Even though we went out... - Even though we went out toward the end of whale season, we were still able to see multiple humpbacks, including a momma and baby breaching the water right next to the boat. Travis and Dani were super nice and knowledgeable. 100% would book again with Makai Adventures!

Whales! - Maui was hit with Kona Low while we were there this year. The whale watch saved our vacation. If we go back to Maui, we will do another with Makai Adventures. Travis and Noah were a lot of fun and informative. Best day of our vacation.

Albert see whale. Albert like whale. - We had a lot of surface activity. It was amazing. Levi and Allie were wonderful guides. They were fun and took good care of us. We had a member of our group start to feel oogey. Levi jumped in and got her in the back of the boat before things got any worse. So thoughtful and aware.

Absolutely Fantastic trip! Whales everywhere!!! - Best day on Maui!!! We went on the 6:45am whale watching trip, and it was fantastic!! If you get there early, you can park there, but parking is limited. Noah met us at the boat dock, ( see the chair with Makai Adventures on it) and explained everything. The boat was pretty new, in heat shape. Travis was fantastic at finding and positioning the boat for the best views, while Noah explained so much about the humpback whales, migration, and their lives. We ran upon a Competition pod of whales, with one female and multiple males trying to be the chosen one for mating. At one time they were right beside our boat. Magnificent creatures, just amazing, and Travis and Noah were having a blast also! Book this Today!! Support small family business while having your best day in Maui!!
