Overview

Get up close to the magic of Maui’s humpback whales in the most unforgettable way — both from a scenic view and from the sky. This experience combines a *whale-watching adventure with a professional drone photo + video shoot to capture your day from an epic perspective.

Join a fun, knowledgeable local guide for a trip along Maui’s coastline where thousands of humpbacks migrate every winter to mate, give birth, and nurture their young. Feel the excitement as whales breach, slap their tails, and surface — and watch breathtaking whale interactions from above with **aerial drone footage when conditions allow.

This isn’t your average tour. You’ll walk away with cinematic memories you can relive forever.

* - We will be whale watching from a scenic viewpoint along a cliff side NOT on a boat.

** - As whales are wild animals, we cannot guarantee viewing of whale's with the drone, but we will when possible.

  • Drone photos & videos of your group

    Activity name

    Cool Hawaii wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

    On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

    If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Hawaii over a 12-month period.

    The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
