Another sunrise in paradise. We boarded a boat to do a whale watching tour for our last day in Maui. Humpbacks come to the warm waters of Hawaii to give birth in the winter. Thousands of whales migrate here to birth, nurse their calves and mate. They would lower a microphone into the ocean to hear the singing and calls, but it was audible above shore as well. You can often see them breaching in the distance just from the beach.
They estimate that more than 10,000 whales go to the Hawaiian waters from November to April and then travel back to the icy waters of Alaska to summer and feed.
Amazing!
The Hilton beach club was a great place for us to stay in Kihei. It was very central. We got a pass for the day so we could spend some time relaxing before our 10 pm flight out.
