Maui is the undisputed whale watching capital of Hawaii.
Maui is the prime spot in Hawaii for viewing hundreds of humpback whales from November through May as thousands congregate in the warm waters off the coast to eat, mate, and raise their young. Witness these magnificent creatures in their natural environment with an educational and fun boat cruise from Maui’s whale watching experts.
Since 1980, the non-profit Pacific Whale Foundation has focused on studying and protecting whales, and marine life and the oceans more broadly, through research and educating the public. Their passion and expertise is on full display on their tours as certified marine naturalists and biologists explain the whales’ social behavior and let you listen to whale songs through an underwater hydrophone. All profits from your tickets go directly towards their important work of protecting the oceans through science and advocacy. Whale sightings are guaranteed (97% success rate) or go again for free within 1 year. A whale poster and color whale watch guide is given to each party, and most of the cruises include a junior naturalist program to teach and inspire the younger ones.
