The best time for whale watching in Maui is from December to April (peak season is February and March), when the North Pacific humpback whales travel to Maui for their annual winter migration. Guests can witness these magnificent creatures breaching, tail-slapping, and socializing during this period.

The whales most commonly seen by visitors on a vacation to Maui are the North Pacific humpback whales. Many other species of whales are known to frequent the waters surrounding Maui though, like the False Killer Whale, Pygmy Killer Whale, Pilot Whale, and Orca.
