10 Best Adventures in Maui: Hikes, Snorkeling & More | Condé Nast Traveler

"Don't be fooled by the fact that this tour meets under a tree directly on Ka'anapli Beach . The pros at Trilogy Excursions have whale-watching down to a science. After a slightly wet on-loading of the catamaran directly from the beach, the onboard experience begin with passed snacks and sandwiches, then continues with a group of naturalists who share interesting facts about humpback whales. When the marine mammals are in season (roughly mid-December to mid-April), this area is one of the best places in the world to spot them." - Todd Plummer
