WANT TO HELP A LAHAINA FIRE SURVIVOR?
The effects of the Lahaina Fire are still felt deeply by this community. We have found, and continue to find, that the ocean is an incredibly healing place to be. Many people ask us “what can we do?” and there are lots of answers. We wanted to provide another answer: you can sponsor a Lahaina fire survivor’s seat on one of our whale watches. Giving the gift of this incredible experience on the ocean can be a boon to many who are continuing to strive to find joy. We continue to be grateful in our own recovery process, and want to be part of the recovery of others in our community. You can sponsor an entire ticket price, or part of a ticket and contribute alongside others to provide this experience. Whatever you are able to do, we thank you!

What Our Whale Watchers Say About Us
We had the best time whale watching with this new company run by two amazing local women. They lost their business in the Lahaina fires and were actually first responders rescuing people during the disaster. Now they’ve started fresh with this gorgeous pink boat they remodeled themselves, and you can really tell how much heart and effort they’ve put into it.

Our first whale watch of the season, absolutely amazing! The crew was great and just a beautiful day on the water! For going out 20+ years from Lahaina harbor, it is just a blessing to be with such great company to make us feel at home.

Great whale watch and the staff was entertaining and funny!! The boat is nice cause it’s a bit smaller and can zip zip across the ocean. The whale’s performance was amazing!! Thank you Maui Ocean Adventures for an epic once in a lifetime experience!! Well done!!

Amazing staff and boat was in great condition too. I felt safe and got lots of great info from the crew who seemed to love the whales just as much as the rest of us. 10/10 must try if you are in the area — can’t wait to come back! Thanks guys

Sunrise was a beautiful time to witness these creatures move through the water as a new day begins. The whales seemed to love the boat and their awesome crew made the experience extra special. Thank you!!

We had a wonderful time on this whale-watching tour. Their knowledgeable guide made the experience even better. The boat was comfortable and well-equipped. The smaller boat made it more intimate and offered an eye level encounter with the whales. It is amazing to be in such close proximity to these majestic whales.
