Overview

The Maui Whale Watching Boat Tour from Lahaina departs from Lahaina Harbor on Maui. The tour uses inflatable rafting vessels modeled after Coast Guard rescue rafts. These boats are low to the water, providing close views of humpback whales and a stable platform for photography. The tour lasts between one hour and forty-five minutes and two hours and ten minutes. Small groups ensure that every seat faces the whale activity. A marine naturalist is onboard to provide educational talks about the whales. Guests can listen to whale songs through a hydrophone during the tour. Captains focus on locating whales that display surface activity and behaviors suitable for photographs. Trips operate from December through April and include a sighting guarantee; if no whales are seen, guests may take a free repeat trip. Bottled water is included. Gratuities are not included. The company has been locally owned and operated since 1982 and supports marine research and whale entanglement response efforts. Children under three years old and pregnant guests are not permitted on this tour.
