Whale Watching on the Majestic - We went on the whale watching excursion in December and we saw so many humpback whales! I had low expectations based on people saying watching is better on Maui. The naturalist shared information about the whales and gave us tips on what to look for. The first two we saw were so close to the boat. Others that we saw were further away but a few breached which was cool to see. The boat offers a bar and a small menu that includes sandwiches and snacks. Pop, coffee, tea, and water were free. This was definitely worth the trip. Even if there were no whales the boat ride was nice. If you get seasick you’ll want to take meds before getting on the boat.

Great morning on the Pacific - Crew were AWESOME. The day was perfect on the boat. The whales, however, were not cooperating so they gave our entire party reride passes. We're going back tomorrow morning. Mahalo!

So, so whale watching trip - The boat is just lovely. There is lots of room for passengers. And drinks are provided. Whales were non existent unless passengers found the spouts. The crew never found a whale it was always the passengers and they were so far away that it was pretty much not a whale watching trip.
