It was the season, so I was able to see a lot! We even saw breaching! Although it was far away, we saw it twice right in front of us. The Japanese guide also came along and provided explanations about the highlights and why whales inhabit Maui during this time, making it a very fulfilling whale watching experience.
シーズンなのでたくさん見れました!しかもブリーチングまで!遠くでしたが正面に2回も。日本語ガイドさんも来てくださり見所とか、なぜこの時期マウイ島に生息しているのかとか、解説もしていただけたのでとても充実したホエールウォッチングでした。

I frequently saw the backs and tails of whales. Although I couldn't see them jumping like in photos, I was very satisfied with the atmosphere of slowly cruising the waters around Maui for about two hours in the early morning.
クジラの背中や尻尾は頻繁に見えた。写真のようなジャンピングは見れなかったが、早朝から2時間ほど船でマウイ島の海をゆっくりクルージングする雰囲気が大変よかったので満足。

I mistakenly remembered the date I booked online as one day later, and realized my mistake the night before what I thought was my whale watching day (the reservation was actually for that afternoon). On a whim, I called the local contact the next morning to explain the situation, and they said that while a Japanese guide wouldn't be available, I was welcome to join if that was okay. I was able to board the boat successfully! Thank you very much!
Once we headed out, I was able to see many whales, which was truly moving. They looked small in photos, but with the naked eye, I could see them much larger and closer. The sound of their tails hitting the water was incredibly powerful.
It was a relatively cloudy day, but after sitting outside for just 20 minutes, I got really sunburned, so sunscreen is a must. Also, I think those who are prone to seasickness should take precautions. Surprisingly, I found it quite comfortable to let myself be carried by the waves while sitting outside.
ネットで予約した日を1日遅く間違えて覚えており、明日はホエールウォッチングだと思った日の夜に間違いに気付きました(その日のお昼予約だったのです)。ダメ元で翌日朝に現地の連絡先に電話し事情を話すと、日本語ガイドは間に合わないがそれでもよければいらしてくださいとの事。無事上船することができました!ありがとうございました!
沖へ出るとたくさんのクジラを見ることができて感動的でした。写真では小さいですが、肉眼ではもっと大きく近くにクジラを見ることができました。
尾びれで水面を叩く音は迫力満点です。
割と雲が多い日だったのですが、外の席へ20分も座っていたらすごく日焼けしたので、日焼け止めは必須です。
また、船酔いされやすい方は対策が必要だと思います。外の席で波に身を任せるようにすると意外に楽でした。

It was my first time whale watching. I thought it would be nice to at least see the shadow of a whale, but whales appeared everywhere, which was beyond my expectations. However, I felt like we were being played with, as the boat would move towards the direction where the whales appeared, but they wouldn't show themselves easily.
初めてのホエールウォッチングでした。クジラの影でも見れたら良いな、ぐらいに考えていたのですが、あちこちにクジラが現れ、想像以上でした。ただクジラが現れた方向に船が移動するとなかなか姿を見せないなど、遊ばれているようにも感じました。

We had an incredible time on this trip. The boat was clean and the staff was courteous, friendly, and knowledgeable. Our captain was great at locating whales and she was extremely skilled at maneuvering the boat so we always had the best view. Originally I had bought my ticket for 3 days earlier however, upon arriving in Maui my husband got sick and we were unable to go. I expected to have to just eat the cost of our tickets but I called the company and Sylvia was great and rescheduled us for later in the week with no penalty. I highly recommend this company and I would use them again.

Everything was great. The instructors made it fun by their sense of humor, but you could tell that they also always had safety in mind. Felt safe at all times.
I was afraid that we would be hiking up a huge mountain or something because the description states you will do a lot of walking, however they take you up the mountain in a van. The only walking that you do is front platform to platform, which isn't much. So we were glad for that.
The views from the ziplines of the ocean were amazing. Would recommend for all.

Everything was great. The food, the drinks, the entertainment. It wasn't cheezy like I was thinking it would be. The dances actually had meaning behind them. Service was great also. Sometimes you think whenever they say "All you can drink" that they will give you like 1 drink and make you beg for the rest. Not the case here, they kept the drinks coming and they were good quality drinks.
Also liked how the local people were selling their goods around the interior. This package had everything that you could want. Great Hawaiian experience.

We participated in a honeymoon trip. The date of participation was December 25th. We were the only Japanese people, but our Japanese guide, TAKA, showed us around. Shortly after departing, we encountered a whale jumping, just like you see on TV! TAKA not only provided us with detailed information about the whales' ecology but also offered us a service-filled experience. After that, we were able to spot whales ourselves and cheer with everyone else on board. Both the whales and TAKA congratulated us on our marriage, making it a fun and memorable cruise.

We did this tour during the whale mating season so we expected to see a whale or two but what we saw was amazing. At first the whales kept their distance but after awhile they began approaching the boat. Soon dozens of whales were surrounding the boat and showing off their dives, breaches and spouting. They were close enough to spout whale 'snot' on us!! The skipper said their nearness was very unusual and he prolonged the tour by 1/2 hour.

It is hard not to recommend whale watching. Had a great time with the family. Seen a few whales up close but most activity was from a distance. A few awesome whale tails. The crew was great. If you never went whale watching this should be on the bucket list.
What to expect? A great view from either side of the boat and a relaxing day with sun. Crew members explaining whale behaviors and pointing them out so you can follow and hopefully get some great photos.

Luckily we were able to get ourselves on the next tour after missing the originally scheduled one due to the variables above.

We were totally impressed with the professionalism of the research staff on the whale watch of Dec 8. The pilot was extremely experienced and could pick up the behavior of the whales from afar to make an educated guess as to if they might come up more often than not. The attendants were knowledgeable as well providing much information as to the life cycles of the hump back whales. Many questions were answered to our satisfaction. They put a sort of a microphone to attempt to detect whale sounds although not successful they were willing to try all the technology to help us have the best experience ever. I really think luck played a big part in our amazing morning of whale watching but that being said it's worth taking a chance and we most appreciated the staffs attention to safety and providing all the education they did. The juvenile whales came right up to our boat and we're curious and playing around the boat so long the pilot had to call a sailboat over to distract them away so we could start our engine and return to shore. It was just amazing.

The cruise started off at the harbor where we checked-in, waiting to board. Once we were seated, the boat undocked and we were on our way to watch some whales. The narration was the best part of the trip. The narrators were very informative and would tell us stories. They were always on the lookout for whales and try their best to take the boat as close them as possible but it was our mis-fortune that around that time we could only spot a few whales that too for just a couple of seconds. On the other hand, the views were surreal from the middle of the ocean. They guarantee a sighting and that's exactly what we got but I wish it was for longer.

It was my daughter’s first time whale watching and I felt it was a great experience for my little one. We were able to see a couple of whales from far away, but since it was not during the peak whale watching season, we couldn’t get the full whale watching experience. I would love to come again during the peak season around February, which is what I heard is when there is the most whale activity. Other than that the view was great and I would recommend whale watching to anyone who haven’t experienced it yet. The water may be a little choppy at times so I would recommend people taking motion sickness medication for people who might be sensitive to motion sickness.
