Overview
ItineraryMake your own way to the Kihei dock to board your whale-watching vessel. Your captain welcomes you aboard the rigid-hulled raft, which is designed to cruise with ease through ocean waters. This allows your captain to locate whales quickly so that you have more time to observe the mighty mammals. You’ll be heading into the most heavily populated waters for whale activity in the Hawaiian Islands, giving you optimum chances for sightings.Hear informative commentary by your onboard marine naturalist, who explains the humpbacks’ behavior, biology and territory. Learn why populations have rebounded from a low of just 1,400 whales in 1966 to approximately 21,000 whales in 2014. The adults can weigh anywhere from 25-40 tons (22-37 metric tons), while newborns start out weighing around one ton (900 kilograms). You might also see spinner dolphins, bottlenose dolphins or spotted dolphins dancing around the raft during your cruise. The playful creatures sometimes leap out of the water near the boat or ride in its wake. Keep cool under the sunshade, and be prepared for a misting of ocean spray from time to time during your 90-minute cruise. Nonalcoholic drinks are provided.

Had a great time on this whale watch! We had done another whale watch while on a large double decker, but this one had an exciting boat ride. The boat travelled really fast and it was nice to be with a small group. The guides made this really enjoyable - very knowledgeable, funny, friendly, and taught us so many facts about whales! Of course it’s all luck, but we saw a few breaches which was awesome. This was a really quick and convenient drive if you’re staying on S. Kihei Road. Would recommend!

Great documentary, nice hosts, and skillful enough to get to close to the whales by letting them approach us. Thanks!
