First, the annual humpback whale watching season is in full swing off the shores of our beautiful Ma’alaea Surf Resort. Officially, the peak whale watching months are January, February and March. Want to see a whale? You should try a whale watching cruise. These cruises are the most popular way to view these wonderful creatures. For the more adventurous, try a kayaking excursion. Kayaking is another great way to see these magnificent creatures. Finally, the views from our Kihei oceanfront and beachfront condo’s in Maui aren’t bad either!
