Whalewatch • Ma’alaea
This relaxing cruise aboard Maui’s newest luxury sailing catamaran, Ocean Spirit t is a state-of-the-art sailing catamaran offering luxury, space and comfort for a maximum capacity of 55 passengers.
This Whalewatch Sail is led by Certified Marine Naturalists for fun and informative interpretation of humpback whale behaviors and characteristics. It’s the perfect way to experience the essence of hoʻokipa (hospitality), while your crew provides up-to-date education and interesting facts about the incredible Humpback Whales and how to help them survive and thrive.
If weather conditions permit, the team will drop an underwater microphone to allow guests to hear the humpback whales sing, the perfect addition to your sailing adventure. The Captain will sail when possible, depending on weather conditions or whale activity and may need to use the engines for the safety of the animals, in accordance with the “Be Whale Aware” policies for safe and sustainable humpback whale viewing.
**Whale sightings are guaranteed or go again free on another whalewatch of equal or lesser value within one year. Pacwhale Eco- Adventures are proud of their 97% sighting success rate.
