THAR SHE BLOWS! 

These words have announced whale sightings for centuries, and they still do on the Lani Kai, one of the fastest and most comfortable power catamarans around Maui.

Captain Marc Minkler has over 25 years experience driving boats and following the movements and habits of Humpback Whales in Ma'alaea Bay. He knows where to find them, will tell you all about them and answer your questions. Captain Marc can even identify his favorite returning whales. He is the ultimate local guide when it comes to whales.
