About Us
We are a different type of operation. PacWhale Eco-Adventures is a mission-based organization with 40+ years of experience, led by people who are passionate about the ocean and protecting this amazing resource. Every experience is led by or certified Marine Naturalists who will not only deliver an amazing experience, but they will also provide you with a greater understanding and appreciation for what you are experiencing.
We are a proud member of the Hawaii Ecotourism Associate and a Certified Sustainable Tour Operator. From following strict wildlife viewing guidelines to suing reusable or compostable plates, cups and utensils – we work to ensure operations are as environmentally friendly as possible.
That commitment extends to our vessels, which feature SmoothCat technology for an ultra-comfortable ride and run on energy-efficient, low-emission engines. We are also transitioning our vessels to run on 100% Pacific Biodiesel fuel, a much cleaner-burning fuel that is free of fossil fuels. Moreover, we developed and outfitted all vessels with Whale Protection Devices, the first in the nation for commercial vessels that guide whales away from propellors and running gear.
Charter Options
We serve sustainably produced, locally sourced food from award-winning Three’s Catering, including Maui Cattle Company beef, O’o and Kumu Farms produce, and only sustainably sourced seafood. From delicious, freshly prepared and grilled BBQ lunch ti sunset Pupu, or a five-course dinner, we are dedicated to delivering quality menus tailored to your needs.
We feature a broad variety of alcoholic drinks including locally made Maui Brewing Co. Beer and Ocean Vodka. We also have gin, rum, tequila and wine. If you have particular brands of alcohol that you would like for your group, we can easily accommodate your requests.
