Captain and crew were fabulous. Took our tour right into a pod of whales that circled the boat for about 50 minutes. Multiple times the whales were right next to the boat (amazed they didn't jump into the boat). Observed several breaches; multiple fin flaps, fluke flaps, swimming along side the boat. Also observed other whales with calves a few hundred yards off the boat. Captain provided a narrative about the whales; where they migrated from, distances traveled, channel depths... Totally worth doing during whale migration!

Saw whales even very late in the season (April 24th)! The boat was large and comfortable. Snacks and drinks available for purchase at a reasonable price!

Wow! We can't believe there are still whales! It sounds like you scored on your whale watch cruise aboard Calypso. We were happy to bring you up close to some of Maui's most beautiful marine life! Aloha.

We had a great time! We saw whales, the crew was fun and the views were a bonus. Thank you so much! I would definitely do this again :)
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Yes! The whale watch tour aboard Calypso is the best vacation activity on Maui. Please do join us again!

The wind was really blowing hard that week making the waters choppy. The boat captain did a great job navigating. The boat was great with plenty of seat in the sun and shade. We didn’t see much as the season was basically over but we did see 1-2 whales splash and blow. I will always remember this trip fondly.

Be prepared for the Maui wind. But what a wonderful time seeing these magnificent creatures! Be patient and stay camera ready.

The whales coming right up to the vessel. And bringing us to the spots to be found.
The crew did an excellent job.
Response from Host, Feb 2024
This sounds fantastic! Thank you for this fantastic review of your whale watching tour aboard Calypso.
Matthew_P, Jan 2024
We saw plenty of whales right after we left the harbor. During our two hours we had constant sighting with some being very close and easy to see. We witnessed several breaches. The crew was great and the boat was in very good shape. Not only did you get whale watching, but a very nice view of the island. Worth it.
Response from Host, Jan 2024

Windiest tour ever! I thought we wouldn't go out, but we did and it was fantastic!! It startet with a seaturtle in the harbour - nice. We headed through breathtaking wind to Waleia/Makena. The waves were white on top so it was difficult to discover whales. We saw some backs but nothing exciting - until suddenly a mother with her baby and to males chasing them were circelling around the Calypso. It was amazing to see this big creatures! We were overwhelmed. As this was not enough, many spinner dolphins escorted our boat on our way back to the harbour!
Response from Host, Feb 2023
That's a lot of marine life for one whale watch tour aboard the Calypso! Thank you for sharing your experience.
Petra_S, Feb 2023
The tour was great. I saw a lot of whales, they came near the Calypso. Captain Greg and his crew were very nice and funny.
Response from Host, Feb 2023
The Calypso crew is the best! We are so happy you saw lots of whales aboard the Maui whale watch tour.
