Overview

This 90-minute boat tour starts at the Kihei Boat Ramp, where guests should arrive 30 minutes before departure to check in and use free parking. The tour takes place on a large, stable raft designed for a faster ride, allowing more time to observe humpback whales in one of Hawaii's top whale-watching areas off Maui’s southern coast. During the cruise, the onboard marine naturalist provides commentary about the whales, and participants can listen to whale sounds through a hydrophone. The group size is limited to 20 passengers, smaller than many whale tours, which helps create a more personal experience. The route passes by Wailea Beach and Keawakapu Beach as the raft moves through the whale habitat. The tour guarantees whale sightings. Guests should note that this tour is not suitable for pregnant passengers or those with back or neck injuries.
