Think of whales first. Maui during whale season then is your pass to the grand theater of nature. Imagine yourself on a boat, the masterpieces of the sun painting on the sea, suddenly you notice a humpback leaping, disturbing the sea’s tranquility. Still racing in the heart. These are some of the greatest sites and tips for a fantastic whale gazing trip on this Hawaiian island. We shared our full experience — view the full post.

 

Kaanapali Beach is top on the list. Not only does this beach have a lovely face; our whale friends find perfect habitat here. Rent a kayak or a paddleboard; these gentle giants are not shy and typically say hello!

Let us now focus on Lahaina Harbor. Boat tours abound, and it is alive with tales of breaching giants. Some boats even have hydrophones so you could enjoy their melodic sounds. Talk about front-row perspective!

Under rigorous deadlines? Visit McGregor Point Lookout located here. Pull aside; grab your binoculars; then, keep your eyes open. Whales love unexpected appearances; this place offers panoramic views where the sea meets blue heavens.

Ever heard of the Maui Ocean Center? Alright, it’s more about marine life education than whale gazing, but believe me, visiting here helps you respect the trip of the humpbacks much more. Think of it as type of pre-show for the actual performance.

Early riser, or a sunset chaser? Although sunset provides a beautiful backdrop, morning trips usually ensure calm waves. Get dressed in layers! Hawaii here; the early ocean’s coolness is irrelevant.

Beginning to feel a bit ill on boats? Motion sickness bands or ginger candy are life savers. Share a close friend’s story here. Once for “medicinal purposes,” she carried a fully built gingerbread house. Results came from it? Let us say by midday her house was history.

At last, stop momentarily even when you are taking those great pictures. The majesty of these creatures is simply breathtaking. What then do you think? All set to dash your next trip? Get your sunnies and track the whales; they are waiting!
