Maui: Exceptional Whale Watch
Overview
Spend more time with the whales, on our 2 1/2 hour whale watch, aboard Maui's ONLY air conditioned, luxury power catamaran. We are a family owned business with 40 years experience in these waters. We limit our vessels to just 60% of our US Coast Guard capacity so you have an exceptional experience, at a relaxed pace with very personalized care. We serve a delicious freshly prepared lunch with a premium open bar, featuring ice cold micro brewed local beer, hard seltzers, mai-tais, white wines from Napa, and craft cocktails with premium labels. Homemade "baked daily" white chocolate macadamia nut cookies are served after a hearty lunch. As a new product to our luxury line, we don't have many reviews for this tour. The season just started. To learn more about our new yacht, check out our other reviews for the Luxury Molokini tour aboard Pride of Maui Elua.
