Reasons to Go on the Adventure Sunset Sail
You’ll set sail from a south Maui beach, meaning you won’t have to drive far before or after your sail. You’ll be welcomed on board by a friendly and helpful crew who are there to help you enjoy the evening. During the 2 hour sail, you’ll have plenty of food — three-course appetizers (pupus in Hawaiian) — as well as an open bar. An open bar full of local spirits such as Ocean Vodka and Kula Rum, as well as wine from Ulupalakua’s MauiWine. At sunset, we pour the award-winning Lokelani Sparkling Rosé for a sunset toast. The food served on board is from The Market in Wailea, so you know it’ll be excellent. View the sunset as you cruise and enjoy a sparkling rose toast as the sun goes down.
Kai Kanani leaves from Maluaka Beach for boat loading, which can be a challenge for some people. During beach loading, you will have to wade into the ocean to reach the stairs of the boat so do plan on getting wet. But that beach loading location is very convenient for anyone staying in South Maui. Rather than drive 30 minutes up to Maalea Harbor, you can set sail closer to your hotel or vacation rental.
