These gentle giants come to the warm, calm waters of Hawaii to court, mate and bear their young. Maui county has the largest concentrations of whales during the November to April season, so whale watching is especially good here. Some tour companies specialize in touring around these creatures, some companies offering all the 'creature comforts' of a large ship to others with a more exciting perspective, such as from a single-person kayak. Whatever your speed there's a whale watch suitable for you. If you happen to be staying on Maui in the winter then you'll have a chance to get a look at one of these creatures.
Whale watching on Maui is seasonal.
The Humpback whales begin to appear as early as November and will often stay until past April. Their behavior changes a bit over the course of several months that they're here. Going on a good whale watch can be very rewarding. There are even encounters where a whale has stayed with a boat or group of people for hours. To get the most out of a whale watch consider an organized tour with one of these agencies.
