Aloha & e komo mai
Activities booked by your resort concierge — Kāʻanapali · Lahaina · Kapalua · Nāpili
Maui is an island that is meant to be discovered. Hike in a rainforest, take a helicopter tour, rappel down a waterfall, zipline, watch the sunrise atop a volcano and then bike down, learn to surf, and snorkel the clear water off Kāʻanapali — a few of the excursions waiting for you during your stay at The Whaler.
We recommend reserving your excursions before you arrive using this site. You may also book by calling The Whaler concierge desk at 808-661-6032. We know your stay will create a sense of Aloha in your heart and leave you feeling, as most Maui residents do, that Maui No Ka ʻOi — Maui is the best.
Ranked by what our guests actually booked over the last twelve months, with West Maui departures first — so your morning starts at Lahaina or Kāʻanapali Beach instead of an hour in the car.

A professional photographer meets your family on Kāʻanapali Beach at the best light of the day — sunrise over the West Maui Mountains or golden hour with Lānaʻi on the horizon — and you go home with the one thing a vacation can’t replace. Sessions run about an hour, are edited and delivered digitally, and can be booked around any activity on this page.
Every trip on this page is run by an operator working out of West Maui or serving our guests here. Booking them keeps crews, captains, guides and drivers on the schedule, and keeps visitor dollars in the community that is still rebuilding. Please travel with care and respect for the people and places that make this coast home.
What the concierge desk at The Whaler does for you:
Don’t miss a Hawaiian lūʻau, a whale watch in the ʻAuʻau Channel, a Molokini snorkel or a sunset sail. Tell us what your family likes and we will build the week around it — before you arrive or once you are here.

Give us your arrival and departure days and we will schedule activities so no one is racing to a harbor on check-out morning. Questions and changes go to a real person at the front desk, not a call center.
Every calendar on this site is the operator’s own live inventory. You book the seat, your confirmation arrives immediately, and your card is charged by the activity provider.

Prices shown include taxes and harbor fees. No booking fees are added by The Whaler, and our 48-hour cancellation standard applies unless the operator is more generous.
