Maui Whale Watching and Ocean Tours

Throughout the winter months, the waters around Maui are home to the majestic humpback whale. Our journey takes us right through the waters of the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary, which was designated because this area is an important mating and calving ground for the endangered humpbacks.

Maui Whale Watching and Ocean Tours

Trilogy Excursions - Now I realize that being the oldest sailing company on Maui (since 1973) doesn't automatically make us the best. Or the fact that Trilogy was the first activity company in Hawaii to receive the coveted Pookela Award for customer service (1999). And, even though an independent survey of over 11,000 Maui visitors (Maui's Top 10) chose Trilogy the #1 sailing company and the #1 Activity on Maui, we still feel it is important to earn our reputation the old fashion way - one guest at a time! Our goal is to make you feel like family. Perhaps that's why so many of our guests return year after year. I guess you could say that sailing with us is like coming home!

Pride of Maui - The Pride of Maui is famous for it's stability and speed. She has been servicing Maui residents and locals for over 8 years! The average trip to Molokini only takes about 45 minutes, which allows for more fun time in the water and TWO destinations. Cruise to our premiere destinations in style and comfort; unlike a lot of other vessels, you can freely walk around and enjoy the scenery. Our two premiere Maui destinations are Molokini and Turtle Town.

Pacific Whale Foundation - A pioneer in whale research and the first organization to offer educational whalewatches on Maui, Pacific Whale Foundation is proud to offer Maui’s top-rated humpback whalewatch, based on our 24 years of work in saving whales from extinction.
