Pacific Whale Foundation Reviews Around the Web

    We had an absolutely incredible experience on this whale-watching tour! The captain and crew were not only super knowledgeable but also clearly passionate about what they do, which made the trip even more enjoyable. We were lucky enough to see five different whales up close—within a stone’s throw of the boat! The 3-hour tour was the perfect amount of time to maximize our chances of seeing these amazing creatures. I can’t recommend this tour highly enough—it was unforgettable!

    We did an early season whale tour and figured we might miss the whales but would still enjoy the ride. We were able to see the first calf of the season and it's momma... super special. The staff were all marine biologists of some form and we loved getting to ask questions about the local wildlife. Loved watching the flying fish that kept the trip exciting.

    My wife and I took our 3 year old out on a Molokini snorkel trip. The boat was nice and the staff was very helpful and knowledgeable. They were attentive in ever aspect to make the trip very enjoyable. Would highly recommend this trip to anyone looking to get out and see turtles, whales and beautiful reef fish.

    We chose the 9 am whale watching tour on a Wednesday. It was a lovely day with excellent whale watching. January/February is the perfect time to watch whales in this area. The protected ocean between Maui, Lanai, and two other islands is perfect for whale babies to be born and raised in relatively calm pacific waters. PacWhale promised lots of whales and they delivered. Large ones, babies and moms! The Naturalist was excellent in taking and answering questions. Worth every penny! No need to worry about sea sickness in this part of the Pacific. Tranquil seas with only small waves. Would do it again!

    If you want to whale watch, this is your to go spot.

    1. Open and close space in the boat with clear views.
    2. Takes about 2 hours including boarding.
    3. Good guides.
    4. Good views of sea and whales.
    5. Better go in January (as thousands of whales surface for brooding for a season).
    6. We went in December (3rd week), and it wasn’t what we expected. Very less whales as it’s not season or just started.
    7. They provide water in the boats for free.
    8. Pretty clean boat and huge with open upper deck.
