Whale Watching

There isn't much on Maui that we haven't already seen and done, but we still love going there, especially in the winter months because that is when humpback whales migrate to Hawaiʻi to mate and give birth. The Maui Channel - between Maui, Lanaʻi, Molokaʻi, and Kahoʻolawe - is humpback whale central in the winter. You can spot them from shore, but to get a good look, one must go out into the channel.

We took a two hour tour with the Pacific Whale Foundation into the channel on Sunday afternoon. Even though we have done this several times before, it is still an amazing experience watching the whales surfacing, diving, and doing pec slaps, tail slaps, spy hops, and breaches. The Pacific Whale Foundation hires marine biologists as guides, so the tours are very informative.
