Trip Details
Aboard Kaha Loa you’re not limited to just one activity for the day. The crew of Kahalo specializes in custom charters from Maui’s Lahaina harbor. Charters are available in the morning and afternoon daily. Morning trips typically leave around 8am. Afternoons between 12 – 2pm, be we can adjust the times as necessary.
Popular Maui activities include:
- Fishing. Top of the line equipment and a wide variety of lures to target any game fish in Hawaii, both trolling (sportfishing) or bottom fishing. If you’re a dedicated fisherman, we can be out at the buoys at dawn, but many families enjoy fishing nearer to shore, so they can enjoy a little snorkeling once the’ve landed your dinner!
- Snorkeling and SCUBA diving! GoPro, and an underwater point-and-shoot cameras ar available to capture the fun (additional charges apply for SCUBA)
- Whale watching! Every year, thousands of whales migrate down from Alaska to spend the cold winter months of December through April in the warm waters of Hawaii. During whale season you can’t miss ’em. Kaha Loa carries a hydrophone so that you can listen to whale songs through the boat’s speakers.
- Swimming with turtles. Everyone loves turtles, and this crew knows right where to find them.
- Stand-up paddle boarding. Take the board out to explore sea cliffs and caves up close, or get towed behind the boat for some extra excitement!
- Sunset cruise. Bring your adult beverages, pupus (appetizers), and cameras. Two hours is all you need for a sunset cruise along the coast.
