Attentive crew - saw many whales

Reviewed by: Rivercitymom

Overall the boat was comfortable and had space to move around if you wanted to. Crew was attentive and served up drinks and packaged snacks to anyone interested. We learned a lot about the whales, their habits and why they are in Hawaii. We had a very enjoyable time and would recommend this company.

Sunset Whale Watch Tour & Thrilling Ocean Raft Adventure - Koa Kai [Dec - Apr]

Incredible experience!

Reviewed by: Jana

We had an amazing experience on the sunset raft whale watching excursion. Our guides, Luke and Nick, were superb and told us so many facts about the whales. They were attentive to both my teenagers and my 9 year old, providing them with snacks and drinks and making sure that they had a great experience. We saw whales breaching and babies swimming close to the raft. It was the highlight of our trip.

PacWhale Eco-Adventures 2-Hour Whale Watching Tours from Maalaea [Nov-Apr]

Far exceeded our expectations!

Reviewed by: Meghan M

This tour was amazing. We went in February during peak whale watching season and saw so many more whales than we were expecting. There were almost no breaks in whale sightings during the two hour experience. The entire crew was fun and professional, especially Taylor who spoke almost the entire time to point out whale sightings, give us fun facts and information about whales, and discuss the importance of conservation. We rented binoculars in the store, which I would recommend to enhance the experience. The views were also incredible of Maui and surrounding islands.

A whale came close to us. クジラが間近まできました

Reviewed by: なお

In the first week of January, the sea was calm, and I was able to join the tour without getting seasick. The boat was also large. We got really close to the whales at the viewing point, and we could see them well. The drinks were all-you-can-drink, and they brought them to us when we ordered, but we could also go to the counter to get them. The service was good as well. Since you can get sunburned, sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses are essential.

1月の1週目、海は穏やかで船酔いすなことなくツアーに参加できました。船も大きかった。ポイントについてすぐ近くまでクジラがきて良く見えました。ドリンクも飲み放題でオーダーすると持ってきてくれましたし、カウンターに取りに行くこともできました。サービスも良かったです。日焼けするので日焼け止め、帽子サングラスは必須です。

Early morning flights are a great deal. 早朝便はお得

Reviewed by: バインセオ

I chose this tour thinking that a large ship would be less rocky since I was with elderly people. It was a two-story boat, and we were able to sit at the front on the second floor. The boat's rocking was minimal.

There was a complimentary soft drink service, but it wasn't distributed to everyone; instead, those who wanted it had to go get it themselves. My family was so focused on watching the whales that we didn't take advantage of it.

We were able to see many whales, but we didn't get very close to them, which was a bit disappointing. However, I was satisfied overall. On a previous whale watching tour, the boat was smaller, and we could see the whales up close, which felt more thrilling, so I was a little let down this time, but I think it's just a matter of luck.

I heard that whales can be seen at any time of day, so I think the early morning trips are a good deal.

The parking lot had information about free parking in the tour's pre-explanation document, so we parked according to that. There are several free parking areas in Lahaina.

高齢者が一緒だったので、大型船の方が揺れが少ないと思い、このツアーを選びました。2階建ての船で、2階の前方に座ることができました。
船の揺れは少なかったです。
無料のソフトドリンクサービスがついていたのですが、全員に配られるのではなく、欲しい人が取りに行くという方法でした。鯨を見るのに夢中だった我が家は利用しませんでした。

鯨は沢山見ることができましたが、すぐ近くで、という状況にはなかなかならず、でも満足でした。以前参加したホエールウォッチングツアーの方が船が小さかったせいか、鯨もすぐ近くで見られてより迫力を感じられたので、ちょっと残念でしたが、こればかりは運だと思います。
どの時間帯でも鯨は見られるとのことなので、早朝便はお得だと思います。

駐車場は、ツアーの事前説明書に無料の駐車場の案内もあるので、そちらに従って停めました。ラハイナには無料の駐車場は何か所かあります。
