Theyʻre baaaaaack! The humpback whales are starting to arrive in Hawaii waters for the winter season – the first whale was sighted on September 29. Winter whale watching is one of the most incredible experiences in the islands, so if you are planning a winter trip to Maui make sure you read my new ALL ABOUT MAUI blog: MAUI WHALE WATCHING TIPS. 

Here are my last two blogs, as well. Hope this info is helpful in your trip planning!:
