Review of Maui’s small raft whale and dolphin tour, with eye-level wildlife views, whale songs, practical tips, pricing, and booking advice.

“This was one of my favorite days in hawaii. We saw 27 breaches, including one well that breached at least 10 times. The staff really knows how to find the whales and stick with them. Captain Jack and Meredith were incredibly knowledgeable. I highly recommend this tour especially because you're on a smaller boat at eye level with the water for the best views.”

Review of Maui’s Haleakala sunrise tour, with summit tips, breakfast details, guide feedback, cold-weather advice, price, and booking guidance.

“We had an incredible experience on the Haleakala Volcano Sunrise Tour, thanks largely to our guide, Preston. He’s one of those rare guides who feels completely down-to-earth—no gimmicks, no forced jokes—just a naturally dry, funny personality that kept our whole group smiling even at 2:30 in the morning. What really stood out was how much he cared. Preston made sure everyone was comfortable, prepared, and in the right spot for the best views. He encouraged us to take our time and soak in the whole experience and didn’t rush us one bit. He also shared stories, history, and insights you could only get from someone who genuinely knows and loves…”

Open bar but the drinks were not good. But glad we did it since it was our first time in Hawaii!”

Lots of varying terrain and water crossings. If you're looking for a truly unique experience do THIS!!”
