Family-Friendly Glass-Bottom Afternoon Whale Watch Tour - Calypso Maui [Dec-Apr]

Awesome

Reviewed by: Marion H

This was a wonderful trip. The captain took us far out into the bay and we got into an area where there were many whales. He obviously knew where he was going. It was actually one of the best whale watches I've ever been on. I love the Calypso. The crew was friendly, the drinks great and even the naturalist was informative, if a bit chatty. Anyway, great time in whale soup.

  • Plenty whales just not in this pix. I loved being that far out in the bay.

モロキニ島シュノーケリングクルーズ <朝・昼食付/現地集合>

There was no Japanese guide at all. <日本語ガイド>が全くなかった

Reviewed by: Non

What surprised me the most when I arrived was that there was absolutely no Japanese guide. Everything was conducted in English, so I felt misled by the title of this tour.

現地に行ってまず驚いたのが
全く日本語ガイドがなかったこと。全て英語で行われていたのでこのツアーのタイトルに騙された感じでした。

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

A wonderful morning whale watching!

Reviewed by: Denise

Our captain found great whale groupings. We watched mothers and babies play, tails out of the water and a couple of jumps. The boat had snacks/drinks and bathrooms. I went with my 11 and 8 year old children, it was a perfect morning.

snorkel trip

Reviewed by: PJJ

We had the best time! Loved our time snorkeling and going to see turtles. Saw a huge turtle. Biggest I have ever seen. It was great that there were only a few of us on the boat that day. Would have loved to have a grill for burgers, but lunch was good nonetheless.

Reviewed by: Kelsey

All the crew members were nice and had positive attitudes. They were thankful for the tourists as it’s hard to travel to Hawaii right now. The BBQ lunch provided was way better than a wrap sandwich that was pre-made. Would totally book with them again. And saw lots of whales too.

Not quite satisfied

Went out on Aqua Adventures and felt they were a bit understaffed for the amount of passengers they had. Pre paid for Snuba but my husband didn’t even try. No contact for refund. Food served was minimal and not the best quality.

Molokini Crater & Turtle Arches Snorkeling Tour & Snuba Dive - Aqua Adventures

Great experience, sighted lot of whales on the way, felt one of the staff member little racist attitude

Reviewed by: anonymous

Overall, great experience with snorkeling tour. I would have given 5-starts other than the two issues, 1 - One of the staff was little rude (white blonde seemed little racist attitude), however everyone else on the staff was super nice, 2 - the second issue, snorkeling place was little muggy water and it was little hard to sight any turtles, even though I saw one but my family couldn't see any. However, we sighted bunch of whales on the way, with couple of them very close to our boat (little scary for few seconds) which was awesome.

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

Awesome Whale Watching Experience!

Reviewed by: Jaclyn

This was a wonderful whale watching tour, we loved every minute of it. The guide was very informative, we have done other whale watching tours, but non as thorough in their explanations of all things whale. Other tours we have been on have had more interactive crew members aside from the captain, this one did not. But it was kind of nice to have a very relaxed, more calm experience. We saw whales as soon as we got on the boat practically, and the captain was good about not waiting around for whales for too long, but we would keep looking. The captain said this boat is the largest boat on the island, and at one point during our trip, a whale went under our boat to find shade! There are chairs set up around tables on the top deck which is nice to just sit and relax. One recommendation is to leave extra time for parking, as it gets crowded near the harbor. And it can be a little challenging to find, it is a hut outside right by the boats, I think it’s the last one in the line of whale watching tours, right across from Pioneer Inn. We had a great time, we would definitely go on one of their tours again!

  • Leaving the harbor

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

We got lucky and saw a breach close to the boat

Reviewed by: Gabriel

The captain does a great job of finding the whales and creating opportunities to let the whales approach. Very friendly staff made us feel welcome. The only thing I have concerns with is the lack of ability to social distance or avoid touching high traffic handrails due to safety, but luckily we brought our own hand sanitizer (which I recommend). Overall a great trip, and everyone in my group had a great time.

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

Tourism that supports the scientific community

Reviewed by: Trini

We had a family excursion and it was perfect. As we had 2 elderly family members, we loved that the boat was double decked so there was always shade for them. We also liked that the excursion has a ton of great photo opportunities of the ocean and mainland, so we got some awesome family photos. The best part of the trip though was the fact that parts of the revenue goes towards funding researchers who are working on studying the whale populations, which makes you feel good at the end of the day about the purchase, even if you don't get to see the whales up close.

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

Great family activity while you're in Lahaina!

Reviewed by: Justin

I went on this trip with my family (6 adults, 2 of whom are a bit older). It was something we could all enjoy. The best part of the trip was seeing a close up whale breach, but it does come down to luck... I imagine some people might only end up seeing fins during their excursion, but even though we got to see an up close breach on our trip, the captain invited us to stay on for their second outing that day in case we missed it so we were guaranteed to be happy (super nice of him).

Recommend you to definitely bring sunglasses and a cap as its really bright out and fatigues the eyes.

  • You also get great views from the boat of the mainland.

Good option

Reviewed by: Mariah

Overall, I thought it was very good. Crew was nice and professional. They served lunches and accommodated *most* dietary restrictions. Seeing turtles was really cool. Unfortunately I picked this tour for where it said we were snorkeling. The crew made a last minute decision to change our snorkel spot due to winds.

Sea Maui Kaanapali Sunset Cruise

Reviewed by: J.Gelman

Years ago, we were looking for a simple sunset cruise with some drinks and apps. We did not want a big boat. We did not want a big dinner because there are so many special local restaurants to try on Maui. Then we stumbled upon Sea Maui. It is perfect. A relaxing ride on a catamaran. Taking in the sunset. The staff is always friendly and accommodating. The apps are still filled with local foods. Every time we go to Maui, we try to book with Sea Maui. it was just what we were looking for and more.

Best Ever

Reviewed by: Cindy

It couldn't have been any better. The crew was fantastic. We visited two sites to snorkel and snuba. The extra cost to snuba is worth every penny. They accommodated my son's disability and made his trip fantastic. The captain's sense of humor kept you smiling. Everything we did felt safe so it was easy to just relax and enjoy the experience. The Aqua Adventure is the crew to go with.

Aqua Adventures Was Amazing!!!

Reviewed by: Aaron Roberts

The crew for Aqua Adventures was spectacular. I'm disabled, I can walk with a brace but mainly use a wheelchair. They helped me on to the boat and carried my chair on to the boat. They made sure I was included in every activity, including the bonus whale sightings we have seen. One crew member helped me get fin on and off each time and made sure that I was able to find the turtles during the coral city visit. The captain was upbeat and had wonderfully bad jokes but made sure everyone knew exactly was going on and safe in their Adventures. The food was great too!
