Pacific Whale Foundation is a not-for-profit foundation dedicated studying and protecting the marine environment. They offer a wider range of tours besides just whale watching, including night time stargazing, land-based tidepool exploration and kids camps. Their boats are large, and they are the largest ocean tour operation on Maui. Tip: You should sail from Ma’alaea if you have the option.

They call it a “glass bottom boat” but it is more like a half submarine (sub on the bottom, boat on the top.)

Good option for younger kids and others who won’t get to snorkel/dive and want to see some of our sea life.
