Maui Whale Watching Tours. Humpback Whales
Maui Whale Watching Tours Whale Watching in Maui Humpback Whales Tours

Maui Whale Watching Tour Season Runs From December 16th To May 15th. You have to Watch the Humpback Whales.

  • Whales swim to Maui from Alaska, spend the whole winter here, then swim back and don't eat the whole time!
  • Whales' lungs are the size of a Volkswagen!
  • Whales' babies, born here on Maui, grow at a rate of 100 pounds a day!
  • Watch Humpback Whales on a Maui tour!
  • Whale Watching Tours in Maui, What an Experience!

Maui Whale Watching - The waters around Maui are a legislated sanctuary for the Humpback whale and, since Humpbacks are treated with respect, they keep coming back in winter. Pods put on a spectacular show, playing, slapping their flukes, waving their tails and “breaching” - leaping high in the air. Morning is usually the best time for whalewatching when the water is calm. You can listen to underwater whale sounds on a hydrophone.

Many different types of large and small crafts will take you to watch whales for several hours, but they’re basically divided into two main categories. Many people would prefer a large and stable vessel often with an upper deck suitable to see whales in the distance and the more adventurous will prefer the extremely fast and maneuverable zodiac or rigid hull inflatables or even kayaks which provide an ocean surface vantage point to meet the whales “one on one”. Tours depart from Lahaina and Maalaea Harbors as well as Kaanapali, the Kihei Boat Ramp and from the Makena coast.

Also remember that children love whale watching tours! On Maui whale watching tours the price for kids is usually half the adult price. A two-hour Maui whale watching tour may not be enough to satisfy your curiosity about these marine mammals. You may want to go on a couple of different whale watching tours during your holidays.
Many types of boats offer whale watching tours. Large whale watching tour boats provide stability on the ocean. Some whale watching tour boats have upper decks for greater viewing capacity. Rafts, or zodiacs, are more adventurous, more intimate and give more of a 'whale-eye' view of the surroundings.Narration and interpretation of humpback whale movements are provided on Maui whale watching tours. You'll find yourself wanting to know more about these fascinating creatures.
Whale watching by kayak is the best way to get close and personal with Maui's largest visitors. Morning is usually the best time for whale watching on Maui. The ocean is flat, making the whales easier to spot. Zodiac rafts are extremely exciting but not recommended for pregnant women or those with bad backs.

Here are a few of the whale watch cruises you can take from the island of Maui:

Maui Whale Watching Tours Whale Watching in Maui Humpback Whales ToursWhale watching in Hawaii is not to be missed. The Humpback Whales come here, but only in the Winter months roughly between Christmas and Easter. Their main home is in the Arctic waters off the coast of Alaska and Canada but they make the mammoth swim here to Hawaii once a year to mate, bear their young and to generally cavort about and enjoy life. They are absolutely intriguing animals. They for the most part eat krill and plankton which is found in their home waters and is not found here so for their entire five month or so journey to Hawaii and back they do not eat. They literally lose tons of weight during this time and the babies they bear are nourished by their mothers milk and actually gain about 100 pounds a day.

They cruise the waters surrounding Maui and the neighbor islands of Hawaii, Oahu, Kauai, Lanai and Molokai but really don’t travel much once they reach here. Dozens of pods of whales can be found in the waters surrounding the islands during the Winter months and the pods often consist of three, four or more whales. The baby whales are beyond cute and are usually seen right next to the mothers. Whale sightings on our whale watches during these months are almost a given and during the peak season it is literally impossible not to find them. If you didn’t do anything else while you were here in the Winter you should do a whale watch. And by the way, don’t forget your camera.
