Maui Whale Watch Cruise from Lahaina -Temporarily Not Available [Dec-May]

Kaulana Whale Watch Cruise from Lahaina Harbor

Reviewed by: Blair N

It was a great cruise and saw many whales, had the chance to listen to them and the crew did a great job explaining much about the humpback whale, the travels to Alaska and back, and made the trip fun. Thanks to them! This was something my wife has wanted to do for a long time and she thoroughly enjoyed it!

The same life on Earth 地球上の同じ命

Reviewed by: kiko

It was my first time seeing a whale up close. I was very moved by the sight of it swimming while spouting water and the image of a mother and calf swimming together, realizing that they are lives living on the same planet. When the captain spotted the whale, he brought the boat closer, and I think I was able to enjoy the experience. Thank you very much.

真近でクジラを見たのは初めてでした。潮をふきながら泳いでいる姿や母と子が一緒に泳ぐ姿に同じ地球上で暮らす命なんだととても感動しました。クジラの姿が見えると船長さんが船を近づけて下さり、楽しませて貰えたとおもいます。ありがとうございました。

I participated in the early morning plan with my wife. Although we couldn't see the sunrise, we were welcomed by many whales. We went to Maui specifically for this, so I am satisfied that we achieved our goal. I would like to participate again if the opportunity arises.

妻と早朝プランに参加しました。ライジングなどは見られませんでしたが、多くのクジラが迎えてくれました。今回はこのためにマウイに行ったので目的が達成できて満足です。また、機会があれば参加したいです。

Reviewed by: Sharon Lockwood

Our 7:30 a.m. Kaulana Whale Watching Cruise from Lahaina Harbor well exceeded our expectations. The whales were so plentiful the day we went out, swimming and breaching in every direction. So much so, we never really knew where to look. It was, by far, one of the best activities we partook in while in Hawaii. It was one of the most incredible events all of us had a privilege of witnessing
Thank you Veltra Tours for an incredible morning! :)

The title indicates the Kaulana whale watch but we were on the maui princess

Reviewed by: Paulette Cieslak

The boat was late coming into the dock mainly because a cruise ship had shuttles in the dock space for our ship. We didn't board the boat until at least 15-20 minutes after it was supposed to have left. I felt the harbor was overly accomadating to the cruise ship.
The young man narrating did a pretty good job though it was difficult to hear him at times.
We did see some whales which was nice.

Whale watching 鯨ウォッチング

Reviewed by: Shoko

A late lunch at Buzz's Wharf restaurant located at Maalaea Harbor. I parked my car behind the restaurant (free). The shrimp fry sandwich was delicious. Since our boarding was delayed, both the captain and the whale expert were very generous, and we thoroughly enjoyed the watching experience. The whales approached the boat that had its engine off, which was quite exciting! The captain remembered my first name and was very pleasant. The Trilogy boat is smaller, so it was much better than the boat I rode on before. On larger boats, it can be hard to see because of the crowd. Since the sun is strong, a hat and sunscreen are essential. Inside the boat, you take off your shoes, so I recommend wearing socks that are easy to remove or sandals without a sole. On the way back, I bought a whale T-shirt at the shop inside the Ocean Center. I definitely want to come back next year!

集合場所のMaalaeaハーバーにあるBuzz's wharf レストランでちょっと遅いランチ。車はレストランの裏に停めました(無料) 。エビフライサンドイッチ美味しかったです。乗船が予定の時間より遅れたので、船長も鯨の専門家のお兄さんも大サービスでウォッチングを堪能しました。鯨もエンジンを停めた船に近づいて来て結構エキサイトしました!船長はファーストネームを憶えてくれていて、とても感じの良い対応でした。トリロジーの船は小さめなので、以前乗った船より、ずっと良かったです。大きな船は人が邪魔で良く見えない事もあります。日差しが強いので、帽子と日焼け止めは必携です。船内は靴を脱いで裸足になるので、すぐに脱げる靴下を履くか、素足にサンダルが良いと思います。帰りにはオーシャンセンター内のショップで鯨のTシャツを買いました。来年も絶対来たいです!!

I recommend it. おすすめです

Reviewed by: うみがめ

Since it was close to the hotel, I chose the tour departing from Kaanapali, but on the day of the tour, due to strong winds, I confirmed whether the tour would be canceled and found out it had been changed to depart from Lahaina. On the boat, I sat in the empty front seats without thinking, and ended up getting splashed by big waves several times. Looking back, it seems the English-speaking guide had warned us about that... On the boat, the staff distributed juice and water, and the guide continuously explained about the whales (of course, in English). When the whales actually appeared, everyone got excited and it was a lot of fun. I think it's highly recommended to go to Maui during this season.

ホテルから近いのでカアナパリ発にしたのですが、当日強風だったためツアーが中止にならないかを確認したら、ラハイナ発へ変更となっていました。船では、何も考えずに空いている先頭の席に座ったところ、何度か大波をかぶってしまう羽目に。考えてみれば、英語のガイドさんが注意していたような。。。船では、スタッフがジュースやお水を配ってくれて、ガイドさんがずっとクジラの解説をしてくれます(当然英語ですが)。実際クジラが現れると、みんなであっちだこっちだと大騒ぎとなり、とっても楽しかったです。この時期マウイに行くならおすすめだと思います。

The tour was canceled due to bad weather on the day of the event, but I was able to reschedule for the next day.

And that was the best decision! The next day, whales were popping up everywhere, and at one point, a pod of whales was right beneath the boat, surfacing around us multiple times. It was amazing!

I'm glad I didn't give up and participated.

The whale experience was good and the boat met the needs of all. The whales weren't real "active" but that is nature!
The only issue I had was printing off the ticket voucher. We were in a condo with no print access so I had to ask a neighbour to print it after emailing it to them. Not sure how you fix this but it was a minor inconvenience.

I was worried about the time changes, but it turned out that as long as you can speak a little English, it's not a problem. I was able to see the whales up close, which was more than I expected, and it was truly moving. There were no Japanese people around, and there was no Japanese guide at all, but if you're just there to see, it's not an issue. I want to go again.

I was able to see a whale breaching. 鯨のブリーチングも見れました

Reviewed by: surfstyle

The whale watching plan at the Kaanapali Beach Hotel was a cozy experience, not on a large boat leaving from Lahaina Harbor, but rather on a smaller vessel that accommodates about 30 people. The tour guide, captain, and staff were full of hospitality, and they would bring you soft drinks and snacks for free upon request, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in whale watching.

While I saw several whales passing by, I was disappointed that there weren't any standout moments. However, in the latter part of the tour, I was thrilled to witness five consecutive breaches, which was incredibly moving.

You board the boat from Kaanapali Beach, so I recommend wearing clothes that are okay to get wet or something that covers your knees. You can park your car in the hotel’s multi-story parking lot. After the tour, if you get your parking ticket stamped at the beach kiosk, it's free, but you must submit the stamped parking ticket at the hotel entrance bell desk for the free processing when you leave. There are no attendants at the parking lot exit, so if you get stuck there, you might face honking from the cars behind you. Please be careful.

After our tour, we went shopping at the nearby Whalers Village before processing our parking ticket, which saved us some parking fees.

カアナパリビーチホテルのホエールウォッチングプランで、ラハイナ港から出る大きな船ではなく、30名くらいしか乗船できないアットホームなプランでした。
ツアーガイドも船長もスタッフもホスピタリティ満載で、ソフトドリンクや軽食も頼めばフリーで持ってきてくれますので、鯨観察に没頭できます。
通りすがりの鯨は何頭も見たのですが、これといったシーンがなく残念に思っていた後半に、なんと5連続で鯨のブリーチングを見ることができ、大感動でした。

船には、カアナパリビーチから乗り込みますから、ひざ上位の服か、水にぬれてもOKという服装で参加したほうが良いと思います。
車は、ホテルの立体駐車場に停めます。ツアー参加後にビーチキオスクで駐車印を押してもらえばタダですが、車を出すときに、ホテル入口のベルデスクで駐車印を押したパーキングチケットを提出して無料処理をしてもらわないと出られなくなります。
駐車場出口の所には係員がいませんから、そこで立ち往生すると後続の車からブーイングです。ご注意ください。
我が家は、ツアー参加後に近くのホエラーズビレッジで買い物をしてから駐車券処理をしたので、駐車料金も浮きました。

I participated in the early bird plan with a discount, thinking it would be great if I could see whales. Just as I expected, I was able to see whales right in front of me, and fortunately, there was a whale playing in the area for about an hour, so I got to see tail splashes multiple times. I was a bit worried about parking in Lahaina, but thanks to the early morning plan, I could park freely in a nearby public parking lot. After whale watching, I was able to stroll through the streets of Lahaina, so I feel like I made good use of my day.

早起きプランで割引もあり、これで鯨が見られるのなら最高と思い参加しました。
期待通りに鯨を目の前で見ることができ、幸運なのか1時間位そのあたりで遊んでいる鯨だったので、テイルスプラッシュも何度も見ることができました。
ラハイナは駐車場だけが少し心配だったのですが、早朝プランのおかげで近くのパブリックパーキングにも停め放題で、鯨ウォッチングの後、ラハイナの街並みを散歩することもできたので、一日を有効に使えた気がします。

In December, the tour just started a couple of days ago. It was about a two-hour cruise, and we saw whales about three times in the distance. Although we didn't see many whales, the guide and the crew were kind, and above all, the sea was very beautiful, making for a pleasant cruise. It might be good to note that there are still fewer whales in December compared to January or February.

Whale Watch

Reviewed by: newbie to scuba

We saw whales doing different things. We saw the tails and back of the whales as they swam and they were completely oblivious to us. I was hoping to see whales up close. But the state law does not allow the boat to get close. So they were not really that impressive from that far away.

Reply from activity provider

Thank you for your review! We are glad you saw whales! When it is peak season of Whale Watching you are sure to get much closer to them! It is truly an amazing experience. State law does not allow the boat to go towards the whales when they are near, however many times they will come up to the boat and we turn the engines off and that is legal if they come up to your vessel. We have had them 'cruise' around our boats for over an hour! We hope to have you again in the future! Mahalo! Lahaina Cruise Company - Hawaii Ocean Project

Reviewed by: olive_isl

On March 29, 2013, I went with my family of three (10-year-old boy). We were able to see quite a few spouts here and there and encountered more whales than we expected. Thanks to the captain searching for various spots, we were able to see them frequently, which was moving. Of course, we were also able to take pictures of tails and jumps. I brought my EOS Kiss X6i with a 135mm lens, but for more impactful photos, a 300mm lens might be better.

It was quite windy on the water, making it very cold, so a jacket is essential. The boat also swayed a lot, so preparation and readiness are necessary. However, my wife, who usually gets seasick, was able to enjoy the tour without any issues. We drove directly to the meeting point (Lahaina Dock) with a rental car. There is free street parking for up to three hours, but considering our plans to explore Lahaina afterward, we parked in a public lot ($16 for 2-6 hours). Since it was an early morning plan, both options were available, but it might be difficult to find parking nearby if you go later in the day.

2013/3/29に家族3人(10歳/男)で行ってきました。
結構あちらこちらで潮吹きが見られ、思ったより沢山のクジラに遭遇することができました。

I participated in a very affordable early morning plan. Shortly after departure, we spotted whales, and the excitement on the boat was incredible!

It was quite windy and cold on the boat, so a jacket is necessary. Still, taking pictures of the whales is quite challenging.

出発して間もなくクジラの姿が見えてきて船上は大興奮!!
さらに走っていくと、あちらでもこちらでもクジラが現れ一体どこを見たらよいのか!!??状態でした。
クジラってグループで行動しているんですね、親子だけかと思っていたのですが今回初めて知ることができました。
船上はけっこう風が強くて寒いですので上着は必要。
それにしても、クジラの写真を撮るのは難しいです(::)
