Small-Group Whale Watching Adventure

Overview

Our small group experience takes place in a big boat atmosphere! A maximum of 20 guests onboard allows our captain and crew the chance to focus on providing each guest with the very best experience. Our boat is really what sets us apart from other companies- we have a fast, fun and extremely comfortable boat where everyone has a cushioned seat, large open platform for viewing the whales and fast, quiet engines to help us maximize our time with the whales during your tour. Knowledgeable captains and crew who have worked among the whales for years will share whale facts and answer your questions. It's a great photo opportunity and most people who do it come back for more!

Sergio and Gena did an amazing job on our tour. We had a great time they were very educational and fun. Our entire family had a great time and we saw so many whales!

This experience was beyond amazing. Kevin and Amanda were knowledgeable and were efficient in locating signs of the whales to increase our chances of spotting them. You’ve got to be camera ready at all times, as it’s so difficult to tell where they’re going to pop up, but we were able to see several breeches during our trip! The smaller boat was great in terms of group size, since everyone got a good view and it was easy to move around if needed. If you tend to get seasick, you’ll definitely feel more motion here when the boat stops but we were fine when it was moving. Overall a wonderful experience and we were so happy to have the opportunity to experience whale watching with this group!

We had a wonderful whale watching excursion with Kevin and Austin. The boat was small (in a good way) and not packed, which made it much easier for everyone to get a good view of the whales as well as interact easily with our guides. My husband and I brought our 3 month old and fortunately it worked out great- the white noise of the wind and waves combined with the rocking of the boat kept her sleeping the whole time. I definitely recommend bringing a baby carrier to strap your infant to yourself. We were able to see a group of males with a female as well as a female with her brand new calf- super cool! Kevin and Austin were both very knowledgeable and told us lots of interesting information about whales. They were also very willing to answer our questions. We would definitely recommend this tour if you’re in the Lahaina area!

Thank you for choosing Makai Adventures. Your recommendation means the world to us! Itʻs early in the season to see a calf so your baby must have been our good luck charm! Looking forward to having your family back onboard for more whale watching in the future :)
