This is an intimate, owner-operated expedition led by a guide with over 10+ years of experience on Maui waters. Unlike the large harbor boats with huge crowds, our kayaks allow us to spend time with the whales without the loud motor sound-allowing us to hear the rhythmic breathing of the whales and the mesmerizing whale song that you just can't get on a larger boat.
Experiencing these gentle giants at water level is a total game-changer. There is nothing like the experience of being right next to a whale just inches above the waterline. It makes the encounter feel incredibly personal and puts the true scale of these creatures into perspective. This ensures a five-star, intimate journey that you just can't get on larger boats.
As we transition to the shoreline to visit a turtle cleaning station you will swim alongside Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles (Honu) and explore the volcanic coral reefs of South Maui. You stay present in the magic; I'll handle the rest.

What to expect
With over 10+ years of experience guiding Maui waters, I lead you personally into whale territory using high performance sit-on-top ocean kayaks. This is a calm sensory experience: where we listen for the rhythmic sound of a whale spouting and observe their natural behaviors-whether it's the quiet bond of a mom and calf, the energy of a competition pod, or the mesmerizing song of a "singer." Being at water level with these gentle giants is a truly magical experience that stays with you long after your experience.
After observing the whales, we transition back to the shoreline to snorkel in the peaceful, calm waters of a turtle cleaning station. Here you will glide alongside Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles (Honu) and explore the vibrant coral reefs.
You stay present in the magic; I'll handle the rest. As your personal photographer. I'll capture high-resolution photos of your entire experience and deliver them for free.
