Introduction
There’s so much to do in Maui that you might be forgiven for not realizing how many ways there are to explore it. You could take a helicopter ride over the island, but then you’d miss out on the feeling of being part of nature—and that can only be achieved from a boat. So here are some things you can do on your next Maui vacation by catamaran!
The ocean is part of you, but the land is not.
The ocean is a place of infinite possibility and freedom. When you are in the ocean, you can be yourself. The ocean doesn’t judge and will never let you down, so it’s okay to let go of your inhibitions and just enjoy yourself. You are free there; free to explore, free to feel alive!
Land may be home base but the ocean is where your heart belongs.
Capture the sunset or sunrise on the ocean while it glows.
One of the best ways to capture the beauty of Maui is by taking pictures of the sunset or sunrise while they’re glowing over the ocean. This will remind you of your trip every time you look at it, and it also makes for a great memory when shared with friends. The best time to take these photos is at least an hour before or after sunset or sunrise, depending on your preference. If you want to capture a picture in which there are many boats in the background, then plan this out accordingly so that they aren’t visible in your picture!
Snorkel or swim with sea turtles.
It is illegal to touch or feed sea turtles in Hawaii. The Hawaiian green sea turtle is a protected species and should be treated with respect, as they serve an important purpose in the ecosystem. It is also illegal to chase or harass them in any way.
However, if you keep your distance and do not approach them when they are feeding on algae or coral, there are ways that you can interact safely with sea turtles while snorkeling on Maui’s west coast. Sea turtles tend to be very active during sunrise and sunset hours so those times are best for spotting them while snorkeling at one of these spots:
- Waihe’e Ridge State Wayside Park (Mamala Bay)
- Honolua Bay Snorkel Trail & Beach Park (Kahului)
- Ka’anapali Beach Resort (Lahaina)
Watch the whales breach and blow only 100 yards away.
In Maui, whales are the largest animals in the ocean and are protected by law. You can see whales from the boat or from shore at a distance of 100 yards or less. Whale watching is fun for all ages!
Enjoy watching dolphins swim around your boat as you leave the harbor.
Dolphins are one of the most popular marine animals in the world, and for good reason! They’re intelligent and social creatures that can be found swimming in almost any ocean around the globe. Many people believe that watching dolphins swim around your boat as you leave the harbor is a sign of luck. For example, if someone sees dolphins before trying something new or different, they might decide not to do it because this person thinks it means their luck will run out soon! However, people who have never seen a dolphin before may want to go on an adventure when they get back home because they think seeing one means good things will happen.
In addition to being lucky signs, dolphins are known as amazing performers as well! Not only do they swim gracefully through water but some species can be trained by humans so well that they can perform complex tricks such as jumping out of their tanks into nets held by trainers’ assistants below them (this happens at SeaWorld theme park locations).
Take a catamaran to learn more about Maui’s history.
Explore Maui on a catamaran, and learn more about its history.
If you’re interested in learning more about Maui’s history, culture and traditions, then taking a catamaran tour is the perfect way to do it! Your friendly guide will take you through some of the most beautiful parts of Maui where they will share with you their knowledge of local history. They can also give you tips on how to navigate around these waters safely so that if there’s ever any emergency (for example: sudden weather changes) we’ll be prepared for what comes next.
Take a catamaran with a glass bottom to see sea life from above and below the water surface.
One of the best ways to explore Maui on a catamaran is by taking a glass-bottom boat tour. These tours allow you to see sea life from above and below the water surface. The glass bottom allows you to look down into the water, while still being protected in case anything jumps out at you! The boats have large windows that allow everyone on board a great view of what’s below them, including corals and fish swimming around us!
Meet new people from all over the world on a catamaran cruise of Maui.
If you’re looking for a way to meet new people and learn about different cultures, this is definitely the way to do it. You’ll be able to make new friends from all over the world and learn about their culture, which will help you become a more worldly person.
If you have never been on one of these cruises before, I suggest booking your tickets as soon as possible because they usually sell out fast!
Catamarans are family-friendly and kid-friendly vessels that offer shade, plenty of space and lots of fun activities.
As you can see, catamarans are safe, comfortable, fun and offer all the amenities you need for a great time. They have plenty of space for everyone to move around and enjoy themselves. The same goes for shade; most catamaran tours have plenty of cover from the sun so that your family won’t get too hot while they’re out exploring Maui on their own boat ride.
Catamarans are also great at accommodating kids with their unique design. Unlike other boats, these vessels don’t rock or tilt as much when waves come in so young children will be able to stay onboard without feeling sick or uncomfortable after just a little bit!

Listen to live music on one of Maui’s floating clubs while you explore the island.
One of the best ways to experience Maui is on a catamaran. Catamarans are large boats that can hold up to 80 people and have been around for centuries.
With so many options for catamaran tours, it’s best to pick a tour that has an itinerary that suits your needs. For example, if you want an all-day adventure with plenty of time to explore Maui’s history, culture and people then consider the Molokai 2 Oahu or 2 Maui Tour. If you want something more laid back with less time on land but still plenty of time on water consider one of our sunset cruises or snorkeling cruises.
There are so many ways to enjoy Maui by catamaran that seeing it by any other way might seem like a waste of time!
If you’ve ever daydreamed about Maui, or if you’ve been there and want to go back, then catamarans are the way to do it. You’ll see more of the island on a catamaran than any other way.
Catamarans are safe and comfortable. They’re perfect for families, groups, singles, couples—anyone who wants to have fun!
Conclusion
Maui is one of the most beautiful places in the world. There are so many things to do on Maui that it can be hard to decide what you want to do first. That’s why I recommend taking a catamaran cruise around this beautiful island! You’ll see whales breaching just 100 yards from shore, dolphins swimming around your boat as you leave port, sea turtles snacking on seaweed and coral reefs full of colorful fish. Plus there’s plenty of space on board for everyone including kids too!
