About
Come experience a truly unique Whale Watch Tour aboard a traditional Hawaiian Outrigger Canoe as you learn the culture, art and sport of canoe paddling along with information pertaining to the non-instrumental navigational techniques used by Polynesian voyagers.
Your front row seat and eye level journey departs beautiful Wailea Beach along the south coast of Maui with Haleakala, Lana’i, Molokini, Kaho’olawe and the West Maui mountains as your backdrop! Come see the Kohola (whales) as they spy hop, tail slap, fin slap and breach. During the months of November to April, the Humpback Whales travel 3,500 miles from their feeding grounds in Alaska to mate and give birth in the Hawaiian Islands. A majority of these beautiful whales can be seen off the coastline of Maui among other sea life that may include turtles(honu), eagle rays(hihimanu), dolphins(nai’a), and species of fish endemic to this island paradise. Come join us for an unforgettable experience for the whole family!
