Watch for whales, hear their calls through an onboard hydrophone, and enjoy 360-degree views on this intimate 120-minute Maui boat trip.

About this tour

Set out from West Maui for a whale watch aboard a remodeled boat designed for comfort, open space, and 360-degree views. This 120-minute West Maui Whale Watch at Sunset pairs a small-group feel with a crew that brings more than 25 years of boating and whale-watching experience on Maui.

Keep watch for whales from the roomy deck, and listen for their calls through the onboard hydrophone. The crew is ready to answer your questions, while extendable GoPro sticks offer a handy way to capture the outing. Filtered water is served in paper cups as part of the boat’s effort to reduce its environmental impact. The provider guarantees whale sightings.

Meet at Mala Boat Ramp, but leave the lot clear for resident trucks and trailers. Rideshare is recommended, and the Maui Bus stop at Cannery Mall is an 8–10 minute walk away. Join West Maui Whale Watch at Sunset for a close-up look at Maui’s marine life and a memorable time on the water.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.95 from 150 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 8.7. Top 13% in Maui means it ranks in the top 13% of tours in Maui by this score.
