Overview

Maui is the place to see humpback whales. Each year these magnificent creatures migrate south from Alaska, and although you can see them throughout Hawaii, the ‘Au ‘au channel off the coast of Maui boasts the greatest number. Our warm, relatively shallow and protected waters make an ideal location for the humpbacks to mate and give birth to their calves. These whales are often seen fully breaching out of the ocean! Our morning departure offers the perfect start to your day — exceptional morning conditions, smooth seas, and incredible chances to see whales breaching, tail-slapping, and spouting all around our vessel. Along the way, our friendly crew shares fascinating insights into whale behavior, marine life, and local culture. This sailing charter includes light refreshments and exceptional island views. This memorable adventure will be a highlight of your trip. Reserve your Morning Whale Watch today and discover why Maui is the world’s best whale-watching destination.

Shielded by surrounding islands, these calm, shallow waters create a warm, protected sanctuary completely free from large ocean predators. It is recognized as America's absolute densest winter nursery for humpback whales. On this tour, you will cruise through these legally protected national marine sanctuary waters to witness mother whales nursing, protecting, and teaching their newborn calves. Keep your eyes on the horizon to watch mothers demonstrating spectacular full-body breaches, teaching calves how to slap their pectoral fins, and guiding them through their very first shallow dives in West Maui's legendary whale playground.
