Whales Yet?

Have any whales arrived yet this season? We're staying at the Whaler for 10 days starting Nov 8 & hoping we'll get to see some whales

Yes, there were 2 spotted around Maui in the last couple of days. One in the channel between Maui and Lanai on the west side and one near Maalaea Bay in south Maui. This is only the second sightings of the year. If you get really lucky, you may see one or two.

You just made me VERY happy. My love and I are going to be in Maui December 12-22, and he was all panicked that it was too early for any whale watching. NOT! Of course I know it's not prime time, but I bet we see some!

Don't forget your binoculars and to increase your chances plan at least one boat trip.

Wow, thanks for mentioning binoculars. We may ahve to get some in the area, or rent them, since we reside in Brazil, where such things are super expensive, and will be flying straight through, just changing planes, until we get to Maui.

Thanks for the tip, the binoculars are now in the suitcase. We leave Thurs AM & can't wait to get there!. We're up on the 10th floor of the Whaler overlooking Whalers Village so hopefully it will be a good vantage point for seeing a whale or 2!

Good luck red0125. Let us know if you spot any. I'm there December 12-22, staying up the road at The Royal Lahaina. Facing the sea, so hopefully (fingers crossed!)
