We didn’t expect many whales given it was April but we did see some and the boat itself was enough to make the trip. Staff super friendly and informative. We saw dolphins, flying fish and two whale sightings

Exciting to be up close and personal with the whales. On came right up next to our boat. Boat was very clean, well organized and not too crowded. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely recommend if in Maui.

Awesome! So many whales, funny and knowledgeable guide (Desmond), great crew, beautiful day! They gave us assigned seats because of covid, but we were allowed to get up and walk around. Would sail with them again.

The trip was great. The crew was very informative and fun.
We learned a lot about Humpback whales and their migration habits and saw several groups of whales.
We watched a mom and baby for quite a while timing their dives and resurfacing.
We will do this trip again when we come back to Maui.

I will start by saying I appreciate that they are non profit and work to to save our environment. The trip it myself was excellent great crew and boat, beautiful weather and numerous whale sightings! I wanted to book another the same evening. One warning give yourself time to find parking as you may have to walk a few blocks. You conveniently drop off passengers but someone will need to park the car.
I would highly recommend this team and this trip.

Great Staff - Perfect size boat

I was completely surprised to get seasick - I never have before. McKayla, a staff member, really helped me out! She told me where to stand on the boat, gave me ginger chews and water, and was generally nice to me. I was feeling kind of dumb about it and she was super great about it. And the whales! We got some great views.
Best part: Boat holds 49 people total, and counting crew there were only about 35 on our trip. It was uncrowded with great views for everyone. We saw both smaller and bigger boats while we were out, and it seemed like our choice was the very best possible size - more stable than the small ones (it was choppy) and lots better views and movement than the giant ones.
Saw 4 whales.

This was early in the season for the whales so I was happy to see four. The skipper did a great job of finding them. The food was good and because I am not that steady on my feet it was carried up the stairs for me. The crew was very knowledgeable and they loved waiting on us and explaining anything we wanted to know about whales. I would do this trip again.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
