Come winter, thousands of whales will migrate to their ancient haunts around Hawaii to mate, calve and nurture offspring. Since Hawaii has become a vacation destination, the whales that inhabit the waters around our islands have excited and delighted millions of visitors from all parts of the world with acrobatic breaches and side splashes in the ocean. Whale watching season lasts from November-December through May of the following year. Nature lovers and adventurous folk will not want to miss out on this mind-blowing action, so if you're considering a Maui vacation at our Royal Lahaina Resort, consider coming down during the season when you can see these magnificent creatures with your own eyes.
Maui is one of the best whale watching locations in the Pacific. If you reserve an ocean-front room at our Resort, you can even get a pair of binoculars and track and watch humpbacks breach the surface right from your room's private "lanai" (Hawaiian-style patio/balcony)!
If you crave a more intimate experience, you can either rent a boat yourself or go on a whale-watching tour as part of a group, the advantage of the latter being that tour guides know the best times and spots to get up close with the creatures.
Knowledgeable Maui whale watching tour organizers and guides have a great deal of respect for the whales; when you're on a whale-watching outing, listen to their instructions and treat the whales - especially smaller ones - in a way that respects their space and doesn't cause them needless stress or confusion.
Depending on the species, whales surface to breathe every 7 to 20 minutes, and their respiration launches sea water in spouts of up to 21 feet tall. This is incredibly exciting to watch up close and in person - a real, living geyser right in the middle of the sea!
Some of the different species of whale that make the waters around Hawaii their home for the winter season are humpback whales, sperm whales, pygmy whales, pilot whales, orcas and others.
They display a range of interesting behaviors, from leaps and side-splashes to observation behaviors such as poking their heads above water and floating vertically. One can only imagine what goes through the mind of a whale when it sees a boat full of excited people pointing at it and squealing with delight... but given their natural intelligence and curiosity, chances are good that they are also highly entertained by this experience.
If you are interested in going whale watching during your Maui family vacation, come to the Royal Lahaina Resort website and book yourself a stay during the prime whale-watching season today!
