No boat has a better view of whales than the triple-decker catamaran Calypso. The newest and most-advanced whale watching boat on Maui. Come join the fun and friendly captain and crew aboard the Calypso for this 2-hour whale watch cruise along the Pali coast of Maui. Admire the whales from the surface or go down to the underwater viewing room whenever the boat makes a stop. If the whales choose to swim beneath the vessel, you’ll be able to see them through the glass panels in the bottom of the hull. Your driver/guide will tell you some of the more popular moves that whales engage in. Enjoy comfortable seating throughout and take advantage of the bar and snack area aboard. December 16, 2021 - April 17, 2023.

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!

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.

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!

The whalewatching was great--the captian found a few different groups of whales to watch and positioned us well, which is ideal as far as I'm concerned. This was also a good deal--lots of the cruises charge twice as much with the difference being an open bar--not worth it!

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.

The crew was 5-star, with awesome customer service, and the narration educating us about the whales was super cool. And inexpensive, tasty cocktails were a treat!
We had booked this tour because we saw so many whales from shore a couple days before, and figured we'd see them a bit closer on a tour on the water.
The weather wasn't very cooperative the day we went, so not sure how viewing would be when a bit calmer. But besides one playful breaching calf, many of the views of the adult whale activity were pretty distant (should have brought our binoculars).
I was really hoping to see an adult breach a little closer. Unfortunately, perhaps because of the access due to waves, or the whales' behavior, who knows, we didn't see much closer than from shore. I realize the crew can't control these things.
We enjoyed the tour regardless, with views of shore, narration etc. and as far as customer service and professionalism, this tour was top-notch.
