Whale Watching on Maui
Humpback Whale Breaching out of the water Humpback whale watching is a popular in Maui and other Hawaiian Islands. On my first trip to Kauai many years ago I enjoyed sailing the surrounding waters and finding humpback whales. The whales are typically in Hawaii in January through April. This year I investigated some other options. A small speedboat instead of a large sailboat has some obvious advantages. Ultimate Whale Watch company out of Lahaina offers a great whale watching tour. We rode quickly out to sea and found several mothers with calves, groups of males and some loner whales. The photo above shows a distant whale fully breaching. On the left side there is a tour boat. This shows how much larger these whales are compared to the boats. Amazing. Breaching Humpback Whale off coast of Maui
