Sail from Lahaina to hear whale songs, spot humpbacks, and learn from marine naturalists aboard a spacious, eco-friendly catamaran.

About this tour

Set sail from Lahaina for a close look at Maui’s humpback whales aboard an eco-friendly catamaran designed for spacious, comfortable viewing. This two-hour Maui Whale Watch Sail pairs ocean scenery with insights from certified marine naturalists and marine biologists, who explain the whales’ social behavior as you watch from the water.

Listen to whale songs through underwater hydrophones and look for mothers and calves interacting, along with males competing for females. The crew guarantees whale sightings: if you don’t see whales, you can return for another cruise free within one year. Arrive 30 minutes before departure at 116 Prison Street in Lahaina; hotel pickup and drop-off are not available. Children need to be accompanied by an adult, and the minimum drinking age is 21. Choose the Maui Whale Watch Sail for an engaging, informative way to experience these remarkable animals, with another chance to go if the whales stay out of view.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.78 from 86 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 6.9.
