Our small group experience takes place in a big boat atmosphere! A maximum of 20 guests onboard allows our captain and crew the chance to focus on providing each guest with the very best experience. Our boat is really what sets us apart from other companies- we have a fast, fun and extremely comfortable boat where everyone has a cushioned seat, large open platform for viewing the whales and fast, quiet engines to help us maximize our time with the whales during your tour. Knowledgeable captains and crew who have worked among the whales for years will share whale facts and answer your questions. It's a great photo opportunity and most people who do it come back for more!

The crew was friendly and extremely knowledgable about whales and the area.
I had a bucket list experience as we were fortunate to have a whale breach just a short distance from our boat. So exciting!

This was the coolest experience! Our team, Molly, Shannon and Levi, were so knowledgeable and made this a great trip. The boat they used was awesome because you could see whales from every angle - We didn’t miss a thing and had a blast!

It was incredible to get close enough to a whale to see a calf swimming next to its mother. She was teaching her baby how to breath at the surface.

Amazing tour and tour guides. Allison was great and gave tons of insightful information and our captain (I think it was paul) had us laughing and enjoying the tour. Right up front they said it was the end of the season for whales and they would do their best to see some. We seen quite a few and we followed them around taking it all in. Amazing experience.

What a great way to see the whales and calves. Even late season, we had a great day of whale sightings up close.

Great tour!! They were very knowledgeable and shared lots of great info. We saw several whales, include a mom and baby playing around for about 15 minutes. Even saw some bottlenose dolphins!

Used Makai Adventures on my latest trip to Maui - first time using a new company after many years whale watching from Lahaina. Every part of the experience was great - friendly and responsive customer service, a great crew and a beautiful boat. Book directly with them if you can, and if you take repeat trips, you’ll get a discount. I had a wonderful time over three days and saw whales every trip and even got close to dolphins on the last day. Highly recommend this company!

Best experience for whales watching so far. Spent 3 hours chasing whales out of the coast of Lahaina.
