Scenic Ride

Reviewed by: kerry

Very much a book cruise. Scenery was beautiful and staff were super friendly, but no information on whales other than that is was whale season. being on the boat was wonderful and can't beat the view and we did see whales, but I wish I hadn't had the mai tai as too strong for me. Bus was fun!

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.

Great dinner cruise! treated us so well! We were treated courteously by the entire crew. The food was served well spaced out and was VERY good! Both of my sons had the steak and the commented it was cooked exactly how they liked it. I had the shrimp with a delicious sauce on it- WOW! The sunset views were spectacular. The Captain also did a great job with steering us out to smooth waters and I diid not feel seasick at all! I highly recommend for anyone!

Incredible views, incredible crew!

Reviewed by: Jillian Godwin

Absolute must do while in Maui. We saw several whale pods, mama whales showing their young how to wave, and excellent views of the coastline and Molokai. The crew and captain were fantastic, high energy, knowledgeable, and kept the drinks flowing. Food was pretty good, definitely go with the short rib! The catamaran was pristine and well maintained. Instructions for boarding and exiting were easy to understand. I cannot express enough how much the 3 of us enjoyed this tour. We keep saying it was an epic day. So memorable and enjoyable.

Well worth the price and great crew

Reviewed by: OgZapper

They had a great crew and did everything to make the trip wonderful: small group and lots of fun. Well worth the price.
The only reason I gave them 4 stars is that we bought water shoes for the trip and found out when we got there it was barefoot only. Would have done things differently had I known.

It was later in their Whale season, didn't know if we would see many. We were not disappointed, at one point we were in Whale Jail (surrounded by them). We loved it.

The staff were so knowledgeable, learned so much about the Humpbacks.

Definitely would do this again.

Maui Kayaks West Maui Whale Watching Tour & Reef Snorkel [Jan - Mar]

Wonderful experience. Highly recommended

Reviewed by: Y. Bashir

The tour guide took us into the ocean beyond the cruise ship (as in the picture below). We saw whales and heard a whale singing from under the Kayaks. Most beautiful experience. I’m not a pro at kayaking, but the guide was always looking out to keep us up with the more avid kayakers. He had all the answers to our questions. Could not snorkel that day as the water was murky. Had a wonderful time. I would do it all over again given the chance.
