Description

Join Maui's only Hawaiian Owned eye-level Whale Watching and Dolphin Search Tours onboard our low-to-water small group eco-rafts.

Avoid the crowds and enjoy comfortable seating in a small group with spectacular views of Hawaii’s humpback whales or Maui's friendly dolphins.

December- April: The Humpback Whale returns to the warm Hawaiian waters every year during the winter months for their mating and calving season. Although whales are protected in Hawaii and we do not approach them closer than federal regulations, they often approach our small rafts for those up close and eye-level whale encounters. The type of encounters vary in the wild.

May-November: Dolphins are spotted year-round and our eco-rafts also provide eye-level encounters. November we begin our search for early whales and we often spot late whales through May 15th.

Your tour includes a full narration of interesting whale / dolphin and Maui facts by our naturalist, listening to whale songs on a hydrophone and lots of photo ops!
*Our small locally native owned eco-company is excited to share Maui's wildlife with you!*
Departures from Lahaina- arrive at least 30 minutes prior to departure time so you don't miss boarding your boat!

This tour option is great for non-swimmers who want to enjoy wildlife encounters.

* Wildlife encounters vary in their natural environment, the wild. Guaranteed whale sightings from December 1 - April 15. Dolphin search and sighting tours from May-November include snacks and non-alcoholic beverages, sightings are frequent but are not guaranteed.
* Plan to get wet on the raft, these are adventure style boats that operate in a variety of weather.
*NO pregnant persons or children under 3 years.
