Experience the awe-inspiring behaviors of the Humpback whales on this incredible whale watching adventure
Come aboard the Calypso a power catamaran with three decks each providing excellent vantage points for viewing the Humpback whales. Whether you are seated outside on the upper decks or inside the shaded cabin all feel like front row seats. Our Captain will provide an expert narrative of the Humpback whale's historical significance in Maui waters and "play-by-play" commentary of the incredible whale behaviors as you view them.
Have your cameras ready to capture these majestic creatures blowing huge sprays into the air, slapping their fins and tails, spy hopping, and the awe-inspiring breach. This is when a whale the size of a school bus launches its body clear out of the water and crashes down creating huge splashes that can be seen from great distances. You can even listen to the magical whale songs when our crew lowers the hydrophone an underwater microphone into the water below.
