Marine Wildlife Encounters
Whale Watch Tours in Maui
See whales on the best whale watching Maui tours this winter, and watch as the Pacific humpback whales rest and play after traveling from Alaska to Hawaii. December and April is whale watching Oahu season, and the ocean becomes the winter home for humpback whales and their calves that are born in the island's warm waters, and with a variety of whale watching tours departing from Kaanapali, Lahaina, Maalaea, and Makena in Maui, there is a whale watching experience perfect for everyone.
Maui Ocean Center
Wailuku on the northwest side of Maui is home to the state-of-the-art Maui Ocean Center, a renowned marine park that fosters understanding, wonder and respect for Hawaii's marine life. This center contains the largest collection of spectacular live coral displays in the U.S., and seeks to teach visitors about Hawaii's natural history and cultural heritage. Facilities feature elusive garden eels, lion fish, green sea turtles, sharks, rays, and more.
Scenic Cruises & Dolphin Watching
Discover the places Maui dolphins love to play! Maui dolphin watching cruises take you along the coast and the Auau channel where pods of dolphins are plentiful and sightings are almost always a sure bet. The waters to the southwest of Maui are filled with Hawaiian spinner dolphins, making the islands of Lanai and Molokini excellent destinations for dolphin watching and snorkeling! Check out these dolphin watching tours to experience the playful and vibrant marine life of Maui.
