Excellent whalewatch experience

We were lucky enough to be in Maui during mid-January when there are whales aplenty. Our captain did a great job finding whales engaging in surface behaviors. Lauren, our naturalist, was excellent; she provided lots of information and was very engaging. The rest of the staff took very good care of us. Because our trip was during Covid, capacity on the boat was low, we had a great spot to view the action.

Whalewatch Perfection

This organization is fantastic and the tour was absolutely the best we've been on. We have been on whale watching excursions before so we know what we are talking about. Captain did a great job maneuvering the boat so everyone could experience the whales while the crew made every minute educational and entertaining. We will go again this year with PacWhale.
