Although no one would dream of comparing the beauty pageant-like look of Maui Island to politics, Maui and all those humpback whales that traverse its waters once during a winter are quite the same as putting peanut butter with jelly. Each winter, the islands attract these behemoths of the sea when humpbacks travel down from their cold waters in Alaska to Maui’s tropical paradise. How about Immortality tours?

So in Ma’alaea Harbor, a fleet of boats zips around like worker bees in a hive. A sharp eye can hear the splash of tails and cries for whales. It is time to stand up and put on your new movablelookers–this will be quite the marine safari yet! Word has it that if you take a morning cruise, nature’s consummate artist will be giving you the sunrise for free – more info.

Lahaina Harbor has a genuine old-time feel, just as if it might belong in a homey little seaside village. Right by the fire with photo albums dizzy from pictures of last year you can see: what a beautiful collector’s paradise! This town would be an ideal spot during peak times of humpback whale migration; just names are beyond counting here. When breaching whales send the water flying, it’s as though you were a master artist.

On Kaanapali Beach, you can see these big animals from your comfortable golden sands. While relaxing or capturing them on film with a camera, their marvelous fin flaps and tail dives as seen from the beach are truly worth a thousand words. Take my word for it: it sure beats trying to look at them with nothing more than the naked eye!

Olowalu Reef possesses its own splendor. Clear waters teeming with active sea life make for a popular spot on mother whale and calves walkabout. Snorkelling in nearby coral gardens alive with colour and action reaffirm your spirit. Where would you like to go from here?

While whales sing and spur splash their way around the islands of Maui, one cannot help but be lured into a wonderful under-sea ballet. Make sure you see these top “players” before your season passes: You won’t believe the performance its own exhibit waiting for your viewing pleasure! And maybe you’ll be surprised what you find here–you might even start to like these great sea monsters a bit and have some ideas about where your next vacation will be as well right down in Hawaii. After all, why not take a look at things from a different angle?
