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.

It's certainly impressive to see marine life in a science museum or aquarium, but for an unbeatable look at sea creatures in the wild, don't miss this Maui whale watching adventure. You hop aboard your raft boat and head out to sea, where you try to spot whales in their natural habitat. As you coast near the animals the tour slows down, and you can hear the whale's singing through the boat's hydrophone.

Big Island Manta Ray Night Snorkel

KiruthikaKodhandapan, Apr 2026

Don't miss it.

This is Fantastic experience, The three tour guides are excellent, I would highly recommend if you are a nervous swimmer or beginner to go with this company, they did take care very well and did a uber service from boat to float. Thank you so much but I am sorry forgot your names as it's been a month. My 17 year old boy said this is the best experience he ever had before. He enjoyed the Hawaiian songs played in boat.

Maui Eco-Raft Tour: Eye-Level Whale or Dolphin Watching - Lahaina

Toby_D, Apr 2026

Awesome days seeing whales and dolphins!

I picked this tour ibecause we would be low and close to the water and the group size would be small. There were times I felt like I could reach out and touch the dolphins! Our tour guides were very skilled at spotting whales and dolphins so we had an awesome experience!

Maui: Ultimate Whale Watch from Lahaina

Richard_D, Apr 2026

Rare and awesome experience

We were treated to a rare and awesome experience. Our cruise was late April so it was getting down to the end of whale season in Maui. We saw a few whales early on then decided to find others. On our way to find others our crew, Reese and Chad, got a call that there was an ill whale. They are members of the whale rescue team and we headed to the ill whale. It was a hump back that had white spots all over it. They had not seen anything like this before. We followed the ill whale for over an hour often times getting very close to it as is stayed at the surface of the of the ocean as they tried to collect skin samples to study that the whale was leaving in the water. It was sad to see the whale suffering but the experience to get as close to it as we did and to watch the care and concern of the crew was awesome.

Kauai: Na Pali Coast Super Raft Snorkel Adventure

Andrea_S, Apr 2026

Worth every penny

Captain Andrew and Matt were amazing! They made the entire tour such a fun and worthwhile experience from the second you get on the boat and until you get off the boat! They will go out of their way to make sure you get the best moments captured. Today, on 4/20/26, we did the morning tour and got to see humpback whales (which is extremely rare for this time of year), swam with sea turtles and other beautiful marine life, and saw dolphins too. The Napali coast itself is jaw dropping, and Matt had a lot of fun facts about the geology, history, and other stories of the island & coast. This was 100% worth every single penny. Thank you both again!!

From Maalaea: Whale Watching Tour Aboard the Quicksilver

Sylvia_A, Apr 2026

highly recommended, fantastic experience

We had a perfect experience with the crew of the quicksilver. Although very late in the season we were able to see mothers and their calfs thanks to the captain. Awesome experience. We are first timers in Hawaii and our dream to see the humpback whales came true. The crew of the quicksilver was knowledgeable and fantastic. We highly recommend this provider.

Waikiki, Oahu 2-Hour Whale Watching: Guaranteed Sightings

Kelsey_J, Apr 2026

Great crew and tour

It was a really fun boat ride. Got to see more of the island which was really nice. Our captain Jamie was very good about pointing out land marks around the coast and providing a bit of history which was really cool. My husband and I traveled with our 19mo old. He liked the boat, but the water was a bit choppy when we went out, and I think it was a bit much for him. He ended up sleeping the whole tour. We didn’t get to see any whales, big storms had just rolled through right before our tour so I didn’t have much hope, but we did see like 30 spinner dolphins jumping and doing flips around our boat which was really cool. We got to see some sea turtles as well. Our crew was really friendly and funny. Since we didn’t see whales we have the opportunity to take another tour, an offer that doesn’t expire, which I think is amazing. I’m not sure when we’ll make it back out to Hawaii, but when we do, we’ll go out with pink sails again.

Kona Snorkel Tour: Captain Cook Reef Snorkel, Dolphin & Sea Caves

Jessica_J, Apr 2026

Must do experience while on the Big Island!

We had an amazing snorkeling trip to Captain Cook on the Big Island and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Our guide, David, went above and beyond to make sure we had a relaxing and memorable time. We went as a family with three of our kids, ages 11, 14, and 17, and it was something all of us truly enjoyed. The smiles, laughter, and excitement from our teens was the best part! The water was absolutely beautiful—clear, calm, and full of marine life. David was outstanding and took the time to explain different areas of the ocean as well as interesting details along the coastline, which made the trip both fun and educational for the kids and adults alike. After we finished snorkeling, we were treated to delicious, fresh pineapple, which was the perfect way to end our time in the water. It was such a thoughtful touch and very much appreciated. We were especially impressed with how conscious the crew was about protecting the reef. They clearly emphasized keeping the reef clean and untouched, which made us feel good about snorkeling responsibly and respecting the natural environment. Overall, this was a memorable experience for our whole family, and we would absolutely recommend this snorkel trip to anyone visiting the Big Island.

Oahu: Submarine Scooter Adventure

Jack_S, Apr 2026

Read before you go!

Bring your own towels to dry. Bring waterproof filming equipment because it will get wet. Your face will get wet. Your hair will get wet. You are required to dive under water for a short amount of time. Only light snacks and water are provided on the boat. No place to change so you gotta already change first before getting onto the boat.

Oahu: Swim with Dolphins on the West Coast

Rick_P, Mar 2026

Best Ever!!

This tour was absolutely incredible from start to finish. We didn’t just get what was promised—we got an unforgettable experience. We saw whales, swam with dolphins, and had an amazing snorkeling session in crystal-clear water. The crew truly made the day exceptional. They were knowledgeable, fun, and clearly passionate about what they do. The highlight for me was when I accidentally lost my GoPro—and one of the crew members free dove nearly 80 feet to retrieve it. That level of effort and care is something you just don’t see every day. Everything was well organized, the lunch was great, and the entire experience felt seamless and relaxed. If you’re even considering this tour, book it. Easily one of the best experiences of our trip.

Living Our Best Lives with Ocean Joy

We had an amazing day with Ocean Joy as we rode on the boat and got to see dolphins, snorkeled with sea turtles, ate a delicious lunch and had an experience our kids will remember for a lifetime. The crew was fantastic and informative. Their photographers captured great pictures of us both on the boat and in the water and the package price is a great value at $40. Long story short, a great experience and I highly recommend them if you are looking for a fun day on the West Oahu coast.
