Imagine this: you are on a boat when sunlight dances over the water and then a humpback breaks the calm seas. Fantastic, right? Let’s look at some top locations and advice for a great whale viewing adventure on this gorgeous island. We’ve listed some of Lahaina’s top-rated tours — check this out for more details.
Starting at Kaanapali Beach, its seas are a whale hot location, not just a postcard-perfect coastline. Rent a kayak or paddleboard; you might simply be greeted from whalesides!
Then Lahaina Harbor comes in. Boat trips telling tales of whales jumping abound in this energetic neighborhood. Some even have hydrophones so you may enjoy their melodic tunes. It like peeking behind the curtains!
Time pressed? Stop quickly at McGregor Point Lookout. Pull over, get your binoculars, and then pay close attention. Whales love their surprise visits; this location offers panoramic vistas of ocean meeting sky.
Ever visit the Maui Ocean Center? Though it’s more of a marine life education center than a whale viewing venue, it increases your respect of these monsters. Consider it as the appetiser before the main event.
Would you want mornings or sunsets? While sunset creates a dramatic backdrop, early visits can find calm seas. Keep in mind you should layer. It could be Hawaii, but the early ocean cool has other ideas.
Starting to feel sick on boats? Motion sickness bands or ginger candies really help. Once for “medicinal purposes,” a friend carried along a gingerbread house Was it successful? By lunchtime her gingerbread was a goner!
At last, take some time to unwind even as you are catching those ideal photos. These species’ sheer beauty is quite amazing. So poised to start your next journey? Get your colors and join the whales; they are calling!
