We saw number of whales. They were breaching the water. The staff is very knowledgeable. We were booked on two tours that were both canceled before we actually got on the boat so be flexible. The whales playing in the water is an amazing site.
We went early Dec. still not whale watching season, yet we were able to see several of them. The crew was very knowledgeable.
There are lots of options available for whale watching and this tour given by the whale foundation is as good as it gets and you are helping the conservation efforts of this program. The tour my wife and I took was great ---- lots of whales and quality information from the onboard staff. This is a must do while in Maui during the winter months.
