Our Keiki Whalewatch program provides an opportunity for local schoolchildren from pre-K to high school to learn about our oceans by getting a closer look at the whales and other marine animals that exist in their own backyard. For many participants, it is their first time seeing a humpback whale from the more intimate perspective of a boat, which increases their personal connection to these majestic animals we are dedicated to protecting.

Through our social enterprise, PacWhale Eco-Adventures, Pacific Whale Foundation offers Keiki Whalewatch from January through April and includes a customized whalewatch ecotour and an optional classroom program presented at no additional charge with standards-based, grade-level appropriate, hands-on activities for the students.  

 

 

Registration fees for Keiki Whalewatch are $8 per student and $15 per adult chaperone with no charge for the classroom teacher and/or EA. Program costs are heavily subsidized by the support of Pacific Whale Foundation members and generous donors. Our goal is to make this program accessible to all Maui County students. 

Since its inception, Keiki Whalewatch has introduced over 20,000 students to the wonders of whalewatching.  

2020 Keiki Whalewatch schedule coming soon. To be notified when dates are available, please e-mail [email protected].
