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.

We had a great morning trip, saw plenty of whales surfacing, some breaching out in the distance. Our crew was so informative and patient. With less than 20 minutes to go during our tip on January 19, 2018 a whale breached right in front of us only 40 yards away...it was incredible!!! Certainly a once in a lifetime event that I hope others will also be able to enjoy! Thank you!

We had a great whale watch with Sean and Zac. Lots of activity in the morning and the water was very calm which was nice. It’s great having a small boat that wasn’t super crowded. Definitely recommend!

We took two tours with Redline during our 10 day visit to Maui. Our favorite things about them are the small group size and their wonderful staff! Don’t spend your vacation crammed into a big boat with 100 people... go with Redline and you’ll be one of 24 at most. Every staff member was outstanding! The captain of our whale watching adventure was Shawn, and he did an excellent job getting us in the vicinity of whales while respecting their space and boundaries. He was very knowledgeable and taught us a lot about the humpbacks we were watching. A few days later we went out for a Molokini snorkel adventure with Chase and Katie. It was one of the highlights of our trip... we snorkeled 4 amazing spots, watched whales (including a 20+ minute session watching a mom and rambunctious breaching calf), saw 9 sea turtles while snorkeling one spot, and they fed us breakfast and lunch on the raft. Redline gets our highest recommendations!!
