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.

A friend recommended Redline to us. So glad we took their advice. Being on a Zodiac inflatable boat was a unique experience. We loved how close you are to the water, as well as smaller group of people. We saw several humpback whales including some interacting with dolphins, also got to listen to them “singing”. Just as we were about to return, a whale breached, it was spectacular! Captain Dani and Ary were knowledgeable and personable. We loved our experience.

Both Dani and Josh were so knowledgeable about the whales they answers many questions made sure all on the raft were able to see and get great photo shots of the many whales we saw! Wow is just an understatement for the true experience we had such an amazing adventure out on the ocean with thee whales 2 came very close to the raft and took us all by surprise!
