Great Experience

4.00Weather was a little rough but we saw a few whales and had a great time. Crew was really great we had snacks and a few drinks. Captain was fun and informative. Would love to do it again on a calm day when viewing is easier. Just turned out to be a windy day. If your reading this to decide whether or not you want to go,,,, just go you won’t be disappointed. It was a blast!

5.00The crew was very nice and amazing. They even stayed and helped when we had a car towing issue. Make sure you put the receipt on dash. But I can't say enough good things about the crew and we saw whales even on a windy day. They were all great.
So fun

5.00Outstanding crew and catamaran. Best tour for the price. We saw an awesome number of calves and moms (late Feb '25) and the captain provided a safe experience for the whales and the guests. Highly recommend this excursion if you are interested in having a memorable time in Maui.
