Passengers receive a color "Guide to Watching Hawaii's Humpback Whales" and a coupon for a free marine art poster, redeemable in our retail stores.

Maui is Humpback Whale Wonderland!

Maui is known as one of the world's great whale watch meccas. While you can see toothed whales and dolphins off Maui's shores year-round, we are famous for the majestic humpback whales that migrate here each winter and spring.

Humpback whales come to Maui in large numbers to mate, give birth and care for their young. Their dramatic reproductive behavior, mating competition among the males and underwater singing are fascinating to see and hear - especially from the deck of a boat.

Whale Watch Cruise Includes:

• Premium Hoku Elima (five-star) service
• Expert narration by Pacific Whale Foundation's certified Marine Naturalists
• Ice-cold refreshments for $1; beer, wine and Mai Tais for $2
