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.

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for kids on this whale watching tour?

A: There isn't a strict age limit, but kids should be at least 5 years old to enjoy the experience safely. The raft can be a bit bumpy, so younger children might find it challenging. If you have a little one, it's better to check with the crew beforehand for any specific concerns.

Q: What if the weather is bad on the day of the tour?

A: If the weather conditions aren't safe, the tour operators will usually offer to reschedule your trip or provide a full refund. It's great to check their cancellation policy when booking, just to be sure!

Q: What should I wear on the raft tour?

A: Dress in layers since it can get chilly on the water. I'd recommend a light jacket and comfortable shoes; flip-flops are fine too, but be cautious! Also, don’t forget your reef safe sunscreen and a hat. They provide water, but bring your own snacks if you think you’ll need them.

Just got back from the whale watching tour in Maui!

OMG, we just did the 2-hour whale watching tour from Lahaina and it was AMAZING! The small raft made it so personal, and our guide was super passionate about the whales. We saw plenty of humpbacks and even got to hear their songs through the hydrophone. I can't recommend it enough if you're looking for a unique experience in Maui! Just wish I'd brought a better camera for the pics!

Considering gifting the whale watching tour - need advice!

I'm thinking about getting this whale watching tour in Maui for my partner's birthday. We've always wanted to see whales up close! Is it worth it to spend the money? Also, is the boat pretty stable? I just want to make sure it's a good experience.
