Our small group tours of 16 guests or less make for a fun, family style experience.

Your 2 hour tour includes searching for active whales and stopping to watch them, a full narration of interesting whale and Maui facts by our marine naturalist, listening to whale songs on a hydrophone, water onboard and lots of photo ops! The Humpback Whale returns to the warm Hawaiian waters every year during the winter months of December through April for their mating and calving season.

Traveler Reviews

Jeff and Zach were our guides on this trip. My wife and I took the 4:30 to 6:30 pm excursion out. We saw a lot of whales. We even saw a whale jump out of the water and slap it’s taken multiple times at us. We also got to experience a spectacular sunset. The excursion was wonderful and would recommend it.

Jamie and Reese were amazing!!! They did everything possible and more, to make sure we would all have a great experience! They were as excited as we all were to see the whales right up by the boat! So Cool!

Enjoyable experience and we got to see some whales! It was fun going out onthe raft verses a larger boat. Guides were knowledgeable and friendly!!

Even though we didn't see too much activity with the whales, it's still the best boat for seeing whales

We saw so many whales it was amazing!! Great crew. I would highly recommend this adventure. One whale was turquoise and you could see it move about
