Watch humpback whales breach and listen to their calls on a 105-minute Maui super raft adventure with an onboard naturalist.
About this tour
Set out from Maui for a close-to-the-water whale-watching adventure aboard a custom-built super raft. In the protected waters around the island, look for humpback whales as they slap their tails, wave their fins, and launch into full-body breaches.
An onboard naturalist shares insights into whale behavior, while a hydrophone lets you listen to whales communicating beneath the surface. The raft offers an intimate ride, and onboard restrooms, bottled water, Aloha Juice, and soft drinks add comfort along the way. The experience lasts 105 minutes.
Choose this Maui whale watch adventure for a lively view of these remarkable animals above and below the water. Arrive early for check-in, then settle in and keep watch for the next splash.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.90 from 155 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 8.0. Top 28% in Maui means it ranks in the top 28% of tours in Maui by this score.
