Guidekin's take

Look for humpback whales off Lahaina in a small shared group capped at six, with marine naturalist talks, drinking water and reef safe sunscreen included.

Children under four cannot join, and hotel transport is not included. 4.9 from 51 reviews at €161 per person for 2h.

In our comparison: #12 of 28 in Whale Watching Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
