Overview
Our small group, 2-hour whale watching tours offer an intimate experience that larger boats can’t match. Departing from Mala Ramp in Lahaina, we visit the Maui Nui Whale Sanctuary, where humpbacks gather every winter to mate and give birth. With guaranteed whale sightings from December to April, or your next trip is free, you’ll witness these majestic whales up close.
What makes us unique is our focus on an immersive, educational experience. Enjoy front-row seats on our custom-built raft, guided by our marine naturalist, and listen to the whales’ songs using our onboard hydrophone.
As a family-owned business since 1992, we’re passionate about offering eco-friendly whale watching tours that foster a love for the ocean. We believe people protect what they love, and our mission is to inspire guests to appreciate and conserve Maui’s marine life through meaningful encounters with nature.
Itinerary
Whales guaranteed — see humpbacks or your next trip is free (or your money back, your choice).
A maximum of 20 guests on a low-riding raft, so every seat is at eye level with the whales, and a hydrophone aboard so you hear them sing.
Every winter, humpback whales migrate to the warm, crystal-clear waters around Maui to mate and give birth; our 2-hour tour from Lahaina is the closest way to see them.
When you join us for one of the top-rated whale watching tours in Maui, you’ll experience an intimate, small group adventure with 360-degree views of the ocean.
Our experienced captain and crew are passionate about Maui’s humpbacks and will share their extensive knowledge, ensuring you learn about the whales while enjoying the awe of seeing them in their natural habitat.
To make this adventure even more immersive, we provide a hydrophone and high-quality speakers, so you can listen to the enchanting whale songs right from the boat!
This trip is family-friendly and perfect for anyone looking to experience the best whale watching on Maui, on an eco-friendly tour where every seat is a front-row seat for watching the humpback whales up close.
