Maui is the place to see humpback whales. Each year these magnificent creatures migrate south from Alaska, and although you can see them throughout Hawaii, the ‘Au ‘au channel off the coast of Maui boasts the greatest number. Our warm, relatively shallow and protected waters make an ideal location for the humpbacks to mate and give birth to their calves. These whales are often seen fully breaching out of the ocean!

ʻAuʻau Channel
Experience world-class whale watching directly off the coast of Lahaina in the world-famous ʻAuʻau Channel. Shielded by surrounding islands, these calm, shallow waters create a warm, protected sanctuary completely free from large ocean predators. It is recognized as America's absolute densest winter nursery for humpback whales. On this tour, you will cruise through these legally protected national marine sanctuary waters to witness mother whales nursing, protecting, and teaching their newborn calves. Keep your eyes on the horizon to watch mothers demonstrating spectacular full-body breaches, teaching calves how to slap their pectoral fins, and guiding them through their very first shallow dives in West Maui's legendary whale playground.
