Frequently Asked Questions

What can I expect to see on the whale watching tour?

A whale watching experience is an exciting and unpredictable experience allowing you to see various whale activities happening such as tail flapping to breaching. Breaching is when a whale rises completely out of the water and crashes down again. Whatever the whales choose to do, it will be sure to entertain you beyond words.

Can I bring a camera?

Yes. This is the perfect chance for photo taking opportunities as you capture the magic of the humpback whales in their natural environment. With panoramic ocean views on board our cruise, you will not miss a single moment of Maui’s majestic whales, with pictures to last you a lifetime.

When is whale watching season?

Whale watching season begins December 24 and goes through to April 15, during which thousands of Humpback whales return to Hawaii for a few months each year to mate and give birth.
