We went in February of 2020. Did the ultimate whale watching tour on the small yellow raft type. It was hands down the most amazing experience we had during our trip. Thanks for the info. Also take time to just pull over and watch the whales from the beaches. Great time love it. Hoping the COVID stuff is done for our trip in February of 2021.

Thanks for watching! We are excited about another whale season. I agree, just hanging out at the beach to watch them is exhilarating. Snorkeling to hear them underwater is magical. See you in 2021!

Another tip, take some Dramamine 1 hour prior to tour reservation. Last thing you want is to miss the whales due to puking in a bucket.

We are coming back in 20 days, but who’s counting 😁! I think we’re going to choose the Ultimate Whale Watch, if our timid 19-year old daughter agrees to go on a raft.

So excited I just came upon this video. Just booked a trip to Maui and staying in Kihei in mid-late Feb. I had no idea it was even prime whale season until someone mentioned it. It's on my bucket list so I teared up a little watching this video. I think the raft is the way to go. Thanks for the informative video and I will be checking out more videos on things to do. As this will be our second trip to Maui, we are trying different things and trying to get off the beaten path a bit.

That's so tricky. When we travel, we usually trade-off (one person goes on the adventure and one person sticks with Henry). When we can, we'll get a sitter. Since we live on Maui we have some great, regular sitters we use. There are sitters that cater to people on vacation and a hotel can usually help recommend someone.

Maui companies usually open tours December 1st. It depends when the whales arrive. Get there and see if tours have started. I bet they will.

First, thanks a lot for all the content you are sharing, this is incredibly helpful. I have a question which might be stupid, but is there any chance to see whales in Hawaï outside the regular season - like during the summer (especially in August)?
@TheHawaiiVacationGuide
3 жыл бұрын
thanks for watching! Rare to no chance on seeing a humpback whale outside of the migratory season. They migrate down from Alaskan waters to breed, birth, and nurse and then they go home. You may see a non-humpback whale but they are very rare sightings.

My husband and I are planning a trip to Maui for February. We have recently found your channel and love you guys. The videos are so informative thank you so much! I do have a question though. We chose February because we’d like to whale watch; however, we also want to get the most out of snorkeling as well. If we visit in February will we be able to snorkel? Will we get to see a lot of wildlife while snorkeling or should we visit for whale watching in February and then visit another time for snorkeling? Help lol

It might not be. Plenty of whales around in early December and whale watches can be booked. Official season is 15-Dec as that is when thrill craft boats are banned in the channel but whales don’t care about the official season.
