Wow! Maui, where medicure good for well-off families (though there is no house medicine in the place).But if you’ve never seen a humpback with nothing showing but its immense flippers thrust itself out of the ocean: by itself that should persuade somebody to come over here-then I don’t know what will. Featuring one of these acrobats, all this huge strength lying under the water and then entire sea splashes up toward you! It needs to be seen to be believed – go here.

So when should you go whale-watching? From December to April, according to the calendar chart, is the season of over at Maui. That’s their vacation time, so to speak they ‘re Filipinos; they breed, bear young here and put on shows of all styles at once. Come at the right time and you might just catch a baby calf learning to row with its flippers. How awkwardly cute!

Leyfen Tours people tell very seriously us are just like entering a boat in winter in Xi’an or Harbin. One can choose from many kinds of tour here. There is a mighty little homey boat carrying the whole family that sails here. And then there are luxury catamarans as rich and handsome S ever there was, where a million-odd tons a minute charge every breath taken the whole crew. If Jane Austen were living today, she would perhaps write about love adventures at sea and on large luxury vessels…

If you prefer to stay on terra firma, then make your way to McGregor Point Lookout. Stand there with binoculars: if you look closely enough, you canactually see the sea spray giving evidence of these gentle giants. Or perhaps a really awkward wave.

I had a talk with an old sea dog one time and he told me about how the whales would have “tail-throw contest” s. Now I don’t know if that’s an official contest, but they sure put out big souvenirs for those that make waves. Think of all the energy there is on the backstage before a rock concert and crank up a million watts! Whales are like rock stars, playing do they-ever!

There’s no need to wait for the boats. If you’re feeling a bit adventurous, climb into a kayak. Don’t forget to paddle for all you’re worth: the deep blue waits for no man. Just be prepared for the next postcard opportunity a moment later-then a whale decides your kayak is teaching him permanency! Oh yes and don’t forget to shout ‘Bravo!’

This is a taste of the magic of whale watching on Maui, that can’t really be described in words. It’s a story that waits to happen, the excitement to have seen these old sea monsters rise or jig with their chomping tails; you see the song of whales perched beneath the waves singing roughhewn dirges at sea, on videos. Here, you are a participant and not an observer: the sea’s heart beats with all your senses. So come equipped with curiosity, imagination as well as maybe some pills for seasickness– just in case. Your Maui Adventures Awaits.
