WHALE WATCH

WATCH VIDEO
  • This was our second Trilogy Whale Watch this week. Non-stop service and then comes the great luck with the whales!! We saw a baby and Mama and then started cruising to find more and POP...one came right up!

  • The crew was knowledgable, courteous, and exceptionally mindful - especially for the safety of the passengers. The whales were FANTASTIC and the crew inserted awesome commentary along the way!

MORNING MENU

With both morning and afternoon tour times, we were sure to plan our menu with options to please every guest, no matter what time of day. Our 8:00am sail includes a fresh Mom Coon’s 4th generation recipe Cinnamon Roll and fresh fruit, including juicy pineapple slices.

AFTERNOON MENU

Our 10:30am and 1:00pm tour times will leave you full and satisfied with freshly sliced turkey deli sliders, fruit and a cookie for every guest – maybe even seconds, if you’re lucky! For guests 21+ (with ID), two adult premium beverages are included on the return sail, as well as soda and fresh, filtered water.

WHALE WATCHING
WHALE NATURALISTS

During your whale watching tour, you’ll get more than just amazing views of the Maui coastline and a front-row seat to whale breaches.  Our onboard whale naturalists will also share fun facts about the humpback whale population and their habitat, providing a truly meaningful encounter for our guests.

ONBOARD HYDROPHONES

For a special unique treat on all our whale watches, our catamarans are also equipped with onboard Hydrophones that we place in the water so guests can take in the beauty of the incredible whales’ songs!

An important part of our ohana’s training, all of our Captains and Crew are also armed with the details of NOAA safe-viewing guidelines, so that we can confidently do our part in protecting the safety of our beloved whale population.
