Doing what: Maui Whale Watch Cruise
This was a pretty good cruise.... because it was later in the season, it took awhile to see a whale, but it was worth it when we did- we were able to see a mother teaching her new calf how to breach.

excellent and entertaining guides; great skipper who found many whales; of course, beautiful weather as a bonus
We had a great time and would do it again. The captain is very nice.

We had a great time on the boat and got to see whale come right up to the boat. The guide was very informative and the boat was top notch. This is a must see trip when in Maui during Whale season.

I found this trip very exciting. We saw two sets of competitive pods (males fighting for the female). Crew was great. We went on the 12:00 noon boat. There were only about 15 people on the boat so we didn't have the crowds like the earlier boats. Great trip. Would highly recommend.

We probably saw 20 whales. Our guide led a very informative tour. Snacks and beverages were for sale. To keep the animals as safe as possible, the ship has to keep a reasonable distance, so if you are bringing a camera, I recommend a telephoto lens.
Enjoyed this trip and did indeed see humpback whales. The ship was brilliant with plenty of room and amenities. Would certainly recommend this trip to to others.

Great captain and plenty of opportunities to see active humpbacks in January...even watched a mother teaching her calf how to splash its tail. A little disappointed that we were "upgraded" to a larger boat due to the fact that a cruise ship had docked and off loaded a huge amount of passengers. Regardless, the larger boat was still able to get us out and among the whales quiet well.

We saw lots of Whales!! Loved this tour, meal was comparable, if not better than the one we had at PCC. Boat is very smooth and stable on the water, if you are wary of boating you will like the Navitek.

Oahu Whale Watching was worth it! We saw a couple of whale that day, awesome view of Waikiki beach, Diamond Head and lunch with dessert was excellent. Highly Recommended!

I have taken several whale watching cruises and this one by far was the best. The staff were very friendly and Mario did the narrating and was just great. We saw lots of whales and 3 breeches. Loved every single minute of the cruise.
