About Pacific Whale Foundation - Whale Watch Sail Lahaina
Sail from Lahaina with Pacific Whale Foundation on a seasonal whale watch cruise featuring humpback whale viewing, crew narration and West Maui ocean scenery.
Winter brings humpback whales to the waters off West Maui, and Ocean Spirit offers a comfortable way to watch for them along the scenic coastline. Departing from Lahaina Harbor, this modern catamaran carries you into an important seasonal habitat where breaches, tail slaps and other memorable whale behavior may unfold nearby.
Certified marine naturalists lead the experience, sharing expert interpretation of humpback whale behavior, migration and biology based on decades of research and field experience in these waters. Underwater hydrophones may also let you hear the haunting songs of whales beneath the surface, while the onboard Jr. Naturalist program gives younger guests a fun way to learn more about these remarkable animals.
