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!

We didn’t see any whales... - We didn’t see any whales since it was pretty early in the season but were given a return ticket to come back for a whale tour or we could apply it to a sunset cruise, or a snorkel cruise. Finn, Haley and Clay were amazing tour guides though and we had some much fun with them. Highly recommend this company for any tours you might want to take.

Whale Watching Excursion - A fantastic cruise even though we did not see any whales. We did see some dolphins. The captain and his crew were knowledgeable and friendly. A very relaxing way to spend the afternoon.
