Listen to whale calls, learn from onboard naturalists, and enjoy lunch on a relaxed 150-minute Maui cruise aboard an air-conditioned catamaran.
About this tour
Hear the songs of whales beneath the waves on a Maui whale watch designed for a relaxed, uncrowded outing. This 150-minute cruise aboard an air-conditioned power catamaran gives you more time on the water, with onboard naturalists sharing insights into whale behavior and a hydrophone bringing their calls to life through the speakers.
Settle in for a freshly prepared lunch featuring pulled pork sandwiches, pineapple slaw, an Angus beef hot dog, chips, and white chocolate macadamia nut cookies. Soft drinks and filtered water are provided, while craft cocktails, local beer, wine, and seltzers are available to purchase from the onboard bar. The operator says it limits passenger numbers to 60% of the vessel’s US Coast Guard capacity for a more spacious experience.
Your Maui whale watch departs from Slip #68 at Maalaea Boat Harbor; transportation to the harbor is not provided. Choose this Maui whale watch for a comfortable cruise, knowledgeable commentary, and the chance to listen as well as look for whales.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 4 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in Maui
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.3. Top 50% in Maui means it ranks in the top 50% of tours in Maui by this score.
