Hawaiian Outrigger Canoe Whale Watch

Hawaiian Outrigger Canoe Whale Watch Experience

The Hawaiian Outrigger Canoe Whale Watch offers an authentic and immersive way to observe humpback whales from Wailea Beach Park, Maui. This tour combines traditional Hawaiian outrigger canoe paddling with cultural education about Polynesian navigation techniques. Departing from Wailea Beach along Maui’s south coast, guests enjoy stunning views of Haleakala, Lana‘i, Molokini, Kaho‘olawe, and the West Maui mountains.

Whale Watching and Marine Life

From November to April, humpback whales travel 3,500 miles from Alaska to mate and give birth in Hawaiian waters. On this tour, you can witness whales spy hopping, tail slapping, fin slapping, and breaching. Besides whales, the waters may reveal turtles (honu), eagle rays (hihimanu), dolphins (nai‘a), and various endemic fish species.
