West Maui Whale
Watch & Snorkel
West Maui Whale Watch & Snorkel by Kayak
A Must-Do Whale Watch & Snorkeling Experience in Maui!During whale season, our Turtle Reef Discovery activity becomes our Whale Watch tour! This is a really inspiring trip! There is nothing like viewing a Humpback Whale from ocean level in a kayak, it’s a breathtaking experience! Whales seem to appreciate the quietness of a kayak compared to a boat and they tend to approach us more. (Of course, we don’t approach them, they approach us!!).
This is one of our more popular trips during whale season and we’ll make sure to sneak in some snorkeling time with the sea turtles.

Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely. If you have gear that is comfortable, please bring it – no sense in fitting another set that may not be as comfortable for you.
Maui has an abundance of sunshine year round. The only thing that keeps us on shore is strong winds or big surf. It’s all an adventure!
All kayaks used are the sit on top variety. There are stable which makes them perfect for snorkeling – easy to get in and out. We have singles and double kayaks available. Cockpit boats, or sit inside kayaks are not used here on Maui commercially.
The early morning provides the best conditions of the day – calm waters, sunny skies, active reef life and the sun warms instead of burns.
We do have a limited amount of RX lenses. Please ask about this when you reserve your tour.
While we don’t have a hard and fast rule, we tend to cap our tours at ten guests. This being said, many people are mixed up on days and arrive for their tour on the wrong day or even the wrong location. We understand and will do our best to accommodate. Your on vacation, we understand.
