2 hour whale watching - We thoroughly enjoyed our two hours with Emma and Chrissy. They were both friendly, love doing this, and were very knowledgeable about the whales. We had many great views of the whales swimming alongside us, breaching, and one Mom and baby went right under our boat. Amazing. Would highly recommend Maui Ocean Adventures and their pink boat.

Maui Ocean Adventures tops the list. - There are many good Whale watch operators in Maui. Maui Ocean Adventures tops the list. The captains are amazing. Knowledgeable, professional, caring, both to the passengers and especially the ocean. Since the boat is small, the groups are small. Everyone gets a front row seat anywhere on the boat. A no frills experience, worth the price.

Awesome Whale Watching Experience. - This was our first time using Maui Ocean Adventures and we were not disappointed. I really liked the up close and personal feeling that we experienced in a smaller boat. It felt like our Captain Emma really made every attempt to get us as close as possible to each sighting of whale activity. The entire staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Living here on Maui, we have the option of using many different companies for whale watching, we will definitely book with Maui Ocean Adventures again as well as recommend to people to do the same. Mahalo for a great experience.

The best whale watching season we have been on - We have been to Maui for the last 20 years, usually in Jan-March - prime whale watching season. This trip today with MOA and captain Shannon and first mate/naturalist Allison made our trip stellar. We saw EVERYTHING today. Whale breaches, tail slaps, spy hops, peduncle waves, mom and baby, competition group, whales under the still (motor off) boat. Captain Shannon was extremely conscious of whale safety (distance from whales), passenger safety and having fun. She was also courteous of another boat that “was there first”. Honestly I know part of this is luck but skill is a big factor. This company was starting as the Lahaina fires occurred and they lost boats in the process but also saved people. Look for the pink boat. It is named after the owners beloved Macy, a whale-loving golden retriever. They are the best. (And no they gave us nothing for writing this. They are good).

Small Company but Wonderful Team! - Great tour with a small group, allowing everyone on the boat to have unobstructed view of the whales :) They are very knowledgeable and make sure to take the time to answer everyone's questions! Only wish that we could stay on the water a little longer!

Wonderful Whale Watching Excursion - We had a wonderful experience on Maui Ocean Adventures 2 Hour Prime Time Whale Watching tour. The all female crew was phenomenal—knowledgeable, engaging and entertaining. We saw multiple whales within close distance—including a mama and her calf. The small group nature of the experience also made it special. It was easy to hear the incredible information the crew provided, ask questions and have a fantastic vantage point from anywhere you are seated on the boat. I would highly recommend this excursion. Mahalo Maui Ocean Adventures for a wonderful whale watching experience!
