5 Best Places to Whale Watch on Maui (Including a Boat Tour Option)

Whale Watching in Maui Hawaii
If you are on Maui in the winter, humpback whales quickly become one of the most unforgettable parts of the island. While sightings can happen from shore in several areas, South and West Maui tend to give you some of the best viewing angles during the season. This is the time of year when a quiet beach day can suddenly turn into a crowd pointing at the horizon after a spout, tail slap, or full breach. Pick vantage points with long channel views, give yourself a little time, and try to go when the light is easier on your eyes. The five spots below are a few of my favorite ways to enjoy whale season on Maui.

There is something about a Maui day that makes Mexican food sound especially good by late afternoon. Maybe it is the combination of sun, salt water, and a long drive home from the beach. Maybe it is the simple fact that tacos, burritos, enchiladas, and chips with salsa are easy to crave and easy to repeat. Either way, Maui has a handful of Mexican food spots that locals, visitors, and part-time owners come back to again and again.

Some are sit-down restaurants where you can settle in for margaritas and a full dinner. Others are quick-grab places that make perfect sense when you want something fast that still feels like a real meal. The seven spots below are spread across South Maui,…

Lava shelves look more dramatic, snorkeling spots feel more alive, and the shape of the island starts to click in a way it never quite does from the road. If you are trying to choose one or two unforgettable days on the water, these are five Maui boat tours that consistently stand out for the right reasons.

The best part is that they are not all trying to do the same thing. Some are…
