About this activity

You'll depart Lahaina Harbor and go out in search of humpback whales who migrate every year from Alaska to Maui to mate and breed. Seeing the amazing ocean giants is an experience you'll never forget. Pec and tail slaps to full breaches, whales coming up to the boat....it can be an amazing show which never fails to bring a smile to one's face.

Throughout the tour, our certified Marine Naturalists will provide educational talks and interpretation of the whale behaviors you are witnessing. There is even a free Jr. Naturalist Program for kids so that they can learn and enjoy their experience as well. Moreover, whale sightings are guaranteed or you will get a gift certificate to go again for free.

These cruises are offered on smooth riding, double-deck, eco-friendly catamarans built for comfort, stability and viewing. The upper deck provides excellent panoramic views and a higher viewing angle, but there is also ample space to move around and shaded cabins below deck. Sodas, juices, alcohol and snacks are also available for purchase inside the bottom deck cabin, as well as two restrooms.

This was an excellent tour. The ship captain and the narrator were very good and knowledgeable. The team was very interactive with those on board, both top deck and bottom deck. On February 24, we saw lots of whales, including a baby whale practicing its breaching.

Interesting trip but boat we were allocated to was too big with too many people which strictly limited the viewing opportunities. Just two of us but we were added to a large group from a cruise ship which was not ideal. No prior warning that this would be the situation. Two days previous we had the opportunity to do the activity on a smaller boat, impromptu decision as we feared the weather may close in and that experience outshone this one. Had we not done the previous trip then may have scored the activity higher. Expert on board was informative but the way the boat was manouvered meant that large parts of the boat did not present a view of the whales. Overall whilst a memorable experience the organisation was disappointing. Take a smaller vessel to get the best experience.

It was OK, I had thought that I had reserved for the smaller rubber boat tour not the crowed large boat.

Crew was very good and knowledgeable. The weather was not cooperative with relatively rough seas making it uncomfortable for several of the guests. Overall it was a good tour and would have probably been great if the seas were calmer.
