Sunrise Whale Watching from Ma’alaea

Capture the first whale sighting of the day as the sun rises over Haleakala. The golden light of dawn is a spectacular backdrop for whale watching and a favorite of photographers. Typically this is also the calmest time of day on the ocean. Sunrise Whalewatch is led by certified Marine Naturalists for fun and informative interpretation of humpback whale behaviors and characteristics. Departs from conveniently located Ma'alaea Harbor; an easy drive from Kihei, Wailea, Makena, Paia, Upcountry, Wailuku and Kahului. Whale sightings are guaranteed or you can go again free on another whale watch of equal or lesser value within one year. We are proud of our 97% sighting success rate.
