-style music and storytelling, plus a Hawaiian chant -- and maybe a hula or two.
Be sure to bring your camera to capture the spell-binding views of the West Maui mountains, and the neighboring islands, all bathed in the amber ever-changing hues of the Pacific sunset.

Our sumptuous appetizers include local style BBQ grilled Maui Cattle Company beef sticks marinated in teriyaki sauce; Hawaiian-style boneless, skinless chicken strips marinated in a special sauce; a fresh vegetable crudite platter with Maui Onion dip; baked spinach dip with crackers; seasonal assorted island fruits; and a Hawaiian Sampler Platter, featuring Hawaiian heritage foods of kalo, Moloka’i sweet potato and ulu.
