The moment we left Ka’anapali seemed to belong to a different world? And indeed, I realized later, it does. The coral colors of an endless sunset light covered the water as about half way along National Road No. 30 (the widest straightest national road outside Asia) spread out like an endless ribbon in front of it. This is where you can find Lahaina’s white-sand beautiful beaches, crystal-clear water and alluring sunshine rays, where the trade winds blow gently for most of the year welcoming migratory birds. If you want to watching whale from lahaina, visit Dive Maui for more info.

Lahaina is not only a magnificent paradise for tourists, but also home to the great sea whales. Put yourself in the picture for a second: In sunshine-tinged ocean spouting salt water into fountains which reach far up above its enormous length and mother earth is seat of life…forget the modern city, you are one with NATURE here. It’s like being part of some spectacular show in nature herself, right on Maui’s shining surface

The late afternoon sun warmed our faces, the ocean breeze was cool. Our eyes scanned the horizon in anticipation as the boat cut through the waves. Furthinsuddenly a huge tail waved upward out of water and drove its droplets forward, catching some sunlight on them. SPLASH! How what a performance by a huge whale.

One wouldn’t believe that Mother Nature can sometimes be such an artist. is you ever go on one of these tours, remember one thing: everyone talks about “singing” whales-its just an amazing thing! who knew they had such pipes? You can hear their songs once you’re surrounded by their waters. Its like attending a concert of symphonies as deep and resonating as the sea itself, all underwater with every note that you feel in your bones.

The secret is, unless you’re taking photos or very close, they Gallop right past you in a matter of seconds and are out again soon after. That is why I recommend carrying binoculars and a camera if possible. But don’t shoot the whole way. Some moments in life are best appreciated with bare eyes, simply staring at the view ahead and letting it soak into your soul. When it’s time to take that rare picture however, you’ll find that everyone on Instagram loves a good whale watching shot more than any other kind.

If you are an ocean aficionado in Hawaii’s ‘main island? But concerned over the timing, then rest assured That whale watching season last from December to April. That is when Mother Ocean’s giants make the migration to Maui.

Early morning or late afternoon tours often give best opportunity for scenes of action.

So next time you’re in Maui and wanting something more than the usual suntan, try for these great sea monsters. With not much more than a bit of luck and some patience you can witness a scene that will truly take your breath away. And what makes Lahaina’s ocean front special for them could come alive at the same time. Good whale watching to you!
