Every boat on this list runs Maui’s humpback season, December through April, when thousands of whales pack the shallow Auau Channel. Mothers park their calves in that calm water between Maui, Lanai and Molokai. Captains hold 100 yards back by law, but curious whales break that rule all the time.
Experience the thrill of eye-level whale watching on an eco-raft tour from Lahaina, Maui. Get up close and personal with these majestic creatures.
