We had the best day whale watching! We saw so many baby whales with their mamas and it was a truly amazing experience! Mindy and James were great guides. They had great energy and were very knowledgeable. I would definitely book this tour again next time. We also loved that it was a smaller boat and smaller group of people.

Great Whale Watching Experience!

Scott_F, Mar 2026

Crew was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic! Boat size was great, max 20 people so there was no worry about having someone block your view. Would definitely book this one again!

The best day!

Pure Whale Bliss!

Matthew_M, Jan 2026

Absolutely awesome group of people running this boat. Shannon and Alison were fun and knowledgeable and put us on the whales within 5min of starting the tour all the way until over 2hrs later. Mom and baby pairs, breaches, competition group and double tail action were just some of what we saw. And can't stress enough how awesome it is to do that and support a local company like them. And Macy is an awesome boat that offers advantages over the rubber raft style ones such as split level viewing and faster speed so you spend more time watching whales. Would 10000% recommend booking with them and we will be back.

Thank you so much, Matthew! Shannon and Allison are just the absolute best, and we are so glad you agree! Sounds like you definitely had a whale of a time out there, and we can't wait to have you all back!

Fantastic crew and boat!

What a fantastic whale watch trip! Captain Emma did an amazing job getting us respectfully near the whales. Her passion for these creatures is contagious! First mate Lainey was helpful and knowledgeable as well. The boat is comfortable and fast so you spend less time getting where you need to be. We highly recommend this trip and will be booking with them next time we visit Maui. Aloha!

Response from Host, Feb 2026

We can't wait to have you back! Captain Emma and Lainie do make a really phenomenal team, and we are so happy to hear you had a great time!

Amazing day at sea watching whales!

Jennifer_T, Jan 2026

The pink boat ladies of Maui ocean adventures are amazing! So knowledgeable about the whales and in tune to where they are. We saw whales before even leaving the harbor. Many mother calf pairs, escorts, and a lone male whose song we were able to hear. There were 11 of us on the boat with plenty of room. The small passenger limit made sure we could see and hear everything. This was well worth the price and we would have paid more for it. Such a great mid day adventure. Great job ladies!!

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Mahalo, Jennifer! We love hearing this feedback, and are so glad you had wonderful whales. The whale song is pure magic, and it helps to listen to it while you're comfortable! Thank you!

Great tour and great...

It was a spectacular day on the water. The boat was spacious, new and clean. Shannon and Laney were wonderful hosts. We saw lots of wildlife, including four whales! I do highly recommend this trip.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Thank you so much for complimenting our boat and our team! We worked hard to make it a welcoming, clean vessel that makes for a comfortable trip. And Capt. Shannon and Lainie absolutely love their jobs, and we are so lucky to have them.
