Maui Whale-Watching Tour by Raft from Kihei

Overview

Enjoy a prime opportunity to see humpback whales as they migrate through Hawaiian waters from Alaska between December and May. Setting out from Kihei, cruise to an area off the southern end of Maui with one of Hawaii's highest whale populations. You’ll travel in a large, sturdy raft that provides a speedy ride so you can maximize your viewing time. Learn about the whales from informative commentary provided by an onboard naturalist on this tour limited to 20, a smaller group size than most whale tours.

An unforgettable whale-watching experience! From start to finish, this tour was absolutely amazing! The crews was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate, making sure we had the best views while respecting the whales’ space. We saw multiple breaches, tail slaps, and even a mama whale with her calf! The boat was comfortable, the atmosphere was fun, and the experience was nothing short of magical. If you’re in Kihei and want a once-in-a-lifetime adventure on the water, this is a MUST-DO! Highly recommend!

The guides were great. We saw a lot of whales and had a great time. Highly recommend. We loved the whole experience! Note: this is a very fast speed boat and most people have to sit on the raft part and hang on tight. There are ropes for hands and feet. There are some bench seats that were not on the pontoons where me and my 9 and 15 year old sat.
