Amazing!!

Most amazing experience ever! We went at the end of Janurary and the whales were super active. Our tour guide was amazing! I couldn't recommend this excursion more!

We saw multiple cow calf...

We saw multiple cow calf pairs on our trip. A must do experience. Crew was excellent. Might be an issue if you are prone to motion sickness.

Whale watching

It was really great; the crew was very knowledgeable and explained the different whales we were seeing. was able to take us to the exact spots for some great sightings. I would do this tour again; we were at the end of whale season so do recommend doing it earlier in the year to see more whales.

Amazing experience!

The Quicksilver crew was awesome! Despite it being the last day of the season, they were able to locate and follow a whale to get us a few great glimpses. The captain shared a lot of cool whale facts and the views in between whale sightings were absolutely stunning. Would definitely recommend and hope we get to join them again one day!

No Guarantees of Whale sightings

This was a good cruise, everyone had a great time. We went in late April so we didn’t see any whales, we’re told that whale season was over. If you want to see whales on this cruise do it during the season when they are likely to still be in Maui.
