Experience a morning Maui Whale Watching tour.
Set sail on Maui’s Morning Whale Watching Tour aboard a sailing catamaran from Lahaina Harbor.
Each winter, the calm waters of the Auau Channel become one of the world’s best whale-watching destinations, as humpback whales migrate from Alaska to breed and play. The auau channel is one of the whale’s favorite playgrounds. Here, the water goes from shallow to deep and back very quickly, offering optimal conditions for them.
Our 9 AM departure offers the perfect start to your day – exceptional morning conditions, smooth seas, and incredible chances to see whales breaching, tail-slapping, and spouting all around our vessel. Along the way, our friendly crew shares fascinating insights into whale behavior, marine life, and local culture.
This two-hour sailing charter includes light refreshments and exceptional island views. This memorable adventure will be a highlight of your trip.
Reserve your Morning Whale Watch today and discover why Maui is the world’s best whale-watching destination.
