Come aboard for a ma’alaea whale watching cruise in maui, december – april. .

Join us for one of our Maui whale watching tours for two hours of one of the most thrilling family-friendly Maui activities! From December 18th through April 15th, climb aboard our catamaran and make your way to the top!

Calypso is Maui’s only catamaran with three decks, so you simply cannot go higher on this island. All of Calypso’s 360-degree ocean views are “fin”tastic, even when you go inside for a bit to take a break from the sun. The first and second decks have spacious cabins with tinted windows. These windows make for excellent viewing through the water’s surface, regardless of the sun’s glare. Comfortable seating throughout this stable vessel ensures a relaxing time on the water while you look for these incredible marine mammals. Make sure to take advantage of the bar and snack area while you check out the boat. The crew will be happy to mix up what you need!

When you come with us on a Calypso whale watching in Maui, the onboard naturalist, captain, and crew will be just as excited as you are to see humpbacks. The 45-foot cetaceans inspire awe, delight, and excitement with their very existence, and whenever they come over to our 65-foot catamaran — wow, oh wow!

As soon as the boat leaves Ma’alaea Harbor, keep your eyes peeled for any big motion on the surface – especially large clouds of misty spray in the distance. (That’s a whale of an exhalation!) No matter what is going on out there, the Calypso whale watch naturalist will give you an exciting play-by-play and “swimming commentary.” Some of the more popular moves that whales engage in at the surface are the tail slap, the pec slap, the peduncle throw, the spy hop, and the ever hoped for launch-of-an-entire-whale-from-the-water full breach!

Whenever the boat is stopped for a while, you can go down to the underwater viewing room. If the whales choose to swim beneath the vessel, you’ll be able to see them through the glass panels in the bottom of the hull! That is one of the most awesome things about the Calypso Ma’alaea whale watch. (It is rare for a whale-watching vessel to have a glass-bottomed seating area.)

The 5 Best Whale Watching Tours from Lahaina, Maui [2024 Reviews]

Out on the west side of Maui, Hawaii’s second largest island, there is a historic town that used to be known as Lele, meaning “relentless sun”. It was once a whaling village back in the 1800’s during the great whaling boom. Thousands of sailors from hundreds of ships went to the village to hunt the whales. Even the famous author of Moby Dick, Herman Melville found himself in the village.

Nowadays, that village is known as Lahaina and it has, yet again, become a major destination for those seeking out the humpback whales that migrate there for mating season. Of course, now whales are a protected species in Hawaii and visitors are more interested in thrilling encounters and some memorable photographs than in hunting.

Lahaina is a hit destination year-round for its incredible beaches, countless art galleries, variety of shops and restaurants as well as invigorating local culture and stunning sights. During the winter to spring months, it is also renowned for whale watching!

During this time, over 10,000 of these captivating whales pass through the warmer shallow waters surrounding Maui. It is here that they mate and give birth to their young. This provides the ideal chance to observe their incredible size up close and get a little peek into their behaviors. Many tourists are able to see dozens of whales including mother and calf pairs!

• Duration: 2 hours
• Meet-Up Location: Main Loading Dock, 675 Wharf Street, Lahaina
• Watercraft Type: Double-deck power catamaran
• Free water, juice, or soda (alcohol available for purchase)

The catamaran’s two levels and sizable decks leave plenty of room for comfort and convenience even on a sold-out tour. Smart designing even guarantees you a perfect view from whatever part of the ship you’re on.

Of course, the top deck may allow you an even better vantage point for those once-in-a-lifetime photographs adding to the benefit of a double decker like the Quicksilver. Plus, a spacious bottom-level cabin gives you a chance to enjoy some shade on your cruise.

As one of the most accommodating whale watching ventures in Maui, you will find the utmost comfort on  this cruise. Not only do they have comfy seating, plenty of legroom, and actual restrooms available for use onboard the ship, they also happen to be one of the less common whale watching cruises that are wheelchair accessible.

Did we mention that this cruise also offers free refreshments such as water, juice, and soda? You even have the option of purchasing an alcoholic beverage to help further enhance your experience. Just make sure to bring your ID with you to get those drinks if you want them!

During the 2-hour cruise tour, you will get the chance to view many interesting and exciting aspects of humpback whale behavior. Not only will you possibly get to see fun behaviors like tails and fins slapping and splashing the water, but many cruise-goers get to witness breaching or spy-hopping where the whales peek out up above the water – hey, they may want to watch you back, after all!

More Information & Tour Booking

100% refund for cancellations within 24 hours of tour experience, #2 eco-friendly whale watching sail from lahaina harbor.

• Meet-Up Location: Pacific Whale Foundation Ocean Store located at 612 Front Street, Lahaina
• Watercraft Type: Luxury sailing catamaran
• All profits go towards ocean and wildlife conservation

The foundation was founded over 40 years ago with the goal of protecting the population of humpback whales from further declining. All profits from this cruise go directly to research support for learning more about the ocean as well as finding ways to better protect it and conserve the wildlife that thrives within it. This tour also happens to be led by a Marine Naturalist to guarantee both a fun and highly educational experience!

Since these tours take you through the mating grounds of humpback whales at the perfect time of year, you will have the chance to observe many fascinating behaviors. Whenever possible, your Marine Naturalist guide will be able to point out male humpback whales competing for the females. They can also help you spot mother whales with their calves and answer any questions you can think up!

The Ocean Spirit is also equipped with special under-water headphones called hydrophones. These incredible devices will allow you to hear the songs of these astonishing creatures live! An Onboard Junior Nationalist program also means this is an amazing family option. They even guarantee whale sightings on every tour! If for some reason your tour doesn’t see any whale activity, they offer another tour for free.

While alcohol isn’t available on this tour, they do offer free filtered water to all cruise-goers. You will also get a lovely photo card of marine wildlife with a gloss finish to help memorialize the whale watching experience!

#3 Eco-Raft Eye-Level Whale Watch Tour

• Meet-Up Location: Lahaina Harbor, Slip 8 at 675 Wharf Street, Lahaina
• Watercraft Type: Eco-friendly raft
• Wheelchair accessible

Since this tour does take place on a raft closer to the surface of the water than other vessels, you should prepare to get wet! It is quite possible water will be splashing up into the raft at times. It is recommended that you bring a waterproof camera for those special shots. A waterproof bag for your personal belongings and some water shoes aren’t bad ideas either. Purified water is offered to all tour-goers.

This tour proudly follows all environmental regulations. Whales are a highly protected species in Maui, so the raft will not approach the whales beyond 100 yards. However, the tour proudly boasts that the whales themselves will often close that distance themselves providing you with the opportunity for a truly close-up encounter.

This whale-watching raft tour is also led by a Marine Naturalist. This Marine Naturalist guide will teach you tons about the humpback whales, their mating behaviors during the season, and their migratory patterns. Since it is one of the tours that takes smaller groups at a time, you will have a more personal experience with plenty of time to ask questions and talk to the staff.

#4 Catamaran Whale Cruise from Lahaina or Māʻalaea Harbor

• Duration: 2.5 hours
• Meet-Up Location: Slip 72 at Māʻalaea Harbor
• Watercraft Type: Sailing catamaran
• Complimentary coffee and juice (wine and local beer available for purchase)

Speaking of ocean sounds – this vessel also features hydrophones to allow you a much more complete whale-watching experience where you actually get to hear these mind-blowing animal’s unique form of communication live as they sing breathtaking songs to each other. You will sail along with the winds to find the whales and keep in mind that when the winds pick up, the ride can become quite exhilarating!

While you keep an eye out for those breaching whales, you can also relax with your beverage of choice. Coffee and juice are complementary to anyone on the tour, while wine and several local beer options are available for purchase. Going along with the laid-back sailing, this is one of the longer whale-watching tours at around 2.5 hours.

The captain and crew will keep you well-informed throughout the tour and help you spot the whales and understand their behavior. You will be going from the harbor into the famous Maui channel, also known as the ‘Au ‘au channel. This area is known for having the highest concentration of the humpbacks during their mating season.

#5 2-Hour Whale Watching Tour

• Meet-Up Location: Hawaiian Rafting Adventures at 1223 Front St, Lahaina, HI 96761
• Watercraft Type: Custom ocean raft
• Locally owned and operated by a Lahaina-native family

The rafting boats used for this tour measure 27 feet in length with a hard underside and inflatable sides. They are actually modeled directly after coast-guard rafts used for rescue. This helps ensure greater maneuverability while providing an exciting ride close to the ocean’s surface.

Each tour has no more than 16 guests in total. This really enhances that more personal feel and helps provide each tourist with one-on-one time for talking to the captain and crew. The high-quality speakers combined with state-of-the-art hydrophones allows guests to enjoy the songs of these astounding creatures while taking in the sights as well.

Going right along with that one-to-ohana feel that this tour is all about, all whale watching tours guarantee whale sightings. If you do not see whales your first time out, you will be welcomed freely along another tour to ensure you get what you came for.

Discover the Sea Maui Difference: Read Our Maui Snorkeling, Whale Watching and Sunset Cruise Reviews

Just returned from Maui. Family and I did a Friday night sunset cruise. Highly recommend this trip. Capt. Phil and crew are top notch. They work hard to make sure you have fun. Great food and drink, whale watching and great views. The crew was very careful loading and unloading passengers at the start and end of the trip. Overall a great time. If you want to sail with a competent and caring crew, then Sea Maui is the place to be.

This was my third catamaran snorkel trip and it was the best one yet! First and foremost the staff was amazing. Throughout the trip the entire crew stayed engaged in conversation, and not just with one person. Hands down best part of my week stay here in Maui! Lunch was fantastic-drinks were flowing-& we made it back in a timely manner! Thank you so much to the crew of Sea Maui for being the best part of my vacation!

I had the joy of going on a Sea Maui trip. The boat was large and the vibe the crew had was amazing. They served us breakfast and lunch with a smile, had great drinks and music, and made us laugh the whole time. I chose to do SNUBA, and it was worth every extra penny. If I went back today, I would use Sea Maui and I recommend them to all of my friends who are going.

The crew and management at Sea Maui always go above and beyond to make sure their patrons have the best experience possible. They serve good food and drinks and have a smaller amount of people they go out with and they offer something for everyone. They are def my go to when I’m looking to get out in the beautiful waters of Maui.
