Making reservations was easy. I emailed about parking and they were very responsive. The check in was easy. The walk to the boat was a bit long, but ok. The food was elegant. The servers/crew were extremely kind and helpful. The views were great. We sat on top. The captain was funny. Overall it was a nice time and I highly recommend it to anyone

Besides the weather, it was a really great time! :)

Katherine_B, Dec 2025
Knowledgeable and friendly crew, yummy food, and a really cool experience! Seeing a whale that swam up to us was really amazing to see! I’ve seen Orcas and Gray Whales, and now I can add Humpback Whales to that list. Thank you to the crew for providing a great time! My only “complaint” would be the rain, but that can’t be helped and we were able to go inside to remain dry!

Had it all!

Beautiful Amazing Romantic

Eric_E, Sep 2025
Relaxing and very easy. Just park and walk aboard. Then relax and enjoy the views. Crew was so attentive and accommodating.

Too Windy

Equilla_S, Sep 2025
It was far too windy for this dinner cruise. It truly was difficult to enjoy the meal or scenery. Would have cancelled but couldn't without loosing our money. Our hopes were with the windy weather the company would have canceled the dinner cruise. Everyone was very nice and attentive and the food was good..

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Thank you for providing your feedback about your dinner cruise experience. I'm sorry to hear that Mother Nature made it a bit challenging to enjoy, although I am glad to hear that the service and food were good. Knowing that the conditions made it challenging to truly enjoy, I am happy to offer a partial refund for your experience. Please feel free to contact me directly at johngaskins@pacwhale.com.

Don’t miss this adventure!

Virginia_R, Aug 2025
Very windy but don’t worry. The captain was an expert. No danger, but very rough and windy! We loved it but it might not be for those who get motion sickness. The dinner and cocktails were top notch.

Maui 2025

Loved the dinner! The staff was super friendly and made us feel welcomed! The photographer on staff was a huge plus

Do not come here hungry, you will leave just as hungry

Izilandria_A, May 2025
First of all, the first course was a roll, the second course was a watermelon salad. Third course we got about five shrimp for our main meal, and to finish us off we got a square of a brownie.

Wife’s Birthday Celebration

Michael_L, May 2025
The excursion was very nice with crew to help make it memorable. Would recommend it to friends and family. Issues were the Viator app. Not allowing us to select individual main courses. Had to make 2 separate transactions. Also, information for meeting place on the dock was also incomplete.

Response from Host, May 2025

Thank you so much for coming out with us and we are so happy to hear that your enjoyed the experience. We sincerely appreciate the support and will hope to have you out with us on your next visit to Maui.

Sunset splendor!

Kelly_P, Mar 2025
Bring a cushion for your rear, the seats aren't comfortable. Aside from that, EVERYTHING was perfect! Very attentive service from Rylee, and food was excellent! The captain was awesome, making sure all could see the whales, and had a great narrative. The sunset was spectacular! A fantastic experience!

The crew was amazing!...

Renee_H, Mar 2025
The crew was amazing! Dinner was fantastic and the whales were spectacular! Highly recommend! Dinner, drinks, and a show what’s not to like❤️

Good times!

Alejandro_E, Mar 2025
Good tunes, decent food, good drinks, and, if you’re lucky, great whale watching! On our trip, they were very active. We had a few very close counters with the whales as they came up within 50 feet of the boat. Check in time was at 3:15 for the 4:00pm cruise, at the shops near the Maui Ocean Center. So plan ahead if so you don’t miss the ship.

Super Sunset Ship

Brian_L, Dec 2024
Pleasant trip with average food. Wait staff not very responsive to requests. They act friendly but didn't really connect. Background music adds to ambiance. Captain is skilled with boat. Drinks (we had wine) not great. Beautiful view of sunset. Not close to whales. So, probably the best choice of many options available.

Totally worth it!

Matt_W, Nov 2024
This sunset dinner cruise was totally worth it! We asked for a private table last minute and they came through. Food and drinks were excellent!

Lovely cruise

CHRISTINE_G, Nov 2024
The staff was friendly, food was very good, view amazing, ship was immaculate. Would highly recommend. Bring your jacket as it was windy.

Dinner cruise

Patty_D, Nov 2024
Everything was good. It was quite windy for our dinner cruise however. Food was delicious and the staff were friendly.
