Winter Whale Watching in Maui
During the winter months, an estimated 3,500 majestic humpback whales migrate from their summer feeding grounds in Alaska to make Maui’s warm waters their winter home. From early December to the end of April, visitors and residents of the island thrill at the sight of these beautiful animals in their natural breeding area.
Because of Hawaii’s location in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, the water is relatively nutrient free (which is why our waters are so clear and blue) and too warm to support enough of the humpback’s food to sustain them year round. During the summer they must migrate back to colder water to feed and rebuild their blubber supply.
