All Reviews for Maalaea Harbor & Ocean Center

Smooth sailing, saw dolphins and whale.
We were lucky!!

We had such a great time! This was our first fishing charter and it didn’t disappoint! We not only got to fish but we also seen whales, dolphins, and a shark! It was the best part of our trip. The captain and the crew are AMAZING and entertaining. Totally give them 10/10!

We had 25 people on the boat and had plenty of room. The crew was great. We caught fish, snorkeled and saw so many whales. This boat comes highly recommended!

Josh was an excellent tour guide. He is very knowledgeable about the island and it’s history.

I didn’t think the under water tunnel to be the same as the advertised.
Everything else was very informative

Purchasing tickets was very cumbersome. Why do we need a user name and password for something I may never use again.

We had a great time. Saw whale they gave us history and information about the whales today. Thank you

Great experience with all parties in my family. Make sure to bring a professional camera to capture the whale closely.

This was my first time on Maui, and since it was whale watching season, I prayed for a chance to see them and made a reservation. I was filled with anxiety due to the strong winds from the day before, and on the day itself, the weather was gloomy and the sea was rough.

After about 10 minutes of setting out, I spotted a whale's spout! From there, we encountered whales continuously! Since it's nature, you never know what to expect, but I think it's a tour that can be greatly enjoyed!

初マウイ島、ホエールウォッチングの季節なので、出会える事を祈って申し込みさせて頂きました。
前日からの強風に不安しか無く、当日もドンヨリ天気に海は荒々💦
不安しか無く出向🚢💨

出向する事10分程度で鯨の潮吹きを発見！
そこからは引っ切り無しに鯨に遭遇！
自然相手なので何とも言えませんが、大いに楽しめるツアーだと思います！

I think it can be summed up in one word: amazing. This time, I experienced multiple activities on the Big Island, Maui, and Oahu, but without a doubt, the most fun was this tour.

- I chose a plan that allowed me to experience both snorkeling and snuba. There were about 20 participants on the boat, and around 80% of them opted for this plan. The water clarity around Molokini Island was fantastic, and it would be a shame to just stick to snorkeling.
- I believe anyone can do snuba as long as they listen carefully to the pre-activity instructions.
- We were able to see whales a few times while on the boat heading to Molokini Island.
- The guide was wonderful, and their attentiveness and ability to energize the group were top-notch. Many of the other crew members were also a lot of fun.
- Since the guide was in English, it might be challenging for those who aren't proficient in English.
- The rental for a wetsuit is $10. Additionally, snorkeling and snuba at Turtle Town require an extra $50 payment. Both payments were made in cash after getting off the boat (definitely worth it).

最高の一言に尽きると思います。今回私はハワイ島→マウイ島→オアフ島の3か所で複数アクティビティを体験しましたが、間違いなく1番楽しかったのがこのツアーでした。

・シュノーケルとスヌーバの両方を体験可能なプランにしました。船内には20人程度の参加者がいましたが、8割程度がこのプランでした。モロキニ島水域の透明度は素晴らしく、シュノーケリングで終わらせるのはもったいないと思います
・スヌーバは事前の説明さえちゃんと聞いていれば誰でも出来ると思います
・モロキニ島に向かう船上でクジラも数回見ることができました
・ガイドさんがまた素晴らしく、気の配り方や盛り上げ方も最高でした。他のクルーも楽しい方が多かったです
・英語ガイドさんなので、英語がからっきしの方は難しいかも知れません
・ウェットスーツ貸し出しは10USDです。また、タートルタウンでのシュノーケリング・スヌーバは追加で50USD払う必要があります。いずれも船を降りた後に現金で支払いでした（支払う価値ありです）

Really great day trip. Super convenient and comfortable ferry ride to Lanai. Our rental car canceled our Jeep at the last minute, claiming they did not have one, even though we paid in full months in advance, but a second company, “cheap jeeps “, came to our rescue, saying that they had to do the same thing for other people. Lots of fun for a day trip from Maui.

10/10 highly recommend this tour! Best bang for your buck. Great staff and accommodations! Loved all the food and beverages as well as getting to know the captain and his crew. The snorkel gear and wetsuits were top notch, too. We will definitely do this again next time we visit.

Our family had an amazing time snorkeling and whale watching. The food was also very good and everyone had plenty to eat. Our favorite part was the wonderful crew. They were funny and kind and engaging and made us all feel super comfortable, mostly our 5 and 7 year old. This boat was great for kids and had a few options for them to be able to see the underwater life. We had plenty of time to snorkel and then lots of relaxing time in the boat to see a ton of humpback whales. We are already planning our Four Winds snorkel trip next year!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the dinner cruise. We enjoyed great food, company, saw whales, and just relaxed and took it in.

Amazing adventure!! The ferry was easy, quick, and comfy! Josh picked us up and shared souch history, knowledge, and experience with us!!! Definitely recommend!!!

Excellent snorkel with plenty of tropical fish and sea turtles sightings throughout, and the taco bar lunch was quite tasty.

The crew was friendly and attentive, the live music created a relaxing vibe.

The tour explored remote beaches, rugged coastlines, and scenic viewpoints with plenty of photo stops.

The crew was friendly and attentive making everyone feel safe and comfortable on board.

The aquarium is beautifully designed and very well maintained, with exhibits that showcase Hawaii’s unique marine life! Our family had a grand day here.

This cruise offers a perfect balance of scenic views, good food, and a laid-back vibes!

Our tour leader, Clive, was full of information and island stories. He made the tour “come alive,” and we feel we know much more about the island.

On Maui, the best time for whale watching is from December 15 to April 15, but it seems that whales start arriving around October. The two-hour cruise involves searching for whales, moving here and there. The moments when you can see them are brief, so you need to constantly scan the surface of the water.

マウイ島では12月15日〜4月15日までがホエールウオッチングに最適の期間とのことですが、10月くらいからクジラはやってくるようです。２時間のクルーズはクジラを探すためにあっちいったりこっちいったり。見える瞬間は短いので、常に海面を探す必要あり。

Narration by Gracie-Ann was outstanding & the whales too put on quite a show !

Ride was pleasant! Saw whales and dolphins on our ferry over and back!

The food was excellent, the staff were super friendly, and the experience itself couldn't be beat! Photos were priceless and the beauty of both snorkel spots was indescribable

My grandson had a great time on his first time fishing in the ocean. Zach and Gage were great, they provided lots of information on all the fish that were caught on this outing. We can’t wait to come back and go fishing again.

Crew was very helpful, knowledgeable and professional. They would take your fish off the hook and store it for you while giving you some information about the fish you caught. We went to several different spots that the captain knew about trying to find fish and most everybody caught some. Would go back again.

Captain Zack and his two crew mates were amazing hosts and experts at their job. We had a peaceful and informative boat ride followed by some good catches, a whale sighting, and turtle sighting. Really nice people, very professional, good times. Thanks guys! - Rich

Our evening on the Quicksilver was just lovely. The double‑deck catamaran felt extremely spacious and comfortable with my nerves for getting sea sick. The table‑side service made dinner feel special as well, and comforting

Abundant marine life- turtles, tropical fish, and coral!
