Overview

The whale watching tour aboard the double-deck power catamaran Quicksilver departs from Ma'alaea Harbor in Maui. The two-hour trip travels quickly to the areas where humpback whales gather from December to April to mate and give birth. Passengers can observe whales performing behaviors such as slapping the surface with their long pectoral fins, lifting their tail flukes, moving the peduncle muscles, and breaching by leaping out of the water and landing back with force. The tour includes underwater hydrophones that allow guests to listen to whale songs, accompanied by an informative narration about the whales and their environment. The boat has two restrooms and a shaded cabin to ensure comfort during the trip. Ice-cold sodas and juices are provided, while additional beverages, including alcoholic drinks, are available for purchase. The captain and crew are professional, friendly, experienced, and focused on safety. Guests must park at Maui Harbor Shops located at 300 Ma'alaea Road and check in 30 minutes before departure at Boss Frog's, also on Ma'alaea Road, where a crew member assists with boarding. The tour operates in most weather conditions. Children must be accompanied by adults, and the minimum drinking age is 21. Cancellations or reschedules require at least 24 hours' notice. Cash tips for the crew are accepted.
