compare on Maui versus the other Hawaiian Islands?
Maui is considered one of the world’s top whalewatch spots, famous for the proximity of whales to its shoreline and the large number of whales found here. Warm sunny weather, great visibility, and clear ocean waters add up to excellent conditions for whalewatching. More than 3,500 humpback whales come to Hawaii each winter to mate and give birth, making our state the nation’s primary mating and calving ground for these endangered animals. Maui is where most of these whales are found. They are attracted to the shallow seas off Maui’s south and western shores, the relative lack of predators and the warm water temperature.
