Best for families and couples who want a more comfortable, education-focused whale watch from Māʻalaea. Ocean Spirit carries up to 49 with marine naturalists, hydrophone, lunch and 2 drinks. Choose it for comfort and commentary; skip it if you want a small raft.

Itinerary

Maalaea Harbor — Depart from Ma'alaea Harbor on Maui's Top-Rated whale watch to view our visiting humpback whales that journey from Alaska every year to Maui's protected waters to find and mate and breed. You'll be aboard Ocean Spirit, our luxury sailing catamaran that offers the maximum in space and comfort. You'll have plenty of room to roam about for optimum viewing during this three-hour excursion to see these amazing ocean giants in their natural habitat. It's truly an amazing experience that will bring a smile to anyone's face. Whale sightings are guaranteed or we'll send you out again for free at your convenience within one year of your cruise. With world-famous Molokini Crater and the Island of Kaho'olawe to the south, the Islands of Lanai and Molokai to the north of the harbor and the West Maui Mountains and Haleakala to the east, you will have plenty of beautiful sites to view along the way besides humpback whales.
