I had never been on a whale watching tour before…read more Being here while the humpback whales were chilling in Maui was an experience I'll never forget. Finding the spot initially was a little confusing, we were the last ones to show up! You are given a number based on when you arrive and you choose a seat on the boat. There is a captain and a naturalist on board who talks about the whales. If you're sitting in the back of the boat, you really can't hear what's being said so sit at the front or in the middle. We circled around and got to see a baby whale breech the water! Such magnificent animals. When a microphone was lowered in the water, we could hear the whales "singing." Did you know it's only the males that do this? The time goes by reallllly fast, so just enjoy being out there.

We had the best time on our snorkeling tour today!…read more It was our first snorkeling tour, and we truly couldn't have asked for a better experience. My husband was also snorkeling for the first time and was (not so quietly) terrified, but Will made him feel so much safer and more comfortable in the water. Will, Nicholas, Zac, and Catherine were all so wonderful - they made us feel welcomed and excited from the moment we arrived. Lila was also great and so much fun to take photos with! The entire experience was fantastic, and the food and drinks were delicious as well. We had such an amazing time and will absolutely be booking more tours in the future. Highly recommend!

THE BEST THING WE DID ON MAUI!!!…read more We did the Ma'alaea Sunset Cruise with Captain Zach, Catherine, and Becca. The crew was so kind and so attentive. And the food was GREAT! We did the appetizer cruise and it was definitely enough food to be full. The drinks were great and the crew made sure our cups were never empty. The sunset was absolutely beautiful. We would absolutely do it again. They even have a photographer, so we ended up buying a picture from them (although $40 seems a little overpriced for one photo). If you are looking for a romantic (or just fun thing to do) on Maui, you have to check this out!

This time we were with Kersten and Travis and they also were knowledgeable, friendly, and enthusiastic. Unbelievably, this time we saw groups of male whales, competing for eight female or females. There were no less than seven whales swimming in a huge circle around our boat. It was truly an amazing experience as they were within 10 feet and you could hear them exhale and smell them as well. The boat was unbelievably smooth and stable.

Shasta got in the water with the group at both stops and if you stayed with her, she told you about local ocean life and did a little show and tell. It was super informative! While it was the end of whale season, we did luck out and see a momma and baby whale. It was incredible! Snorkeled along side sea turtles and a million fish. I highly recommend this small group tour!! All gear was provided and the boat was very thoughtfully laid out. 10 stars!

Not only did we see 5+ whales, but we were also thrilled to spot a pod of 12+ dolphins--such an unforgettable surprise! Shannon and Alison made the trip extra special with their fun personalities, deep knowledge, and genuine passion for marine life. It was clear they truly care about the ocean and treat the animals with the utmost respect, which made the experience even more meaningful. I would highly recommend Maui Ocean Adventures to anyone looking for a memorable and responsible whale watching experience. Plus, it's a wonderful bonus to support a woman-owned business

We got very up close and we're able to really experience these amazing creatures. Got more video that's way better with breaches but I feel like we were very fortunate to see what we did.

Thank goodness one of my coworkers told me about her whale watching tour that she bought through…read moregroupon! I bought a 2 hour whale watching tour for 2 people for only $60!!! Let me tell you, this was THE BEST $60 I've spent in my life! I can't stop talking about it & sharing the pictures & videos of my experience. Park at the Whaler's village parking lot & make your way to the beach fronting Leilani's restaurant. There you will see blue umbrellas with Blue Maui's logo. Make sure to check in 15 mins before your trip & go to the bathroom before you get on the boat! From the beach you'll get into a small boat which will take you to the medium sized boat. I forced my boyfriend to sit at the front of the boat because I wanted to get the full experience! Let's just say we went out really, really far... For the first 30 mins we say only a few whales from far away, but then things changed! We saw a few boats that were just chilling & decided to join them. The whales were popping up & checking out the other boats. I screamed with excitement so many times. I literally love whales! The whales made their way towards us & I almost died because they were so close. We even got splashed by them with their tail! Make sure you take your GoPro because you're able to stick it in the water! We got amazing videos! The whales were so close & you could even hear them! I'm telling everyone about Blue Maui & how it was such a lifetime experience. Thank you to our guides who did such a great job finding the whales & giving us lots of info. Make sure you wear lots of sunscreen cause we got super burnt! We had a whale of a time & will hopefully island hop back next year to see the whales!

Snorkeling with electric sea scooters is the BEST! Our guide, "Octopus Joe", is extremely…read moreexperienced: he knows the area well and we saw and swam with 2 turtles. As promised, he found an octopus and put on a show with it (humanely, of course). We saw tons of tropical fish too. The scooters themselves are an absolute blast. They're the most fun thing I've ever done in the water. This is our second time doing an e-scooter tour and we highly recommend this place. We had plenty of time to scoot around on our own in pairs, too.

If you only do one thing on the ocean in Maui, do the Zephyr kayak + snorkeling "whale watch"…read moretour!! We've been to other snorkeling in Maui, and this was the BEST experience ever. We were swimming with SO. MANY. TURTLES. (Apparently if you go in the winter season, you'd see a lot of whales!)! I know there are other "turtle town spots around the island, and we've been to a "turtle town". But the sheer amount of turtles you will see here is unparalleled. Our guides Derek and Robbie were awesome: 1. They took so many photos of us - diving under waters to capture the turtles and us, took 200+ photos and 40 videos and was constantly in the water looking out for turtles. 2. They are also such great swimmers and made me feel at ease given that I'm fairly new to snorkeling. At some point I lost one of my fins and started panicking, but Derek swiftly recovered the lost fin! We also capsized at some point, but with Robbie's calm instructions, we quickly made it back to the kayak. Whew! 3. We also heard several interesting stories and facts about the history of the islands around. Overall, this is absolutely a can-not-miss tour in Maui and we can't wait to be back for the whale season!

I had a great time learning about whales and seeing one up close!
