Immersive. Powerful. Unforgettable.
This two-hour experience is all about pure whale watching. No snorkeling. No sailing. Just uninterrupted time to see breaches, tail slaps, and close encounters, guided by expert marine naturalists who know where the magic happens. You’ll even hear live whale songs through our onboard hydrophones, an experience you won’t forget.
Enjoy light local bites and an open bar featuring favorites from Maui Brewing Co., all served with panoramic ocean views and a refreshing sea breeze.
