Overview

Enjoy this 2-hour guided adventure on a double-deck power catamaran to watch the whales in their natural habitat. Depending on the whales’ behavior during your whale watching trip, you may see the whales slapping the surface with pectoral fins (their very long side fins), flukes (the tail), the peduncle (the strong muscles attaching the tail to the rest of the body) and the breach, this is when the whale rises completely out of the water and crashes down again. 

Itinerary

This double-deck power catamaran leaves from Ma'alaea Harbor and can bring you to the whales quickly. Juices and sodas are included, all kinds of drinks are available for purchase, and there are restrooms on board. The humpback whales return to Hawaii for a few months each year to mate and give birth. The trip takes you out to see for two hours, with a professional guide, these amazing animals from December to April.

Great time. The captain was very informative on the whales and keep the boat engaged with fun facts and questions from the group. Also got us on a family of whales several times during the trip.

Although it was at the end of the season they still found a couple of families of whales for us to watch. The crew was very friendly and accommodating.

Almost miss the boat ride. The boat name was change. No follow up email or notifications. Details was to wait at the store and not the boat dock. Need to correct information for tour. Whale was present. But not impressed with guide and fake whale noises.

From beginning to end the crew and Captain took great care of us! The easiness of getting on board and getting settled was great for my family of four (2 kids under 3). We were able to see multiple whales, even this late in the season. The captain gave us some good lessons and history on the whales as well we learned a lot! Would recommend this tour for sure and we enjoyed our experience!
