Hawaii Ocean Project

Summer is right around the corner- the best season for exploring Maui's many beaches. What is your favorite Maui beach?

It's hard to beat Maui in spring!

We have one of the most stable, spacious tour boats on Maui. Join us for a snorkel tour or whale watch!

Humpback whales can grow up to 40 tons. It can be hard to comprehend their immense size- until you see this from the boat!

Whales are hanging around for a few more weeks before they start their 3,000-mile journey back to Alaska. If you're visiting in April, don't miss out on a whale watch with us!

This whale season has been SPECTACULAR! Have you managed to go out with us yet?

Spy Hop: Humpbacks do this to look out over the horizon. Kind of like gophers peeking their heads out of their holes, humpbacks lift their heads out of the water and look around. If you see a humpback doing this, it’s probably looking right back at you!

Our Maui whale watching tour departs two times a day with guaranteed whale sightings on Maui’s most comfortable, stable and spacious whale watching boats!

Happy Aloha Friday! Not sure it gets better than Friday evening on our dinner cruise!

Humpback whale males spread across the North Pacific, while females return to the same feeding and breeding sites each year. Join us while whale season is still here!

Humpbacks are some of the most inquisitive of whales, a feature that made them popular for whale watching tours. Their tendency to approach boats resulted in their numbers dropping massively during whaling days.

Humpback whales make one of the furthest migrations of all mammals. Each year, humpbacks travel to the tropics, a journey that measures almost 10,000 kilometers for some. They demonstrate a fondness for certain breeding grounds, such as the shallow, sheltered waters of Maui.

Humpback whales are the most acrobatic of the large whales. The behavior we see along the Hawaiian Islands mainly concerns male competition, breeding and calf rearing.

If you see a whale tail, it often means they're diving. In summer, humpback whales usually stay under for less than 6 minutes. In winter, humpbacks can stay down for more than 30 minutes.

Humpback whales can be found in all of our oceans. They traveled across our planet likely singing variations of the current whale song for millions of years before we came along.

The sound created by man from large ships, oil exploration, and military exercises impair humpback ability to communicate and navigate. In some cases, loud noise causes serious damage to the structure of their inner ears.
