🐋 Calypso – Maui Whale Watch Cruise
Experience a Maui whale watch cruise on board the Calypso, Maui's only catamaran with three decks for the best all-around views of the humpback whales. All of Calypso's 360-degree ocean views are fintastic! The first and second decks have spacious cabins with tinted windows, making for excellent viewing through the water's surface, regardless of the sun's glare.
As soon as the boat departs Maalaea Harbor, keep your eyes peeled for any big motion on the surface, especially large clouds of misty spray in the distance. No matter what is going on out there, the Calypso whale watch naturalist will give you an exciting play-by-play and commentary on the whales' behavior.
While the boat is stopped for a while, you can go down to the underwater viewing room. 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. This rare glass-bottomed seating area is one of the most awesome things about the Calypso and makes it a standout among Maui whale-watching boats.
