Maui Eco-Raft Tour: Eye-Level Whale or Dolphin Watching – Lahaina

2.Maui Eco-Raft Tour: Eye-Level Whale or Dolphin Watching – Lahaina

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,482 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $85

From Lahaina, ride a small zodiac raft for whale watching from December to April or dolphin watching and coastal sightseeing in summer. A marine naturalist explains local wildlife, and whale-season trips use a hydrophone to pick up whale songs. Crews have included Captain Jack and marine biologist Jess, though the team can vary.

“We had a memorable time seeing the whales & some babies. The highlight was hearing the whale songs. Description of beverages on board is a little misleading; only water was offered upon request.”

Maui Snorkeling Adventure to Molokini and Turtle Town

3.Maui Snorkeling Adventure to Molokini and Turtle Town

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 2,221 reviews · 5 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $159

Depart Maalaea Harbor aboard Malolo Charters for a 5.5-hour morning cruise to Molokini and, conditions permitting, Turtle Town or Coral Gardens.

Expect an early check-in, a professional crew, two restroom facilities, and a chance to spot turtles, tropical fish, and sometimes whales.

“Snorkel adventure was good; staff was friendly and helpful. The food was nice and refreshing after our adventures. At times the boat accommodations felt every tight and crowded. I would have liked to spend more time actually snorkeling than waiting for everyone to get on and off at the locations.”

Maui: Haleakala Sunrise Spectacular with Local Breakfast

4.Haleakala Sunrise Spectacular with Local Breakfast

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 2,155 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $254

Ride an air-conditioned minibus up Haleakala before dawn, then watch the sunrise near the 9,740-foot Visitor Center. The roughly 10-hour tour includes selected-hotel pickup, park admission, guide commentary and a sit-down breakfast. Guides have included Preston, Alfredo and Gavin. Bring serious warm layers: the summit can be cold, windy and wet, and clear skies are never guaranteed.

“This is an amazing experience. Prepare for wet and cold, it is part of experience. Warm and waterproof are your friends. Dress in layers, if you can find goretex I would recommend it! Don’t forget to follow this advice for footwear too! The sun did not cooperate with the clouds, but we had a wonderful guide that made us not even worry about that and created an immersive experience. Preston was amazing. The breakfast is nice too.”

Meet your guide at Makena Landing Park for a roughly two-hour, small-group shore snorkel near Maui’s Turtle Town. Joe, Robbie, or Alex may lead; gear, instruction, life jackets, photos, and raw video clips are included. Expect about an hour of guided snorkeling, and be ready for a swim from shore.

“Guide Robbie was great and it was a fun experience (especially with the jet!) If I were to deduct 1/2 Star, there was a last minute change of location which we weren’t planning on so we had to get an uber instead of walk, but it was a minor inconvenience and communication was good.”

Guides such as Salesi are praised for local stories and safe driving, but the full day includes many tight curves.

“Worth every dollar! Our driver/guide, Sale, was informative and entertaining every step of the way. A beautiful view everywhere you looked! Plenty of photo ops and sightseeing too, with opportunities to swim. We were well fed and the pizza lunch was excellent.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,575 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $232

Leave Kihei at 7 a.m. aboard Redline Rafting’s speedy raft for Molokini Crater, its little-seen back wall, and Turtle Town.

Guides named in recent trips include Tony, Nick, Kelly, Chase, and Josh, though the crew can vary.

“Tony and Nick are the best hosts! We had such an awesome experience! Definitely take the five hour tour. First time to snorkel. I don’t swim very well, so was nervous and freaked out on the first dive. Tony and Nick were great! They coached me and encouraged me and the next two dives I did much better! They also know so much about the islands and are fantastic hosts. Don’t miss the best snorkeling experience with the best hosts. Thank you, Tony and Nick!”

From Maalaea: Whale Watching Tour Aboard the Quicksilver

11.Whale Watching Tour Aboard the Quicksilver

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,461 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $49Best value

Sail from Ma’alaea Harbor aboard the Quicksilver, a double-deck power catamaran, for a two-hour whale watch during Maui’s December-to-April season. The captain and crew share information about whale behavior, while underwater hydrophones bring whale songs aboard. Juice and soda are included, and the boat has a shaded cabin and two restrooms.

“This was an amazing whale-watching tour! The crew was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and helpful throughout the entire experience. The two-hour tour is the perfect length for most visitors, especially families with young children. If you’re able to spend more time on the water, I’d recommend a four-hour tour, as the longer duration allows you to see more wildlife and fully enjoy the beauty of the ocean.”
