Whale Watching Maui

…and we love the ocean

About Us

Dive Maui is a family owned and operated business. We believe people protect what they love. Our mission is to share memorable whale watching tours that inspire our guests to deeply love and cherish the ocean.

Guided by our knowledgeable team, each tour provides guests the opportunity for intimate whale interactions with insightful commentary while emphasizing the importance of protecting the marine environment and its inhabitants.

The wellbeing of the whales is our primary focus. We follow all rules and regulations of Maui’s marine sanctuary and adhere to eco-friendly and culturally sensitive practices to ensure you an unforgettable and educational adventure. Our ocean experiences foster deep connections with nature that, we hope, will inspire our guests to become advocates for the ocean.

Join us at Dive Maui, fall in love with whales, and be part of our mission to protect what we love.

Our Commitment to Sustainability at Dive Maui

At Dive Maui, we constantly strive to “be better” and operate our business as sustainably as possible.

We minimize plastic use, offering water refill stations and paper cups instead of single-use plastic bottles. Our boats are equipped with fuel-efficient engines to cut down on greenhouse emissions. We require guests to use reef-safe sunscreen so that toxic chemicals don’t harm marine life.

We also prioritize the well-being of the whales by ensuring our tours do not overcrowd them and strictly adhere to all regulations and guidelines designed to keep them safe.

If you have any ideas on how we can operate better, please let us know. We are open to learning and improving.
