Imagine yourself on a boat experiencing seawater spray on your face. The air buzzes with enthusiasm. Everyone in wonder as a humpback whale leaps suddenly. Welcome to  Dive Maui amazing universe of whale viewing.

From December to April, Maui’s seas become a haven for whales, following their annual mating and tending to their young. The activity is erratic; quiet waters can suddenly become alive.

Paddling a kayak from Kaanapali Beach is best. You will never forget the adventure you are experiencing sharing the water with a curious whale!

Lahaina Harbor provides a range of boat trips just waiting for discovery. Certain trips even include hydrophones, allowing you to listen to the underwater symphonies of the whales—a wonderful sonic treat.

McGregor Point Lookout is great for people who would rather remain on land. With binoculars in hand, you might find surprise tail waves from the coast.

Early risers might find peace and breathtaking sunrises on morning trips. It’s like entering a masterfully created painting by nature. Once a friend described it as “nature’s symphony.” Not easy to dispute with that!

If you prefer nights, sunset rides offer amazing views with whales silhouetted against vivid, brilliant sky—like living art.

Afraid of motion sickness? One can help with ginger candies and chic wristbands. Ever prepared, I knew someone who always carried ginger tea in a thermos!

Onboard, there is an electrifying hum. Eyes fly over the horizon until—there! There looks to be a whale. Cameras capture, exclamations resound, and momentarily nothing else existed.

Although you have been touched by magic, stepping back onto land seems grounded. Seeing these amazing animals interacts with your spirit, not only provides a visual feast. Every interaction in Maui leaves a memory that lasts much beyond the trip.

Thus, stop the regular schedule the next time you are in Maui and explore the unique world of whale viewing. This is an event that will make your heart warm and keep you smiling for a very long period.
