Hear Maui’s Whales Sing

The Four Winds II has a hydro-phone (a large microphone) on board, which the captain can lower into the water. You will love listening to the songs of Maui’s whales LIVE on board. You can also hear them singing while you are underwater snorkeling or SNUBA diving. 

Maui Whale Marine Naturalists On Board

Four Winds II marine naturalists and crew are fun and engaging and will explain and educate you on Maui’s whales, which are federally protected creatures. Learn interesting facts about the humpback whales, including behaviors, and why the whales migrate to Maui.

Relax On Board

For those who do not wish to get in the water and snorkel, there’s still plenty to enjoy. Explore the glass bottom viewing room and relax on the spacious decks. Our knowledgeable and helpful crew can explain Maui’s surroundings and provide you information on whales and other marine life. You can eat and drink at your own leisure while enjoying the beautiful scenery of Maui’s coastline.

Guests can experience SNUBA, which can make your adventure exceptional.

This is my 2nd trip with the crew of Four Winds Snorkeling. Still a great experience.
I recommend these guys to everyone I know!

Nathaniel P. Seattle WA

This was a great snorkeling experience! The boat was spacious with ample seating options. Best part is we were free to enjoy at our own pace. There was no tour guide shuffling us around from one spot to the next. The boat was clean and well maintained. There were lots of activities for younger ones.
Best part of the trip was how many whales we saw! Highly recommend this snorkeling experience.

Samantha R. Flushing NY

We snorkeled Coral gardens it was very calm and beautiful. We snorkeled for quite some time saw so many fish, and a SEA TURTLE, I literally swam side by side him! I loved every minute of this trip!

Janelle P. San Lorenzo CA

Started out the trip whale watching and we got the chance to see about 4 to 5 pods of whales! It was truly a breathtaking experience to see whales in their natural habitats. We did snorkeling at the coral garden which was just as stunning.
