Highlights
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.

About Maui
Maui is the Hawaiian island of golden beaches, the Haleakalā volcano and the winding Road to Hana, with humpback whales offshore in winter.
Maui is the second-largest Hawaiian island, formed by two volcanic mountains joined by a low isthmus. Haleakalā, a vast dormant volcano rising over 3,000 metres, has a crater of coloured cinder and is famed for its sunrises and starry skies. The beaches of Kāʻanapali and Kapalua on the west face the sunset, and Wailea and Makena on the south coast have calm golden bays.
Top-ranked sights in Maui: Road to Hana (Hana Highway), Molokini Crater, Waiʻanapanapa State Park.
