Fond Farewell to Whale-Watching Season
If you’re planning on spring break in Maui, adding a whale-watching tour to your itinerary should be at the top of the list. Every year, the majestic humpback whales arrive in the warm waters of Maui by the tens of thousands. With the world’s densest humpback whale population, a tour is the perfect way to get up close and personal with these incredible giants. There are several companies in Maui that offer exceptional tours filled with educational tidbits, refreshments, and exciting chances to experience this life-changing wonder. When choosing your tour, it’s important to select a company that prioritizes the health and safety of the animals. One of the best on the island is Pac Whale Eco Tours. Their guides, all certified marine naturalists, provide Hawaii's most innovative and educational whale watch encounters, guaranteeing a fun-filled and eco-friendly experience.
