I have been on a dozen or so whale watching tours including a few in Maui, Northern California, Seattle, and Mexico and I have NEVER seen so many whales and have NEVER seen whales so close to the boat as I have seen with Sea Maui. Even with the rain on the 2nd half of the trip, lots of wind, and some "ok" well drinks (hey they are free/included) , a little bit of stress getting on the boat from the beach (unfounded stress really), I would do this tour over any other tour because they have an amazing crew and give the best whale watching experience. We booked last minute for my birthday after having some fish tacos at Leilani's (Best in Maui) then headed to Duke's for Hula Pie. Best birthday with my family ever.
