Overview

Maui has some fantastic marine life, but large boats can scare creatures off. This small-group tour gets you closer to wildlife such as turtles and dolphins, without the crowds of traditional boat tours, but still has the benefit of an onboard marine naturalist guide to provide commentary and answer questions.

Choose from a range of start times to suit your schedule
Stay fueled with included snacks and beverages
Learn about local marine life from your onboard naturalist guide
Small group sizes ensure personal attention from your guide

Great experience. Captain Jack and our guide, Bree, were awesome. It was a beautiful calm day on the water. We found a large pod of dolphin with minutes of leaving the dock. we also saw spotted Eagle rays as we were boarding and a few sea turtles. Both Jack and Bree provided commentary and color to the experience. i would recommend this tour and come again. Debbie and Shane

Captain Zack and deckhand Cy were amazing!!! They were knowledgeable, kind, funny and my kids loved them!!! We booked this activity last minute and we do not regret it!! So much fun, saw tons of dolphins and even cleaned up some trash in the ocean!! If I could give 100 stars I would!

Outstanding Tour-about

Edward_S, May 2026

Outstanding trip: we saw late-season humpbacks (female, offspring, two trailing males) plus a dolphin escort, in addition to the spinner dolphins more usually seen this time of year (early to mid-May). The pilot and assistant were knowledgeable about these mammals and their behaviors, and knew where to look for them. And the assistant dispensed snacks and beverages besides--much appreciated!
