Each winter, thousands of humpback whales migrate to the warm waters around Maui, making it one of the best whale watching destinations in the world. From November through April, you can witness these gentle giants breach, slap their tails, and play in the ocean just offshore. Guided tours aboard comfortable boats offer front-row seats to this unforgettable natural spectacle, with expert marine naturalists sharing fascinating insights about whale behavior and migration.
Maui whale watching tours are perfect for families, couples, and nature lovers of all ages. Enjoy stunning views of the island from the water, the thrill of spotting whales up close, and the chance to capture amazing photos. With frequent departures from Ma'alaea Harbor and Ka'anapali Beach, seeing whales in Maui waters is a fun and educational experience during the winter season.
