OVER 1,000 5-STAR REVIEWS!

The crew was fantastic and went out of their way to find whales. I highly recommend this excursion.

We enjoyed getting to see what came up with the traps and getting to hold a live lobster. It was a good length of a tour and I'd definitely recommend it for the kids or adults like me who are still kids at heart. The ship captain and naturalist were very friendly and great guides.

We booked a whale watching tour through this company. It was a great experience we saw several whales and porpoise and dolphins while on the tour. The crew and staff were great and they really took time to make our tour extra special. We highly recommend this company to all who want to experience an once in a lifetime experience.

During our adventure we saw seals, the infamous puffins, bald eagles along with many other critters as well. The crew were accommodating, professional, a little humorous, and knowledgeable. Highly recommend if you're up for a boat ride in the Bar Harbor area.

So fun! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, the boat had plenty of room to walk around and the captain did a great job making sure we could all see the landmarks they were pointing out. I’d go again!

Interesting history of Bar Harbor area coupled with eagles, hawks, cormorants, gannets and other sea birds. Good narration by our naturalist, Ruth, who was informative and interesting. Enjoyed the lighthouses and seeing the diverse harbors and island shores.

We loved both Captain Edwin and narrator Andy. Both were so gracious, clearly caring about everyone's comfort and involvement. The knowledge that both shared regarding the local seas, lobsters, crabs, seals, and landmarks was very interesting and informative. We caught a variety of sea life in the traps - lobster, crabs, and a sea cucumber. We spotted dozens of seals. The boat itself was stable, clean, and well maintained. It had flaps to protect from high winds and sea spray, but you are allowed to open the flaps as you want. I am someone who can get seasick easily, but I did not feel even the bit queasy. They do post a sign at the dock on the day of your tour that states the sea sickness level, so if it indicates a high level of sea sickness, you can take Dramamine or other in advance. Kids and adults alike enjoyed this tour and it was very interactive.

The boat is roomy, both inside ans out on the decks; staff friendly and knowledgeable. The sound system is nice and clear so all guests can hear what the naturalist is saying about the wildlife. And...oh...the whales!!! It was amazing, and I hope to do it again. Well worth the price.

On this once in a lifetime experience, we chose to go with this whale 🐋 watching 👀 tour There are many companies that offer varying tours, and this is the only one I've ever experienced, so can only speak about this one; nor do I have anything to compare it to. This experience was 100% as expected (and advertised) with zero surprises. The Captain, crew, ancillary staff,safety/security personnel and tour guide were all highly trained, knowledgeable, courteous, professional, & welcoming. It was just a fantastic overall 'refreshing' vibe. The scenery was nothing short of amazing, awe-inspiring, and magical. We saw EIGHT humpback whales!!! I am a seasoned world traveler, have visited numerous bucket list places, and have done literally hundreds of excursions through Trip Advisor and similar platforms. I 100%, would do this again if the opportunity presented itself. For others? I highly, highly recommend this experience. 👌

We went on the lighthouse tour and it was wonderful! The guide did a fabulous job informing us about lighthouses, history of the area and alerting us to wildlife. Highly recommend this tour!

The captain and crew went off their route to find interesting sights and sea life for our cruise. The Naturalist on board was knowledgeable and interesting. Highly recommend it!

We had a great experience with the Nature Cruise, we learned a lot about the area and saw some great scenic views! I highly recommend binoculars, you can rent some on the boat, but they’re limited. We got to see seals, porpoises, and a few bald eagles, which was really cool because I had never seen one before and they were what I wanted to see most! I definitely plan on going back again for more cruises!

Gray Whales of the Winter and Spring

Best Value Whale Watching in San Diego!

In San Diego, large vessels that take more than 100 guests charge in excess of $60 per person. These large boats are also very slow, requiring trips that take more than half an hour just to reach the ocean! Skip those crowds and book with Gone Whale Watching for nearly the same price. Our boats are limited to just 6 guests and can cover twice the range of the big boats in half the time! We created these discounted 100 minute dolphin and whale watching tours to meet the needs of our budget-conscious guests. Every single human being deserves to have the opportunity to experience these amazing animals up-close with no crowds!

Select " Discount Winter/Spring Dolphin and Whale Watching Tours " from our trip menu!

_MG_9610_edited.jpg

Same Incredible Experience for Half the Price

Gray Whales and Pacific White-Sided Dolphins migrate close to shore during the winter and spring, making this an ideal time for a shorter-duration tour! Sightings can't be fully guaranteed, but your odds of seeing dolphins and whales is well above 90%

View Dolphins & Whales From Water-Level!

There's nothing like a sharp dolphin or whale photo from water-level! We understand whale watching can be an expensive hobby, and we wanted to offer an experience from our superior platforms that wasn't cost prohibitive! We started Gone Whale Watching to share the experience of viewing these animals in their natural environment with EVERYONE!

The Ultimate Guide to Whale Watching on Maui: Best Tours and Tips

Share with your friends!

If you’re heading out to Maui during the winter, consider yourself lucky. You are in for a whale-watching treat. While you can easily casually spot these beautiful creatures from shore, a little more information can help you get the most out of whale watching on Maui. 

What is the best time of year to see whales on Maui?

Whale season officially runs from mid-December to April, though you can spot whales as early as October or November. Most whale tour companies offer guaranteed whale sightings from December through May because that’s when you have your best chances of seeing whales. 

Peak whale watching season is usually considered January through March, which is when you have the majority of whales here. Looking out at the water during those months, you’re almost guaranteed to see whales from land.  You can read more about whale counts, the peak month, and the best time to see whales in Hawaii .

Visiting during peak season? Learn more about visiting Maui in February.  

whale watching maui

Why do whales come to Maui?

Each year as many as 12,000 whales make the migration from Alaska to Hawaii to breed, give birth, and nurture their calves. The warm water here makes it a perfect place to enjoy the birth. Humpback whales have an 11-12 month gestation period, so they’ll mate in Hawaii one year and return the next year to give birth. 

What is the best Hawaiian island for whale watching? 

You can technically see whales from any of the Hawaiian islands, but you’ll have the best whale-watching experience on Maui . That’s because a majority of whales make their way to the warm and shallow waters of the Auau channel — the channel between Maui, Molokai, and Lanai. It’s one of the best whale-watching destinations in the world. That’s why if you’re staying on the leeward side (western side) of Maui, you’ll see plenty of whales in the water just offshore. 

What are the best places for whale watching on Maui?

There are a couple of options for whale watching on Maui: you can stick to dry land and watch them from the shore, or you can head out onto the water with a whale watching tour. 

whale watching maui

Watching whales from shore:

You don’t have to head out onto a boat to see whales — you can actually see them from different places on the Maui shore. In order from South Maui to West Maui, here are the best Maui whale watching locations from the shore:

  • Pu’u Ola’i Beach: located off Wailea Alanui Drive, near Makena Beach.
  • Wailea Oceanside Path: Take a stroll on the Wailea Beach Resort Boardwalk from the Fairmont Kea Lani Hotel to Ulua Beach. Perfect for sunset viewing.
  • Visitor Center for the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary: Newly renovated, this is a great place to see whales breach while learning about the marine environment in their exhibits. 726 South Kihei Road, Kihei.
  • McGregor Point Lookout: On the Honoapiilani Highway between Ma’alea and Lahaina is a scenic outlook with plenty of parking. This is the top place for consistent whale viewing as it is high up on a cliff overlooking the ocean.
  • Lahaina Pali Trailhead: The trailhead is on the Honoapiilani Highway on the Lahaina side of the tunnel at 20 Honoapiilani Highway, between Coral Gardens and Papalaua Wayside Park.
  • Olowalu: Five miles south of Lahaina on the Honoapiilani Highway in the village of Olowaul is a viewing area up the hill. Turn into the Olowalu General Store and Leoda’s Kitchen, then follow the dirt road behind the store up the hill for great vistas.
  • Ka’anapali Beach Walking Path: Walk the beachside path from Black Rock to the Hyatt on the south side of Ka’anapali to see whales frolicking in the waters.

Want tips or answers to your questions about whales? The Pacific Whale Foundation has a marine naturalist manning a table at the McGregor Point Lookout on Route 30, Honoapi’ilani Highway. The station is manned from 8:00 am to 2:00 pm daily during the whale season.

You are also welcome to go to the Visitor Center of the Hawaiian Island Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary. Located on the beachfront in Kihei (South Maui), the Visitor Center is an ideal location to watch humpback whales breach and learn about the marine environment.

Types of Whale Watching Tours on Maui:

If you’d like to head out onto the water to get a closer view of the whales in the water, there are a number of different tour options available to you. You can choose to head out on a:

  • Outrigger Canoe

1. Catamaran whale watching

A number of the whale watching tour operators use catamarans to take large groups out whale watching. You’ll generally find groups of over 100 people on the large catamarans. Though during peak whale season you generally don’t have to worry about not being able to see through the crowd — they often do a good job of rotating the boat or spreading people out to make sure everyone gets to see something. 

2. Sailboat

Heading out on a sailboat offers a smaller group experience than catamaran whale watching. You’ll usually find that the sailboats will take out groups of 60 or less. They might also offer more upscale amenities, such as breakfast or mai tai drinks. Our favorite sailboat tour operator is Sail Maui .

Rafting is another popular tour type and you’ll hit the water with an even smaller group. Rafts offer a faster ride so you can cover more ground than you would in a catamaran or sailboat. And you’re closer to the water so if a whale does venture close, you get a great view. But these can be bumpier rides so it won’t be a smooth, luxurious sailing experience. We love rafting for whale watching and from Lahaina, we go out on Ultimate Whale Watch .

4. Kayaking

Get some exercise while looking for whales. Hop in a kayak and head out with a guide to paddle out to the whales. These small group tours can’t cover as much ground as a regular boat tour, but it gives you a unique, adrenaline-filled experience. 

5. Outrigger Canoe

Jump in an outrigger canoe — the form of transportation that Hawaiians have used for centuries. Powered by your arms, this is a unique way to get out on the water and see the whales. Just like a kayak, you won’t cover as much ground. But your guides will know where to take you to have the best chance of seeing whales.

If you want a canoe experience, without the paddling, the check out Maui Sailing Canoe from Polo Beach in Wailea (South Maui at the Fairmont). It is magical to be on a sailing canoe, close to the water, and even closer to the whales.

How much does it cost to whale watch in Maui?

If you’re going with a tour, rather than whale watching on your own from shore, prices will range. Some of the larger boats will offer deals and discounts, so you may be able to find a whale-watching tour for $50 per person. Smaller boats and more intimate experiences can often run $100 or more per person. 

What are the best whale-watching tours on Maui?

There are several different whale-watching tours you can take on Maui. When you come during whale season, you can hardly walk down the street without someone trying to get you to head out on their boat. We’ve done so many different tours and these are our favorites .

Make sure to check out the full listing of our favorite whale watching tours on Maui , plus the exclusive discounts we are able to share with you!

Maui Adventure Tours

Prefer to kayak out to the whales? Maui Adventure Tours leave from the shores of Olowalu Beach, just south of Lahaina. Kayak, snorkel, and have an amazing time out on the water. Whale sightings are guaranteed from January – April.  Read more about the details with Maui Adventure Tours . 

Whale watching options in Kihei and South Maui

Kai kanani:.

We are lucky enough to have been out with Kai Kanani several times and they’re always our go-to sailing experience on South Maui. Not only do they provide best-in-class service, they also leave directly from Maluaka Beach, so there’s no need to drive to Maalaea harbor. Read more about Kai Kanani whale watching . 

Redline Rafting:

This south Maui rafting experience is a favorite for Molokini backside tours. But they also have amazing whale-watching tours.

Tips for whale watching:

Want to be as prepared as possible for your whale-watching experience? Our video lays out seven tips to help you make the most of your experience: 

Here are a few whale-watching tips that you want to take note of:

The best time of the day to go whale watching?

There is no best time of the day to whale watch. Really. We’ve asked the naturalists. We’ve gone out at all different times of the day. Whales are not more active one time of day compared to the other. 

That said, there are some reasons you may want to skip an afternoon tour. It can get hot out on the water, even in the middle of winter. We find the temperature a little more favorable during the earlier morning boat rides. 

Go whale watching at the beginning of your trip

Most whale watching tour operators offer guaranteed sightings. But that doesn’t mean you’ll get your money back if your boat doesn’t see a whale. What that means is that they’ll offer you another trip free of charge. If you’re whale watching on your final day in Maui, another free trip isn’t going to do you much good. So though it’s very rare to not see any whales, plan to go whale watching early on in your trip so you can take advantage of the sighting guarantee. 

What you should bring whale watching

You won’t need much for your whale watching trip, but there are a few items that will make your time on the boat more enjoyable:

  • Reef safe sunscreen. Learn why reef safe sunscreen is the only legal sunscreen in Hawaii.
  • Sunglasses and hat
  • A light jacket for the early morning tours
  • A towel. You might get wet if you sit up front on a sailboat or raft
  • Camera and or Go Pro for underwater shots
  • Binoculars can be helpful, especially if you’re watching whales that aren’t yet close to the boat. 

And don’t forget to take sea sickness medication before the trip if you need it!

Can children go whale watching?

Absolutely! Check with individual whale watching tours to learn about their minimum age requirements. For example, Ultimate Whale Watching states that the minimum age is 3 years old.

What can you see whale watching on Maui?

Humpback whales are incredible creatures and they often put on a show that whale watchers can enjoy. Here are a few things you can expect to see while out whale watching: 

Boats must stay 100 yards away from a humpback whale. Mugging occurs when a whale approaches a boat to take a closer look.

Spy Hopping

Vertically floating in the water, a whale will pop its eyes out of the water to see what is happening on the surface. The whale’s rostrum or head is completely out of the water; this is called a spy hop.

This is what you are waiting for, a breach. Humpback whales are famous for their playful, acrobatic feats. They gain speed quickly and launch their 35-ton+ selves out of the water and land with a terrific splash.

The peduncle muscle, located between the dorsal fin and the flukes, provides a strong force to push the whale upwards and onwards. Researchers believe the maneuver is to blast off parasites or announce their presence, but no one really knows.

​​A Blow

About every 15 to 20-minutes adult humpback whales swim to the surface to breathe. They can go 45-minutes on a deep dive. A blow results in a fine mist of hot, condensed water from their lungs that can go as high as 20-feet. This is the easiest way to spot whales.

Pec Slapping

A pectoral slap is when a female whale lifts one or both large fins out of the water and then slaps the water repeatedly. Scientists believe this is to attract males in the area. At up to 16-feet long, the pec makes quite a splash.

Tail Slapping

If the pec slap isn’t enough for you, try a tail slap or tail throw. The fluke (tail) is raised out the water and thrashed down onto the surface. The slap can create a gunshot-like-sound that carries onto the shore. It is often done repeatedly either to show aggression or play. Juveniles like to practice this trick.

A Fluke Dive

The party is over. When the tail is evenly and fully out of the water, their bodies are in an upside-down upward arch under the water. This signals the whales are going on a deep dive.

If the whales are underwater and there’s not much surface activity, your naturalist may decide to put a hydrophone underwater so you can hear the whale songs. 

Heading to Maui for whale watching?

Don’t miss the other good stuff the island has to offer. You can explore more by visiting our Maui Guide, which will share important information like where to stay and what to do while you’re here. 

And if you want an easy way to plan your vacation, we offer a done for you Maui itinerary with seven excursion days. These days are carefully planned out to take you to the best spots on the island on efficient routes, so you can make the most of your stay. 

“Just wanted to thank you for the awesome itinerary you have put together. We just got back from our 10 day Maui trip & it was such a great help to my family. We saw and experienced so much. Thank you for putting all of this fantastic travel information out there! For this travel research nerd, I sure do appreciate it!”

A gallery features drinks and snacks, or you can bring your own. 301 W. Cabrillo Blvd. Santa Barbara, CA 93109.

Everyone is very friendly and helpful. Right after I purchased our tickets online, I received an email with detailed information on directions, parking, when to arrive, what to bring, etc. Our whale watching cruise lasted for 2 1/2 hours and we saw several groups of humpback whales. From the time we arrived to when we left, every employee was friendly, courteous, informative, and very helpful. We couldn't have asked for a better whale watching company.

An AMAZING experience. I've gone whale watching with Princess Monterey 5 times now and never disappointed. Staff is kind and great! We went on Wednesday Sept1st and Thursday the 2nd and both days we saw some spectacular scenes. Loads of lunge feeding and breaching!!!!

We had an amazing tour, about 3 hours, and we travel about 30 minutes into sea and we found a spot with lots of whales and sea lions feasting on anchovies! Our tour guides said our tour was one of the most sightings they have experienced in a while! This tour was really worth it! The boat is comfortable, with clean toilets and option for inside or outside seating. They also sell some snacks and drinks in the boat. I will highly recommend this tour!

This is my third trip with Princess Whale Watching. I highly enjoyed each trip. No two the same. I especially like the educational aspect and the biologist giving interesting information about the species of wildlife being viewed. All crew members were friendly and helpful. The boats are clean and well maintained. They know exactly where to take the boat to put you right in the middle of whale action. No complaints here!

Start off your day with a good breakfast to fill up your belly. Don’t bring binoculars because the boat brings you close. But do bring a nice camera with a nice lens to be sure you can get a nice shot of the whales. We saw a big feeding group of about 100 sea lions, 200 seagulls and about 6-10 whales. It was really awesome and something I’ll never forget. None of this would be possible without the great crew aboard the Princess Monterey! You won’t regret it!

We were 8 miles out, with fantastic views of humpback whales, Rizzo's dolphins, pelicans, and of course seals/sea lions. The commentator was clear and informative. I felt completely safe, and the crew clearly knew what they were doing. I would definitely do this again!

We had a great trip with Princess Monterey. We saw a great show and the naturalist on board did a great job of explaining the details of the whale and wildlife behavior. The captain also was very adept at positioning the boat for viewing multiple surfacing of the whales and their activity. We also followed the advice of others about layering for weather and were glad we had warm clothing!

The crew and the marine specialist were SO nice and knowledgeable. They made every effort to make sure we were enjoying ourselves and we learned a lot. AND we saw SOOO many whales, one of which went under our boat and came up right next to us! They were breaching left and right. We didn't know where to look and we didn't want to go back to shore! Thank you to everyone for making it such a special afternoon for my family!

CONSERVATION OF MONTEREY BAY
