What To Expect
Kayaking with the humpback whales in Maui is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that should be at the top of any nature lover's bucket list. Imagine paddling your kayak through the crystal-clear waters off the cost of Maui, surrounded by the stunning natural beauty of the island, while majestic humpback whales gracefully surface nearby.
From mid-December to end of March every year, Maui becomes a prime location for humpback whale watching as these gentle giants migrate from Alaska to the warm waters of the Hawaiian Islands. Tropical Guides & Outfitters offer kayaking experiences that take visitors to area where humpback whales are often seen, bringing you up close and personal with these magnificent creatures in a non-invasive way.

The only prerequisite is a healthy spirit of curiosity and adventure.
Regardless of age or skill level you will find that our expeditions offer enough flexibility to make your experience with us safe and rewarding. We will show you proper sea kayaking technique and water safety before leaving the beach. And your expert guides will be with you throughout the adventure to give you pointers and improve your skills.
