Overview

This special three-hour informative and fun whalewatch is led by a team of Pacific Whale Foundation’s certified Marine Naturalists and Marine Biologists, who explain and interpret the social behavior of humpback whales. Listen to whale songs through underwater hydrophones, watch mothers and calves interact, and see males compete for females.

Every trip is different; you never know what you will experience. Moreover, you will also be served a delicious lunch:
1st course: fruit salad with toasted coconut
2nd course: teriyaki chicken with mango chutney, vegan beyond hamburger steak with vegetarian mushroom gravy, japanese sticky rice, “local-style” potato salad-macaroni salad
Dessert: triple chocolate chip brownie

Frequently Asked Questions (9)

Q: Will I get seasick on Maui: Deluxe Whale Watching Sail?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
