Maui Whale Watching
A Once-in-a-lifetime Wildlife Experience
Maui Whale Watching Tours
Share the waters with Maui’s most majestic visitors
You’ll never forget the first time you see a humpback whale from ocean level in a kayak. It’s an experience that doesn’t disappoint. Pictures, videos, and even the best storytelling can’t do it justice. You have to see it for yourself!
So that’s where we step in… As Maui’s premier ocean activities company, we offer private or group kayak whale watching experiences in South or West Maui.
A stable and beginner-friendly choice, kayaking is something ANYONE can do. We use ‘Ocean Kayak’ two person kayaks. We only have single person kayaks for odd number of guests and we do not combine paddlers from different parties in the same kayak, nor can a guide paddle in a kayak with a guest. These almost impossible to flip vessels provide a safe and secure option great for family, a couple, or individual fun. The group tours are specifically for whale watching. If you would like to also go snorkeling, choose a private tour that includes the option to snorkel with turtles.

Our South Maui Whale Watch Kayak Tours take off from Makena Landing just south of Wailea. This area of the island generally offers calmer waters and lite winds in the early mornings which is great for first time ocean users and families with kids. With these ideal ocean conditions there can be a lot of whale watching and other recreational ocean use in this area, especially in the peak months of whale watching season when the island is busier than usual.

Our West Maui Whale Watch Kayak Tours depart from Olowalu, a once thriving village half way to Lahaina when coming from Kihei or Kahului. The sometimes strong winds which blow offshore from Olowalu Valley can make for a challenging paddle so this location is not ideal for first time ocean users or younger children.

Whale Watching on Kayak is the Only Way
There is no other way to do a whale watching tour but on a kayak. Madison took us out on the kayaks. At first I was just thinking it was going to be your typical whale watching but oh boy was I proven wrong real fast. She told us how to listen to them from the kayaks under water with our paddles but soon after we didn’t need our paddles to hear them. They were so close under us we could hear them sing from the surface. And they were so loud.

To all the mamas out there, thank you for all you do. Happy Mother’s Day. #whalewatching
The whales aren’t gone yet, but they won’t be around Hawaii forever. Come see them before they take off to the cold northern waters to feed for the summer! #WhaleWatchingMaui #HumpbackWhales #Maui2020
