Dining: Popular spots like The Gazebo often have long lines; arrive at opening (7:30 AM) to avoid waiting.
*Whales: Maui whale sighting differs every year. It's lately been as early as September that humpbacks are spotted. It is estimated 12,000 whales migrate to Hawaii, and by the winter season, we are beginning to see more of these numbers arriving on Maui. January is a great time to visit Maui as the warm tropical beaches and whale watching makes for a nice break from the mainland’s snowy weather and busy holiday season.
By February, everywhere you look, you see whales! The majority of the whales that migrate will all be here during this month, making it one of the best months for whale watching in Maui. The time frame for the whale season is December 15th - April 15th. December more whales arrive, and we can spot them, breaching and spouting warm air from their blowholes like puffs of smoke! Sometimes, the light refracts off this puff of air and water, creating a rainbow above the whales blowhole!
Activities:
We are located just minutes from world class golf courses, shopping, and dining. Check out my Guidebook for additional recommendations.
