Captain Brandon and his crew: Renee, Carl, Glen, and Jess were wonderful hosts. Informative and funny. We knew it was going to be a good day when we saw a momma and her baby right out of the harbor. We were fortunate to see 64 whales. We even celebrated the Captain’s mom’s birthday and another passenger’s birthday and ended the tour with a happy birthday song This was our 3rd whale watching tour and it was the best. The catamaran was awesome and everyone had a great view. We would highly recommend the Mākena Coast Charters - the Winona and this crew.
This whale watching trip was absolutely stunning! I had booked one and ended up going on three. Each one was different - although I always went at 7am. We saw baby whales breaching, observed a mama and baby pair very close to the raft (baby even swam almost under the boat!), listened to whale songs on the hydrophones. On my last trip we saw a large competition pod of about 15 males - circling the raft and swimming right under it! You know that it’s special when the crew takes pictures… I really appreciated the rafts coming close to the whales while fully respecting the necessary distances. How the crew managed to find such great opportunities for watching was impressive! I went with Kahi and Ari, Kahi and Kelly and Zach and Mackenna. All those teams were great! Very informative about the whales, great boating and lots of fun. Fully recommend going out with them!
Had a great time snorkeling at Molokini and the whale watching was awesome. Joe and Jess were great! They knew where the best places to snorkel and their knowledge of whales was amazing. It helped that Jess was a marine biologist. We will use them again when back in Maui.
We went whale watching in the afternoon on March 13 and saw so many mom/baby calves! Also got to see like 4 breaches & so close to our boat! We saw whales continuously for two hours! Def would recommend pac whale tour!
One of the best Whale watching trips we have been on!!! We have gone on a number of "larger" boats that were really fun, but nowhere near this type of experience. The boat is by far the quickest, with the most fun crew and got us right up into the whale action!!!
Thank you to Maui Reef Adventures for an awesome trip!!!
A fantastic experience that gave us everything we wanted. We saw plenty of whales that was followed by information about their behavior. We used a lot of what we learned when we saw whales later on our trip. The crew was friendly and helped make the experience relaxing and stress-free. We had a 5-year-old who was a bit nervous about snorkeling and the team really put her at ease. They gave her a boogie-board with a window to see the fish. The food is an excellent value, and drinks added to the fun. The whole trip was exactly what we hoped for.
We had a wonderful time on the trip to our molokini snorkel trip. We saw whales in the distance. It started out very windy and cold but the sun came out and made the water bearable. My family was there to memorialize my husband who passed away year ago on that date. While one our way back to the harbor, we had a moment on the side of the boat and the captain played my husband’s favorite song. No one knew but us, and it was meaningful! A moment we will never forget! Thank you FourWinds II.
We have done whale watching tours with Makai for several years. They are wonderful to deal with. Local family business with great service. They are our go to every time we are in Maui (every year). Highly recommend!!!
This is one of the best ways to see the Whales! We thoroughly enjoyed our day with the crew. I would recommend this company to anyone. The staff and the crew and owners are amazing people on time, very considerate, and very knowledgeable about the whales in the surrounding area of Maui. We saw so many whales ! Mamas ,escorts, and babies today it was absolutely stunning! Thanks for having us again, Austin! Mahalo, DD
Our snorkeling trip was amazing! Friendly, inviting and attentive staff. Captain Spence, Dani, and Sunday did an amazing job throughout our trip. Great snorkeling, awesome whale watching, and beautiful Maui experience. We highly recommend this trip and boat. This was our second time on this boat, and we’d do it again and again! We had 39 people in our trip-the perfect size!
Fantastic trip. We did it once on Wednesday and liked it so much we immediately booked again to do twice during our week on the island. Terrific captains. Knowledgeable and fun. Great to feel closer to the whales vs being on the larger catamarans.
