Maui: Ultimate Whale Watch from Lahaina

Kaity_H, Apr 2026

A truly amazing experience

We had an amazing experience during our time with your awesome crew . The food was great, the music was fun, and the snorkeling was so fun. A special shoutout to Charlie for being so helpful and amazingly positive with my very anxious daughter when it came to snorkeling. She showed so much patience and we really appreciated her. I we have done a few of these cruises , but this was definitely the the best time we have had. We have already recommended they to our friends going to Maui soon.

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

Kerstin_L, Apr 2026

Fantastic tour! Hand out ginger candy early.

Amazing whale watching experience from start to finish! The staff was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing insights throughout the trip that made it even more meaningful. The highlight was witnessing a whale breach which was an unforgettable, bucket list moment that made the whole excursion worth it. You can tell the crew genuinely cares about both the wildlife and the guests’ experience. One small suggestion: consider offering ginger candy to passengers as they board. It would be helpful to have it on hand early for those who may need it, and unused pieces could always be returned. Overall, a fantastic experience I’d highly recommend!

A Whale is a Time

Allison and Levi were great! Went over all safety protocols before we went out. Knowledgeable and funny. Nice clean and roomy vessel. Found a group of whales that we were able to follow and watch for a good while. Don’t hesitate to book this excursion!

Amazing Day on the Water

It was a big and safe vessel first of all. The staff were very nice and informative and they had a photographer which I didn’t expect. The boat ride was amazing and we did see whales! And as a special extra you could buy the photos from your cruise which I did. I would highly recommend Quicksilver and they were the most affordable, Hawaii is expensive.

Billy & team were amazing!

Awesome expertise about the whales and wildlife in general. It was the perfect amount of people on the boat making sure you never had to miss a whale from someone standing in front of you. Billy and his partner were fun to be with and definitely make it worth it. I’ve done catamaran whale tours in HI before and will never go back to that after this experience! Truly amazing

Whale Sighting!

We had a wonderful time on the whale watching tour! The crew was great and very informative, and they found us some whales. I had low expectations around what sealife we would find so was very pleasantly surprised to see a mom and baby whale. The boat was nice and had lots of seating. I would recommend!

Amazing experience!

We had an amazing experience with Marina & Joe. We saw soooo many whales. Two full breaches. A group of 8-9 males vying for the attention of one female, who was putting on quite a show with her flapping and splashing. A mom and calf pair with an escort. Very memorable experience!!

Quicksilver Coral Gardens Morning Snorkel Cruise

Kelly_F, Sep 2025

The boarding process was...

The boarding process was a breeze thanks to the well-seasoned staff. On the Calypso boat we were given breakfast, lunch, and even Popsicles which were all delicious. While we were unable to go to turtle town due to inclement weather, crew offered an open bar and some sight seeing to make up for it. We also got extra time to snorkel at molokini crater. We want to emphasize the incredible crew aboard the Calypso and the inclusiveness of all types of snorklers including children and those who may not want to get in the water at all. The Calypso crew provided gear to all passengers and ensured it fit correctly, provided clear instructions, and ensured small rafts for children and the glass window section at the bottom level of the boat ensures all passengers were able to get the full underwater experience. Again, we were so incredibly impressed by staff who were consistently helpful, made us feel so safe, from sitting on paddle boards around our snorkeling area and offering pool noodles, to spraying masks with anti-fog liquid as soon as they noticed someone's mask was fogging up while in the water, they truly made the entire experience for us.
