Whale Watching Lahaina & Makena – South Maui

Every winter, something truly magical happens in Maui’s waters. From December through April, thousands of humpback whales migrate from Alaska to the warm, sheltered bays of South Maui to breed and raise their young.

Our Whale Watching Lahaina & Makena Tour invites you to witness this breathtaking natural event up close, from a peaceful, eco-friendly kayak.

It’s not simply a sightseeing tour, but rather a deep and emotional connection to nature where you will feel the sea beneath your kayak when the whale makes its dramatic breach just metres away, the big tail catching the light and sparkling.

Kayaking, snorkeling, and whale watching...... Cannot get any better? We'll start the morning out paddling where the whales spend time either playing, or transiting between and west Maui. If you've done this before, you'll always remember and want to hit repeat (anyone remember "Groundhog Day" movie?). We bet even Bill Murray wouldn't want this one to end!

At Maui Eco Tours, we hold the view that whale watching is an intimate, respectful, and memorable experience.

This is the reason why we only take small groups with us and operate only during the calm, early-morning hours thus there are no crowds and you have the greatest opportunity to watch whales carry on with their natural routines.
