Description
This activity is unique because it combines two of Maui’s best ocean experiences into one trip: Molokini Crater snorkeling and bonus whale watching. Guests get about 1 hour to snorkel at the world-famous Molokini Crater, then enjoy the rest of the tour cruising for humpback whales during whale season. You’ll also ride on our brand-new 40 ft Zodiac raft, built for a faster, smoother, and more exciting ocean adventure. It’s a great option for travelers who want a fun 2-in-1 experience without spending the whole day on the water.

The tour was exceptional. The crew was friendly and knowledgeable. Felt safe and comfortable. Would use them again.
This was an excellent tour, we were lucky to have seen many whales and dolphins. The crew was super friendly and filled with knowledge about the whales. We had so much fun.

A floating tiki bar? Definitely a must.
This is probably the fourth or fifth whale watching tour we’ve taken on Maui and by far the best. The catamaran was the perfect size with under 40 other passengers. We saw more whales in the first half hour than in all our other tours combined. Excellent captain and a super friendly crew made it a great to spend a Thursday morning. The floating tiki bar is a nice touch. Just an overall fun time.

A whale of a good time!
We loved the laid back catamaran experience. The crew was so friendly. We would have liked a few more whale facts. The pina coladas were delicious! The whales and calf’s were amazing!

Whale Watching in Maui
We were on the Whale Watching tour and the crew of three were very knowledgeable, professional, and fun! We saw so many whales: moms with their babies, groups of mom, baby, and escort(s), males fighting for a mate, and one that came underneath and up the front of the catamaran without rocking anyone….a complete an exhilarating experience.

Awesome day on the water!
Great, smaller boat experience. Only 9 of us on the tour. Lots of space to spread out and get clear views of the whales. Very personalized service by the crew.
