Whale Magic

Every winter, Maui witnesses a majestic spectacle as humpback whales migrate to its shores to mate, give birth, and nurse their young. From December to May, these gentle giants converge on Maui's oceans, offering breathtaking displays of breaching, tail-slapping, and haunting songs. Did you know that humpback whales travel up to 3,000 miles to reach Maui's warm waters, where they mate and give birth? Newborn calves arrive after a 12-14 month gestation period, weighing around 1.5 tons and measuring 12-15 feet long. Interestingly, humpback whales are known to consume no food during their time in Maui, living off stored fat reserves – equivalent to going without caffeine for months! In fact, if humans went without food like humpbacks do, we'd be equivalent to skipping 400 cups of coffee. It's no wonder that humpback whales choose Maui as part of their annual migratory route! If you find yourself on Maui during whale season, get on a boat! You might have one of the coolest experiences ever and a memory to last a lifetime. Getting "mugged" by curious whales is an unforgettable experience, as they invade your space, seemingly people-watching or trying to communicate with us, perhaps saying thank you for the commercial whaling moratorium in 1986. With Maui's unique geography, shallow waters, and ocean ridges, it's one of the best places to whale watch in the world. Popular spots include Lahaina and Maalaea Harbors, Molokini Crater, and Honolua Bay. Embark on this adventure and create lifelong memories while supporting conservation efforts.
