Listen to whale calls through an onboard hydrophone and enjoy wide-open views on a two-hour Maui whale-watching trip.

About this tour

Hear the songs of whales beneath the water and watch for them across the open sea on a Maui Whale Watch. This two-hour outing pairs wide-open views with the knowledge of a captain and crew who bring more than 25 years of boating and whale-watching experience.

Step aboard a newly remodeled boat designed for passenger comfort, with 360-degree views and plenty of room to settle in. An onboard hydrophone lets you listen for whale calls underwater, while GoPro extension sticks are available to help capture the moment. Filtered water is provided in paper cups. The small-group setting makes it easy to ask questions and enjoy a more personal experience with the crew. The boat is family-owned and operated, and its owners and crew are Lahaina Fire survivors.

Meet at Mala Boat Ramp and leave the lot clear for resident trucks and trailers. Uber or Lyft is recommended; the Maui Bus stop at Cannery Mall is an 8–10 minute walk. Book your Maui Whale Watch for a memorable time on the water.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.95 from 43 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 8.2. Top 23% in Maui means it ranks in the top 23% of tours in Maui by this score.
