Pacific Whale Foundation

Explore Maui Nui’s ocean environment with the experts at Pacific Whale Foundation through PacWhale Eco-Adventures top-rated Whalewatches, as well as award-winning snorkel cruises to Molokini & Turtle Arches, Lana'i and Honolua Bay; Dolphin Watch ecotours; Sunset Dinner and Cocktail Cruises; and more, all led by our Certified Marine Naturalists. Pacific Whale Foundation is a nonprofit organization founded in 1980 to protect a declining humpback whale population from global threats, including commercial whaling. Early pioneers in noninvasive whale research, our scientists began offering educational whalewatches on the weekends, after studying whales and their ocean environment during the week. The trips were a means to share our findings, educate the public about whales, and raise needed funds for research and conservation work. That same tradition continues today. Our PacWhale Eco-Adventures cruise operation is 100% owned by the nonprofit Pacific Whale Foundation, as are our retail Ocean Stores. All profits go to supporting Pacific Whale Foundation’s work to protect the ocean through science and advocacy, and to inspire environmental stewardship. Your ticket to adventure on a PacWhale cruise directly funds Research, Education and Conservation programs on behalf of marine wildlife and their ocean home.
