Step aboard the Pride of Maui—the island’s most spacious and stable maxi-power catamaran—or the luxurious Pride of Maui ‘Elua for an unforgettable Maui Whale Watching & Snorkeling Adventure. Each winter, North Pacific humpback whales migrate 3,500 miles from Alaska to Maui’s warm waters for their annual breeding and birthing season. From December through March (with peak sightings in January–March), these gentle giants delight guests with thrilling displays—breaches, tail slaps, spy-hopping, and sometimes even “mugging” the boat for a closer look! Whale sightings are guaranteed January through March or your next whale watch is free.
But the adventure doesn’t stop there! In addition to two full hours of whale watching, you’ll enjoy an hour of snorkeling at a beautiful coral reef with calm waters and supreme visibility. Discover a rainbow of tropical fish—Moorish idols, angelfish, butterflyfish, and more—plus the chance to encounter sea turtles. State-of-the-art snorkel gear and flotation devices are provided, with wetsuits available for rent.
Onboard, the amenities are unmatched: two restrooms, warm freshwater showers, a jumbo water slide, submerged ladders for easy ocean access, a hardwood bar, Wolf BBQ grills, and over 2,500 feet of open deck space for panoramic viewing. The friendly, certified crew ensures your safety with onboard snorkel lessons, lifeguards in the water, and CPR-trained staff so you can relax and enjoy.
Fuel your adventure with a freshly prepared BBQ lunch featuring burgers, hot dogs, ginger shoyu chicken, chips, fresh fruit, and homemade macadamia white chocolate cookies. Pair your meal with selections from the Premium Open Bar, including Maui Brewing Co. beer, California and New Zealand wines, tropical mai tais, and refreshing non-alcoholic beverages. Vegetarian and gluten-free options are available upon request.
This tour is perfect for families, couples, and groups seeking the best of both worlds—the thrill of whale watching combined with the beauty of Maui snorkeling. Whether you choose the 3.5-hour Pride of Maui trip or the intimate 2.5-hour ‘Elua luxury experience, you’ll create vacation memories that will last a lifetime.
