Listen to whale songs through an underwater hydrophone on a 90-minute Maui tour with an experienced crew and refreshments.

About this tour

Hear the songs of whales beneath the surface on a Maui whale-watching tour with a crew that has been sharing the experience since 1985. An underwater hydrophone brings whale calls into the boat, while your guide shares facts and answers questions along the way.

The 90-minute outing includes Aloha Maid juices and bottled water. Arrive 15–30 minutes before departure and make your way to the picnic table beside the docks to check in with staff wearing Blue Water Rafting logo attire. Free parking is available nearby.

Maui whale watching offers a memorable chance to listen, learn, and take in the experience from the water. Book your tour and discover the sounds of the whales for yourself.

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 7.1.
